Went to the store and picked up a new radio (AM,FM,CD), the old after-market CD player stopped working.
Took the next big project out of its packaging, no small task, the unit comes encased in that foam that expands and then hardens. Still had fun though, can't wait to get started.

Went out for a drive and my batter voltage gauge randomly dropped to below 9 volts but kept running so I drove back home and now it's back up to 14 volts

Thanks haha just what I wanted to hear. That alternator is about 7 or 8 years old. Not sure if that's about their lifespan or not. But I should probably look into getting one

Today? I drove the hell out of it like I woulda my Wife's 300+HP car across town the the ER,cause the school called n said my daughter went into anypolactic shock over a mild food allergy in Culinary Arts class (she's very allergic to onions,didn't know the rice another student cooked had any in it). That's 3 times in the month or so I've owned it that it's gotten me or me and a sick child to the ER in a hurry (once in 6" of/still pouring snow) without complaint...Jeep just moved from "vehicle I really like" into "family member".
She's fine now,BTW (or I wouldn't be home telling the mini-story,LOL,I'd be at the horsepital still). A sports car it will never be (I can drive the Wife's car when I feel need to hit the track),but a family member it'll always be,till rust-away/accident do us part
