I was able to cope with changing the volume. I don't know if there's a slip or a notch or ... something that catches behind that thing, but somehow I can turn up or down the volume.
Till yesterday driving home from work. The reggae station on satellite radio was a bit too loud, so I thought I would turn it down, so I reach over and turn the knob counter-clockwise -- and it doesn't move. It can go the other way, louder, but if I dial it back it hits ... something. The loudness of the song was still bothering me, so I turned that off and turned on National Public Radio instead. Except now NPR was a bit too loud, and so I try again and still I hit some sort of wall.
I probably was OK with the volume of my radio as it is now, say, ten years ago. But my middle-aged ears wants this turned down, and now I can't control it. I tried adjusting the satellite radio receiver but it's still too loud. Maybe it hit something on the road, I don't know. Again, there are no easy fixes. You apparently can't replace the volume knob; you have to replace the whole goddamn radio. I'm not going to do that.
Bringing it into the mechanic for the power steering leak, and now I have one other thing to ask him about. If he can't fix it, I might just have to pull the fucking fuse on it.
