Missing cover for engine fuse box, working in desert, sand began shorting out fuses.

Headlight out again. After past experience changing only the burnt out light and then having the other one go out a week later (with such difficulty getting to either headlight), I opted for a mechanic to change both headlights.

CD heard trying to engage even with vehicle turned off for a day. Opted to jam a CD partway in to block it and so I could continue listening to the radio. Live with it for now.
