Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well get to work today..... boss changed my schedule and got me working in the shop on Saturdays now. I could be working on the Dart but it’s ok I guess I’ve got to pay for the Dart somehow lol. Just gives me mondays off to work on it while the wife and kids are at school/work so I don’t get yelled at for “playing with the Dart too much” haha

I replaced a bunch of 8 ft fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs today (had to bypass the ballast on each fixture). They look really cool and light up the area tons better than before. Now to see if they last as long as they're claimed to..

Ben... I just did the same, in my shop, a couple a months ago. Pull all the ballasts out and direct wired 20 , 4 bulb units. Bought 80... YES 80 bulbs to do the job. But.... Its great now.. plenty of light in the shop. and I can turn off a row of lights as needed.

I used to work nights 3 on 3 off 12 hour shifts no holidays (military), it was fantastic take 3 off get 9!

$2.10 for a half pint of Sperm oil sounds like a good deal to me! I'll be darned if I would touch a whale like that again just to fill a 1/2 pint for $2.10....even if it would be one shot.

 

[halifaxhops]

I Am back from an 84 day (19th) strategic deployment.

Welcome home a good one or a crappy one? You go me beat did 12.

I have had real good luck with mine. I have only had this shop up a few years but no issues at all. For the $ they better last!

 

[dartnabout]

They quit emailing me. I guess I don't buy enough

 

[halifaxhops]

I definitely need better lighting in mine I walked in yesterday and could not see anything till my eyes adjusted. Ice blind I guess!

Man I go a break yesterday that 1953 sun timing light I scored actually works! That does not happen to often, already stripped the box and one coat of paint on it.

So what's that, sometime in July for you?

Mines just a little more than that with State Farm on the Duster. Did you get antique plates. I need to do my registration and will probably go antique. Ran out end of January.

I wouldn't waste any more time on it than you must to be able to get through at this point. You are probably getting same as us . Heavy rain tomorrow and above freezing most of the week- even at night.

Good Morning
