Let there be light!

The other day I told Kirk, all I want for Christmas is a light over the kitchen sink.

We had a light once. It burned out during the summer, some time. I bought a new fluorescent bulb but, it still didn't work. Finally last Sunday, Kirk got fed up with the fact of working in the dark at the sink (not that he does that often). Sure, we have another light in the kitchen but, it is above and behind what you are working on, so the shadows can get irritating.

He got his trusty meter out to test the currents. We have electric in the lines. In fact everything tested positive. It has to be the balis (not sure if I'm spelling it right?). Can't check that. Time for another light.

Since he is in the mood for fixing this, I hurry out to town to find anything that will work. Looks and design is not an issue here. I want light.

I purchased a light for $19.99 bulbs not included. Purchased bulbs.
Total, $27.11.
What a deal! It was a two person installation. Our age is showing in times like this. His arms are getting sore trying to hold up fixture while trying to match screwdriver with screw. My job is to hold fixture. What a team! We turn on switch. One light bulb burns out. But, we have some light!

Excitement is too much. Need a beer as we spend this moment staring at the light. It might be too bright now. We don't care. Our vision is not the best so more light the better.

Merry Christmas
