Garage
That was an interesting F1 race. Amazing start. Interesting winner. I would never have guess that winner.

I spent the afternoon in the garage. The weather was great for temperature. No AC needed.

I changed the stereo in the 911 two weekends ago and I was about to consider myself stupid because the only sound from the new stereo sounded like the car behind me in traffic. Just muffled noise. I started my research and finally figured out the real problem was the previous owner! After owning a car for 20 years it is not often I can blame a previous owner for a problem.

I presume like many people in the 80s one of the previous owners took the car to a typical stereo shop and had them put in an amplifier under the seat. I replaced the POS cassette radio that was in it long ago. That previous owner took it to a typical stereo shop that did some real butcher work that I have fixed much of. The one thing I left alone was that amp. That amp will be in the trash can soon. I will have to remove the passenger seat to get rid of it but I have not done that as yet.

The new stereo is all iPod ready and it plays USB drives and will charge a iPhone and play the music on it at the same time. It will do the bluetooth connections and even HD radio.
