The good news:  My car is working fine and instead of just running in and picking up goodies from Corner Bakery, I ran into an old friend and ended up having breakfast there, too. 
The bad news:  Apparently my car has some sort of anti-theft radio thingy that if the power is cut, the stereo no longer works UNLESS you have a special code.
The good news:  We have the code!  Hooray!
The bad news:  The code doesn't work.
The good news:  You have 7 tries to use the code before it locks up and won't allow you to try anymore.
The bad news:  I used all 7 tries and the code didn't work.
The good news:  I can call Honda and they will help me!
The bad news:  I called the dealer and they want to charge me $95.00 to pull the radio to reset it.  $95.00!!!!!!!  I can go to Best Buy and BUY a new stereo for less than that. 
The good news:  M answered his phone at work and patiently listened while I cried about the stupid radio not working and didn't make me feel...well, stupid.  =0)
The bad news:  I am refusing to pay that much money for a stinkin' code, so I am without a clock or stereo forevermore.
(or until I cave in and drive to the dealer.  sigh.)

Russ had radio problems due to battery issues in his old car. It was cheaper to replace the entire thing - go figure! Can you use a portable CD player and hook it up to the speakers as a temporary fix?
