The new XM car kit arrived night before last.\u00a0 Yesterday morning before leaving for work, I installed the new XM receiver cradle and tried to use the old antenna.\u00a0 No dice.\u00a0 I installed the new antenna, and everything worked fine.<\/p>\n
In comparing the two, the cradle appeared to have lost a metal sleeve on the antenna jack which would have prevented an electrical connection between the antenna and the cradle.\u00a0 No electical connection, no antenna detected.\u00a0 I haven’t looked closely, so I don’t really have an answer as to why the old antenna\u00a0didn’t connect to the new cradle.\u00a0 That connection has always been a tough one on that device, so perhaps it was damaged in some way.<\/p>\n
I’m wrapping up loose ends at work.\u00a0 I had a medical procedure yesterday morning which should eliminate (or confirm, but I think eliminate) bad medical things and reduce the problem to just an annoying one that will eventually go away (achieving menopause should cure it), but the perimenopause stage is apparently a real annoyance.\u00a0 Now, if I could just get confirmation on my moving contractor and dates.\u00a0 I’ve been told I should get what I asked for, but I’m reaching the point where I need to contact utility providers, and I want to ensure I have my dates right.\u00a0 I expect to be watching the truck loaded with my household goods drive away two weeks from today, but I don’t have any confirmation of that.\u00a0 I’m just getting a little anxious.\u00a0 I’m sure it will all smooth out by next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
