@Sparky is that a LED work light or one of those old school "Bulb Eater" models?

 

This is the time of year back in the day when the droplights would get rain and snow dripping on them and the bulbs would explode. I was working at a Chevy dealership and we went thru so many bulbs they started keeping track of how many each one of us we going thru. Like we were doing it on purpose.  There was one guy nobody liked so when we broke a bulb we would steal his bulb and put the bad one in it's place. So he started putting his initials on his bulbs. So we all put his initials on our bulbs so he couldn't figure out who was talking them!

I totally know what you mean Mike!! 
  This is a standard old bulb eater that I got sick of swapping bulbs in (including the “rough service” ones). Bought this screw in LED head, simply remove the old bulb cage and screw it in. Still has a hook

I have that same one.  Great light.

Made a front hitch to move the trailer I bought recently.  Not as easy to install and remove as I'd like, but it works.

Today we set out to rebuild the carb on the Commando. The needle has been sticking, so it will either not start for lack of fuel, or it floods.

 

We got started, then I got pulled away for another task, and the boy finished without me. When we tried it it started to pour fuel out the carb throat right away.

 

On a hunch I walked over to the work bench, and there were two needles sitting there. So we rolled it up into the garage, put it on the charger, and called it a day. We will fix it tomorrow.

That's what I told him.

 

He hates making mistakes but i have been telling him since he was 3 that failure is a better teacher than success.  Success teaches us how to do it. Failure teaches us why why do it that way.
