An Uneventful Day Became An Epic Evening!

Richard 

I did nothing today. I was not happy about it. After having been so productive all week, I had momentum, but nothing that I could direct it to with the limited amount of time that I had this afternoon. You see, this morning was spent running errands, and then I had to take Bonnie somewhere this afternoon, so there wasn’t time to get into a project with any sort of depth.

So, I dropped Bonnie off – actually, I rode with her to a friends house on the other end of town, and then I rode back home by myself – and then, while I was sitting here trying to decide how to spend my evening, I saw an ad on Craigslist for some LED video bulbs. The ad didn’t jump out at me at first because I wasn’t really sure what it was offering. The ad said the seller had 20 bulbs they were offering at $12 a piece, but it was in the free section. That’s when I noticed that the ad was two months old. They must have given up on trying to sell the bulbs.

So, I sent an email asking if I could pick them up this evening. I didn’t even know how many bulbs I was picking up. Within just a few minutes, I had completely forgotten about the ad and the email I had sent. I was watching Youtube videos and doing other things, and I eventually saw a reply to my email sitting in my inbox. It said that they had just put all of the bulbs, along with two fixtures (whatever they were) in the dumpster behind a Korean Church. I jumped in the car and hurried as fast as I could to get to that dumpster before anyone else beat me to it. It was 6 p.m. on a Saturday night, and I really believed that junkers like me were descending on that dumpster from all over the county. I thought I was wasting my time.

When I got to the Korean Church, there wasn’t a soul to be seen anywhere around. I don’t know what I was thinking. I pulled 24 Large LED bulbs – brand new in their boxes – from the dumpster, along with four funky-ass homemade light fixtures. They were just 6 inch junction boxes with 8 Edison sockets mounted to the sides with two plugs coming out of the top. I don’t know what they’re for, but they make a hell of a lot of light.

I don’t know what I’m going to do with them, but when the time is right, I’ll know.
