Well, after lunch and at around 2:00pm or so, Paw and I went out and left Maw at home. I took a wrong route and ended up at our designation: the Goodwill store, where I “donated” two bags of “libros” (or books) and one bag of clothes, mostly sweaters that ride up on my belly. But the sleeves are long. I figured the books would find a better home “outside” of the library system. I had planned on driving those in downtown San Jose, CA but it wasn’t worth the travel since our gasoline for octane rating of 87 ranges somewhere between $4.03 to $4.33 per gallon!
As for my Sony MCH-C70 Mini Hi-Fi stereo system, it was gently placed atop other electronic goods, such as a BIG television set and an old calculator. The two speakers, a reference manual, and a remote control, including 2-AA batteries, went along inside the BIG cardboard box. For awhile, the two cassette decks wouldn’t open after leaving a couple of tapes to “contact aliens”. The radio tuner and CD player worked fine. But when I tried to check if there was a CD this afternoon, the system turned on fine initially. But it responded slow. Thinking that it was “turned on”, I pressed the on/off button and it “turned off”. I tried to revive it manually several times but it didn’t respond. I tried the remote control but that didn’t work. I then plugged it into a different electrical outlet but the hi-fi was dead. R.I.P.
