The driver most likely is integral in da the lamp housing...Like said out of the trade for this new fudu witchcraft fandangle... Its alway something

 

Bust out some of that moldy wallet money and install brand spank'n new UL listed schtuff... you will thank me later perhaps a Tuesday for a hamburger today

 

I happen to like Roquefort.

 

Stream WRCO 100.9 Richland Center Sunday nite "old country" show...from your Wisco roots if ya got some time some Sunday Just listened to Rosanna Yellow Bandana

 

Listening to my favorite old hillbilly Public Radio country bumpkin radio hour at the moment. BTW, it's spelled Kelvin.

 

When I speel't it i was tink'n about Kalvin pissin on a cheby

 

Now I got how they arrived at 30K, 40K, 50K, 65K. I wasn't clear (certain) what the 'K' represented but when you mentioned Kelvin, the light (in my head) became brighter.

Kelvin is a measurement of molecular motion (thermodynamics). Zero (0) K represents zero molecular motion - dead zero, no motion, nada, zilch. it might exist in space or if I suck (vacuum) all the atoms from a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) vacuum tube. As molecules begin to move (become excited) their atoms begin to get excited and/or spin. This creates 'heat' (a thermodynamic property). This heat can be displayed as color. Like the Doppler Effect, a star moving away from Earth appears red, a star moving towards Earth appears blue (blue shifting). Albeit, those colors are the result of heat relative to the E-M (Electro-Magnetic) Specturm. I digress.

None-the-less, it makes sense now knowing those numbers (30K, 40K, 50K , 65K) are instead colors based upon the thermodynamics of heat and the colors produced via varying wavelengths. Brilliant.

 

Funny

 

John - How you feeling? Recovered from the $hitz?

 

Golf next...

 

With 30 hours on the Ventrac, I am planning to begin maintenance this fall at 50 hours. I think I will hit that before end of season. Everything will need cleaned and greased. I need to find a grease cutting paint safe cleaner for under decks.

That's a nice whacker. I may need something like that. I need a belt job on the small rider here soon.

I have a sodium light out. 15 feet up on a slope on gravel. I will try my bulb changer on a stick first.

Color temp is fascinating. My house has 2700K LED, and some 3000K. There is not enough fixtures in the house. I picked a wonderful tan but it sucks up the light. I may go slightly lighter in new house, but I will need big fixtures. My friend said get cooler lights or risk looking like a '70s steakhouse.

My grandmother would say that at the local old folks' favorite cafeteria. They knew it meant blue cheese. I wish she had gone a few more years, but Covid would not be worth it for her, so only a few more. She went in late 09. Class act. 100 year old professor with 45 year tenure of home economics. PhD, department head, Indiana State.

Yes, it's flame brightness. Or star output. I haven't done theater lighting in a long time, but there is an entire science for the gels, or filters. I miss being a lighting designed a bit.

Yes, other than the usual brain fog / dehydration, I have eaten beef for several meals since then. I shall blame it on food poisoning, and assume it was a vasovagal response to an acute attack. I may swear off Taco Bell forever. I no longer eat Subway, and it may join it on the list. I am trying to eat zero fast food while not traveling. I should do like today and eat salad at the plant. The salad bar is consistently good.

 

Good afternoon guys,

Norm - Glad you got the lighting figured out!

John - Glad you're feeling better!

Rain, rain, and more rain here, it's getting pretty old! It rained out Keegan's 2nd Football game yesterday. Stormed bad overnight starting at about 4am thru 9am, and more is supposed to be coming in around 5pm. I'm sure Keegan's baseball game tonight will be canceled just due to wet fields from last night even without the threat of rain later.

Maggie's gimpy again, we know the underlying cause already from her last visit to the vet. We have pain and anti-inflammatory meds left from her last bout so we're monitoring her for right now to she if she gets better again. It really sucks seeing your pet in pain and not much you can do about it.

Got an appointment to take the Yamaha moto in for a safety inspection on Wednesday morning so I can renew the plates, the Indian doesn't require one because it's newer with extremely low mileage. I need to renew the plates on both bikes by June 26th or there will be a fine when they are renewed.

Hope everyone has a great week! 😃

 

I forgot they made those bulb changers. I hope it works out OK. What a great life for your grandmother - very cool. They have protein (cheese, eggs, meats) at the salad bar? If it's consistently good I'd be all over it.

Chris - The lighting isn't figured out only a safer platform to work from. Jury is still out on how I will address resolution. I couldn't find a ballast in my drawer of electrical equipment, but I may have moved it to one of several boxes w/ electrical equipment. Still, not sure if I'm going to upgrade ballasts or upgrade to new LED lamps.

Splendid day playing golf at my old club. Course is in PGA conditions. Had a great time, shot great & took 1st place.

 

Norm - as smak'n whitey, goes well done.

Chris - Savor the time with the Pups. Here is a good one from dog lovers to their faithful pals you may get a kick out of.


John - I wonder about the static / magnetic blade rotation/ grass flow on these decks, that stuff almost welds in place. One thing I always wondered is there a way no counter charge the deck to repel the magnetism...+/-

 

Norm - Sorry Norm, I must have misunderstood. I thought you had decided to go the LED route.

Sounds like you've been been playing very well as of late and really enjoying yourself again, and that's great! 👍

 

Got woke up Sunday at 2am to a loud thumping turbine sound, which vibrated the whole neighborhood. The Chinook choppers were at it again. They are currently stationed at our airport for training, more than likely sharing space with the Coast Guard helicopter which is staioned there as well. They flew by last week, a pair of them, I was outside at the time watching them. Those sound waves literally shake everything, and they are loud. Took the Olds out for a nice sunny cruise over the weekend, up Senic drive along Lake Michigan to Whitehall, 20 miles + as it was the longer senic route. One of my favorite places to drive. The new top needs to stretch a bit, as it is a pain to get latched once it is in the up position.

 

 

Norm, they typically have bacon bits, cubed ham, chunked hard boiled egg, chunked fried chicken and chunked grilled chicken. I usually put a bit of fried chicken and egg in a soup cup, pay for it all, then go nuke the soup cup, and add to salad once warm. It's almost a wrap at that point.

Went and spent a lot of money on my yearly chemicals run at the grocery store. Couple each of laundry, dishwasher, and dish detergent, some rinse aid, bleach, ziplocs, toiletries, and over the counter medicine and a big can of coffee. Forgot hand soap, will get that later this week.

 

A pack of four LED lamps have shipped - I only require one for replacement into the current fixture containing LED lamps. What I elect to do w/ the other fixture w/ ballasts + incandescent lamps might depend on if I can find the one ballast I think I still have (somewhere), but I'll need to purchase another ballast at my local electrical supply warehouse if I decide on replacing ballasts. Whether I elect to go LED or replace ballasts I'll still need to rewire the fixture for either one or the other. I have no issues upgrading ballasts, incandescent lamps produce a good light. We'll see. In the meantime I need to remove that fixture whichever was I go, so I'll start w/ removal first then see how the cards play out.

Yeah, golf was very enjoyable. 👍

 

Dan - Low flying Chinooks rattling your house @ 2am is a rude awakening - those suckers are loud. And, the corn cobbs & slab of beef looks delicious - oh yeah.

 

John - That salad bar sounds excellent. Many of my public sector customers had awesome salad bars - most were Aramark & I thought they did an excellent job. Shopping for laundry sundries etc. is about the only time I'll venture into Walmart because I buy all that stuff in bulk and horde it for at least 1/2 a year so I don't have to venture out.

 

Yep, we're sure trying to cherish every day with them! Wonderful video, thank you for sharing

 

Great looking dinner Dan! Glad you were able to get your car out for a pretty drive on a nice day! I'm jealous.

 

We have Aramark and they are pretty bad, but the salad bar is one of their, perhaps two, good parts.

 

One half rack of baby back ribs, the other half is in the fridge waiting for tomorrow!
