One Eyed Jack

On Sun­day I noticed the pas­sen­ger side fog light was out (only one reflec­tion in the shiny back doors of an SUV.) Tonight I popped on down to Advanced Auto and bought a new H1 bulb. I briefly con­sid­ered a fancy new LED replace­ment, but they are roughly 3 times the cost and the LED por­tion is some­times longer than the stan­dard bulb, mak­ing fit­ment problematic.

As I sat on my butt on the garage floor remov­ing the front right tire, so I could access the fog light hous­ing, I had a dis­tinct sense of deja vu. And it didn’t seem like too long ago that I was doing this same thing and to this same fog light. So to see if this a reg­u­lar recur­ring thing I’ve added a “Fog Light Bulb” tag for track­ing purposes.

The Emperor got the spa treat­ment today after work. Not just to wash the north Geor­gia bugs off, but the inte­rior needed vac­u­um­ing to find a cou­ple “dropped in the cock­pit” items. At the Tal­lu­lah Gorge Over­look earth­cache I lost the sty­lus for the Ipaq and it was pre­sumed to be inside the car. Also, on the drive back from Hen­der­son­ville I dropped a maple cov­ered peanut. Didn’t find the sty­lus, but did find the peanut.

And finally, because it is Octo­ber, I remounted the Vam­pire Teeth in the mouth of the Miata.
