You will not find a florescent lamp with that output. You just have to go with a halogen, or if you can find a LED replacement.

First lets pull up some of the in roof so I can drop a new post through it.Smucky wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 11:39 pm Now that it is after 6pm, time to head out and do some farm work.![]()
Well grandpa, why you use so many nails back in 1970?
Drop the post through
12 ft post, 8 ft to the rafter, and 4 ft in the ground = 12 ft right?
So why is a foot sticking out through the roof??
Anyway, chain saw time I guess
Now time to screw the tin back down and blob caulk everywhere
Hey nice view up here

Yea I looked for a replacement bulb online at homedepot. A two pack of 500 watt bulbs for $10, so not bad. thought they cost more than that.NinjaPoodle wrote: Mon Oct 13, 2025 10:08 amSmucky wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 3:42 am And then my only light source, this halogen shop light thing burnt out.

Because everything was so cheap back then.
Today though, we use self drilling screws.

Yea these were the old style nails. Instead of a rubber washer thing under the head, it was a lead washer. I remember playing with them as a kid back in the early 1990's. You could pry the washer off them and then hammer them into thin flat pancakes. Which I thought was cool. I think I also tried chewing on a few them for funNinjaPoodle wrote: Mon Oct 13, 2025 4:19 pmBecause everything was so cheap back then.

Now, things starting to clear up why you do autistic stuff like taking slowmos of florescent lights.

We cannot allow something like this. Sleeping during the day is old man things to do. What next? Diapers?

Honestly, I think a catheter would be the holy grail. I only poop once a day (if lucky). But piss out gallons of coffee 24/7. Would be nice if I could just run a small hose out the window

I did an experiment
So before the filter change: And after
ECM motor have a crappy power factors so I guess to get watts, something like
244v*2.08amp*.7pf = 355 watts
vs
244v*1.71amp*.7pf = 292 watts
Cool I guess

Got a new billy goat for the herd today. From my neighbor. He is young, 7 months. But def fully of spirit and went right to work. And his actions seemed to wake up the other billies I got that are only 5 months old. Just watched a nanny get ramrodded by 3 billies back to back. Never seen that 
And now I got a boner

Need to swing by the hardware store today. Need to get a new halogen bulb and some shear bolts for the tractor auger. Got to be quick in the non air conditioned store or I'll start pouring sweat

Stop scaring us with your CFL crap.
Those 500W halogen lamps are really fragile and they tend to burn out quickly. I had a bunch of those for like 20 years ago but replaced them with their LED counterpart. The LED ones are just as bright and last forever.

Though not protruding as much as I had planned but oh well.

How do you know that the oil doesn't dissolve the glue?
