"You Gotta Love the Internet!"
"It was 63 Degrees Today!"
or
"I Fixed the Mirror."
I woke up early today, drove to the dealership to buy the mirror, after two good autoparts places said that it was a "dealer only" item.
I got pulled over in the parking lot of the Subaru dealer for expired registration (just hasn't been a priority since we returned from LT, and it expired about two days before we got back to the states).
Talked myself out of that ticket, but Windy really IS going to take care of it on Friday!
Bought the mirror-looked complicated-wires dangling all over the place. Which I am sure explains its $200 price tag.
Got home, removed the old mirror, and clipped the wires of the old one, because I couldn't figure out how to remove the inside door panel (no I am not kidding, the door panel had to be removed completely in order to plug in the wires).
Went on the internet, and I post my query here, verbatim "subaru outback how to remove door panel."
On the first page was a step, by step, with pictures, explanation on how to remove my door panel! It was posted by some car stereo/subaru dork.
I had only missed one secret screw underneath the power lock device, but it was enough to not let me pull the panel off.
The new mirror looked so out of place on the snow beaten car that I had to get the whole thing washed.
Then I got my teeth cleaned, and two new fillings that my dentist said could wait until I got back from LT.
Fun day.

I'm glad it was 63 degrees. That's got to be a welcome change!
And I'm a little weirded out about the internet instructions...
It's nice to know there is help for the do it yourselfer in this complicated age.
I checked the CCU webcam and saw lots of snow still. I'll see what is left after 63 degrees. We hit well into the 80's here and the high 70's at the coast!
Roads are great, but I managed to fnd a few northern exposures that still had FIVE inches deep of ice (now with large crevasses running through the middle). The web cam shows snow on all of the grass, which is true, but it is soooo much less in terms of depth.
