As usual, my efforts are misdirected. When I should be concentrating on installing a temporary exhaust system so I can start the engine, instead I've been working on the less important entertainment and navigation features.
The special push-on terminals for the speaker wires finally arrived so I was able to finish the radio/GPS installation. To my surprise, everything works! Even the navigation program receives a signal inside the building, although all I could do was program my home location.
The only thing left to do for the screen display is install the rearview camera and that will involve cutting a hole in the body somewhere near the license plate. It will have to wait until I can drive the car out of the garage and can determine the best location to mount the camera.
Other than that, not much is being accomplished while I try to catch up on outdoor chores and projects. The late spring put me far behind with time consuming lawn and garden projects like weeding, edging and mulching flower beds. It is ironic that I have too much yard work for one old man, but not enough for a crew of landscapers. I've been trying to hire a part time helper for months, but there is no interest from young people who want a "position", but not a job that gets their hands dirty or makes them sweat.
