(no subject)

I'm kinda at Katsucon, yet technically I'm not. Decided to not get a room there this year. Didn't spend much time there for Friday, thanks to the fact that I went into work for half a day and the work commute from hell this morning. That'll happen when I-83 gets shut down due to a bunch of wrecks from icy roads. If I had known it would've been that bad, I would have schluffed off work entirely and found another way there. At least I found some interesting backup routes that most people wouldn't bother themselves with learning, and I got Ai-chan's cd player working properly again. Turned out it was just a dinky little belt that wore out, the kind that cost more to ship than for the actual part itself. Putting the new belt in was an operation in itself (all the parts are small and easily knocked out of alignment), but all told, it sure did beat having to buy a new cd player, or even the repair charge for fixing it. So if anyone out there has a Pioneer CD player from a couple years ago that'll load/eject a disc but not read it, it could be that. And I even have an extra belt. Gotta love complete parts availability to the general public. Ok then, off to bed for me.
