Time for the awesome update:

The parts came (all I needed was the power jack, but I got fuses as well, plus Rob sent me a handful of encoders), and I put the new power jack in there, and all appears to be well. We'll see if it tries to chase me out of the car next time I get in there. If it does, that would speak to some car electrical problems. In fact, earlier today I tried to use the emergency flashers (while picking up Equinox Marathon course markers) and they didn't work at all. Something to look into...

Trevor Rabin -- interesting name. There's a couple of T. Rabin tracks on the player, that Tony no doubt had something to do with.
