During the last couple of weeks or so I've had several things go South, so I need to vent a little. First several florescent light tubes have been causing problems, so I decided to replace them with ones from my home workshop. I would then put in some newer LED's replacements. Okay so I buy some Phillips that claim to be easy to swap out. I then added the LEDs to a typical shop fixture, but I soon discovered they didn't like to actually light, they got very hot and sort of sizzled/sparked. So that chapter has yet to be resolved. I personally dislike those double pronged tubes anyhow. My studio area has 8' tubes that never cause problems.

I'm now back working on assignments so I decided to get in early, but I was again foiled by a broken radiator hose, the tow and the dues that involves. On Friday I needed to print out a instruction manual, so I started to print but ran out of paper. Now today with paper in hand, the printer won't even turn on! It's a Canon Pro 100 that was a replacement for a prior defective one, so perhaps that's statement from Canon! I have had a area air cleaner that helps keeping dust down in my model railroad room, but now after several years it won't turn on either. What's next, not sure if I should even try driving home!
