I figured two 3 foot rods would be enough.6 hours later he's *****in that he didn't get enough
why do you need that 3rd light bulb.>??...which isn't even turned on..????Starting to look like a workshop instead just a big chip-board room.

But I didn't get enough 1/4" rod for the pegs.
as it is, you really should have bought the LED's in a clear lens, to give off more light.
for instance, in all 3 of my apartments, we have ceiling fans. each fan has a globe, that is frosted. you simply cannot put a frosted bulb inside of a frosted globe, as this cuts down the light's brightness.
so, in each ceiling fan's globe, we have clear lens LED's..better lighting.
right now, (as of this upcoming weekend) i will be shopping for LED 40 watt shop lights (in a fluorescent style tube), for my workshop.
seriously, to get a wider, brighter coverage of those LED's, get clear lens ones, not frosted, unless you need frosted for table lamps that have a lamp shade....

I put that up there to see if it's worth the trouble of cutting that conduit to install a middle light fixture.
The bulb in that socket is one of the 60 watt equivalent yellowish color bulbs I took out. It barely makes a difference and the yellow light screws with my eyes with all the "daylight" ones everywhere else.
Same thing with the light in my drill press.
But I don't have any more "daylight" ones. And no plans to go to Menard's any time soon. I think I'm done for a while.
Only thing left to do is fill in the expansion joints in the floor with this rubbery stuff that comes in a caulk tube and I'm too lazy to do that.
Or blow out the filter in my shop vac and spent a few MONTHS getting all the sawdust off of EVERYTHING in there... Also too lazy to do that.
And insulating the bottom of the top level of the pallet rack which is technically part of the ceiling now. But that's going to be a 2 man job. Gotta have the Geezer on the top level (attic) with my cordless drill and a box of screws to drive down into the 2x4s that support that level, while I'm on the shelf below with a hammer and tape measure making sure they're spaced evenly so the insulation will staple to them. I can't just put them in place then go up there myself cuz they'll shift out of place when I'm moving around up there.
Then during the installation of the insulation I'll need him to hand the pre-cut insulation strips up, otherwise it'll take a million trips up and down the ladder.
But he's taking off to go to my sister's house in Virginia.
Wants me to build a ladder rack for his truck first so he can haul more bicycles.
Gotta order a rear brake caliper for the Goldwing to get that out of there first. Just disassembling it and cleaning it didn't work. I put it back together, bled out the air and it still drags just like before.

The other day on the way to Menard's an old 70's F-250 was beside me at a red light.
After the light changed, due to his loud exhaust, I was able to hear him shift 4 times, so it's a manual 5 speed. I paced him up to 65 mph and his engine didn't sound like it was screaming. Sounded like 2000-2500 rpm. Then I backed off cuz we were approaching a hidey-hole the state troopers have been hiding in lately.
But I caught up at the next light and tried to get his attention. I was going to see if he would whip into a parking lot so I could ask him a bunch of questions like how he built it. What 90's model truck did he get the trans from, what engine he had, if there were bell housing conflicts, if he had to have a custom drive shaft made, problems with clutch linkage, etc.
But his stereo was too loud.
Every jackass and his brother can Frankenstein an ugly old Chevy but it gets complicated with Ford.

I upgraded the wheels for my battery booster. Got tired of it bouncing around all over the place when I'm pulling it. A long time ago I extended the handle to stop it from running over my heels.
I've seen better wheels on kids toys.
Now it's got push lawnmower wheels.

The original nose thingy was plastic and it broke off almost immediately.
Unfortunately there's only two little holes in the sheet metal for it, and no room to drill more because the coils are right above it.
So I made this thing a few years ago. I don't like that I can only use two screws but it's held up for a few years so far.

I think that battery booster blew out the Ranger headlights giving it like 800 volts or something.
The gas smell is so bad I pushed the damn thing back out of the shop. I'll let the wind dry it off overnight then winch it back inside tomorrow. As soon as I turn the key, it runs the fuel pump.

the battery charger i had in my garage, had real rubber tires. damned thing was already something like 20 years old, when i went to work there, weighed more than a '66 Lincoln with suicide doors, too.....

My arc welder is like that.
It's got small wheels like I took off the battery charger but they're real wheels like what's on the front of a push mower. Not those hollow plastic things.

Yeah, one of the chargers that @Duck is breaking my balls about is older than dirt.
It works intermittently but I hate to throw it out because the damn thing probably weighs 4x more than the newer ones.
It would propably still outlast the others too if I can figure out why it dosen't work all the time.
