Like, the VHF ground wire was not connected, and tool kit was extremely depleted... as in no phillips head to open the dash. Which I need to see where the wire goes... And I had not packed the handheld... Didn't have keys to lock up so brought GPS and ignition keys home instead of leaving locked onboard. I had cleaned a vertical inspection port so well that the O-ring no longer holds it in place... Stereo lights up and seems to "function" but no sound, so maybe speakers are shot after 20 plus years. Truth be told, I never play CDs or radio, so not a big deal. But any replacement will only be to receive Sirius Xm, so will research that.
But it is in! Fell asleep around 8pm.
Charity "pursuit" race with silent auction today, benefitting friends' daughter who was shot in attempted murder suicide last November. Got an invite on a huge catamaran...

Go get some and fyi my CC came with a stereo and I never used it, ocean sounds are much better.
