Today's photo is my car stereo, showing the radio station that announced my hottie, Jason Michael Carroll, will be playing a concert in April in QUINCY! So... since the radio station is helping to sponsor the show, which is done every year by the Quincy Fire Department to raise money, I will be listening to this station A LOT MORE hoping to win tickets. Usually ticket winners also get meet and greet passes. Which would make my millenium.

Oh, yeah, and if you noticed the time on the clock {insert eye-rolling smiley here}

This is a Blaupunkt stereo, which was given to me on Valentine's Day  many years ago by my husband {fiance, at the time}.  And it sat around for a long time, after taking it out of the old car because I didn't want to put it in the Escort {we were thinking about selling it}. Gave in last summer because I wanted to be able to listen to my {JMC} CDs in the car, so I had him finally put it in. I love it. However. When the clocks had to be changed for daylight savings, neither one of us could figure out how to change the time. Ok. So it was an hour fast. Big deal. I just won't be late anywhere LOL. THEN they had to replace the transmission. Which apparently means they  have to disconnect the battery {what do I know, I am NOT a car girl} because when I got the car back, it was now 2 hours SLOW.  gah.

Naturally - I don't have the instruction manual anymore {insert another eye-rolling smiley here}. So the answer to that is to just punch buttons randomly until something happens. Well, all that happens here is it changes the clock to MILITARY time.

Which.. ok, I can deal with that. My father, my mother, my brothers, my husband - they were all in the military, so I can read military time. No big deal. Then I realized something kinda cool. In the evenings it's easy to read - just drop the one in the front. Yep, when I took this picture, it was 4:11, and I was heading into work. Doesn't work so well in the morning, but then I'm usually not awake then anyway! LOL

One of these days, I'll see if I can find the manual on the internet. For now, I just leave it. Cos there is just something fun about 14 o'clock.
