Funny your evil self says that. Her last one was gone one day and the PANIC... OMG! Turned out her dog wanted to listen to it in the snow in the dog pen. Found it in the spring. As far as taking it from her. She sleeps with the thing. It might be sleepless nights. Yet with your idea I could grab it and put it in a box when we are sitting opening stuff on the 25th or stick it in the car that morning....hmmm got me thinking again....

Maureen worked last night at the ER and got home at 8:00am. So at 10:00 I thought it would be a good time to take the dash apart and install the Kit. It says 1.5 hours book rate time. So I figured I had enough time since I have worked in 1000's of car dashes before. Ok, So I am 15 mins into it and have tools, screws and dash on the floor and seat. Then the worst happens. I hear a female voice calling my name. It sound ever so familiar. I look up and "dam" it's her at the door looking for me. I peak around the door of HER car and she says "W-as ya do'n". Umm, Quick on me feet I say "oh just checking something out, i'll be right in". So I had just finished making the connections and was mounting the control box. I hurried to install every dash part perfect. I put every folder, disc and paper in the place I found them. Closed the door and looked at my watch. WOW, not bad I thought. 28 mins for 1.5 hour job and she still saw me. Upon entering the house she asked (mind you she has been asking this for every gift for the past year) "did you get my christmas gift for the car?", "ummm, just checking something dear".

Ok, so maybe I got lucky. Yet,she had to run into work for a bit and needed the car. When she got back she said "there is a light on the dash". The ipod unit still needs to be coded at the dealer. "Strang" I say. She finishes by saying "maybe it is only due to the new tires installed yesterday". "Could be".
