Sunday and Monday are my days off, so I guess I'll do some laundry today.  Working from home now, so I don't need as many clean clothes as if I were going in to the call center, but I can't sit here in just my skivvies either.....  what would the pizza delivery gal think?

Took the whole stickin thing apart and found that there is a wattage limiter put into ceiling fans since 2007 to restrict using a total wattage of bulbs or more than 190W. Never heard of such. i took the part out, and the lights now work fine but are a tad brighter than what they used to be.

Anybody with any info on it?

Waiting for one of the bulbs to blow.....

We don't have such a restriction here (that I know of) but I would suggest that the limiter is there to prevent the heat from the bulb building up and damaging the fan.

What sort of bulb is it and can you put an LED replacement in? It will run cooler and use less power than say an incandescent bulb.

I follow a lot of the bars, restaurants and breweries in the area on instagram, and just about all of them will fill up growlers or insulated cups along with the food. Mellow mushroom announces it daily..

Bars and restaurants here can sell beer and wine to go, no hard liquor, but it has to be in sealed containers so you can't get a draft beer to go. Cans or bottles only. There are a few places that fill growlers in normal times so I guess they'll still do that.

I took off last Thu & Fri. Was supposed to have search & rescue training Fri-Sun but all training has been canceled so I took off just cuz. Anyway, been doing A LOT of cleaning/purging. Ya know, stuff that's just been sitting around for a while & needs to be put away or thrown away - 2 trips to the dump so far.
We live in the country so no breweries and only a handful of restaraunts so I've just been cooking at home.

Back to work tomorrow & very thankful to have a job. That being said, our call volume has dropped significantly & they are now cancelling our overtime. I'm usually working quite a bit of ot this time of year to comp my checks so I can use the leave come summer so that is a bummer but I'll make due.

Happy Mon y'all & wash your hands!

Mellow Mushroom is running a deal, $10 for a large pie. The regular price is $15.50. A large pie is a lot for one person but now I can have cold pizza for breakfast tomorrow.
