Radio Miracle

My car radio died on the way to Wanaka. I heard the pop of a capacitor discharge, and then it went dead in the next half-hour. On the way to school, it came back on this morning. We'll see how long it lasts. I find it annoying that probably only a 50 cent capacitor needs to be replaced. I don't have the know-how or tools to fix it, and it will cost at least 50 dollars for someone who does. As I sat in my silent car on my return trip for Wanaka, I reflected on my lack of skills. I know how to drive a standard, but that's about it. It would be neat to learn to cook well, read wiring diagrams, garden, play the guitar , etc. I will set some goals for when I turn 40.
