It only takes one hosehead to change it.

But the rest will debate about if it was changed correctly for days
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body totally worn out and screaming,WOO HOO what a ride!

And wheither one brand of Light Bulb, provides better treatment, and which brand light bulb weighs less, and is more travel friendly, and oh yes, we can't leave out creature comfort, such as the pull required on the chain, to turn it on. Jim

Did anyone check if the bulb came with SW so we'll know when we are at the correct wattage?

Any ideas on a proper power backup solution to the lighbulb in case the main power dies or one wishes to take it camping?



By the way, who changed it to flourescent green?

The "Hamster Wheel Generator"... very portable and runs on food pellets.

I trust that the new bulb's manufacturer doesn't charge on-line DMEs a surcharge for its use.

Nomad, every posting of yours makes me laugh aloud.

Now, to the hamster:

Great idea because they are nocturnal animals. Proper lubricating on a recommended schedule will make the wheel more efficient and QUIETER!

I sense a discussion being 'generated' as to the best lube agent: Ayr gel, KY Jelly, or Chapstick....
