Good morning everyone, the start of a new workweek for a lot of folks, I remember that and do miss it a bit. I also miss those paychecks. Now we have to rely on the Feds for our monthly return of what we paid into Social Security all those years. Temps this week are in the low to mid-60's, a bit below normal. We have rain in the forecast for today, tomorrow and Friday. We'll keep our fingers crossed since February is one of our rainy months. 
Does Canada have the same restrictions on incandescent bulbs as we have in the US? We have a fairly decent stock of 60W, 100W and three-way incandescents, not that we're hoarders, it's just that they were being offered so cheap we couldn't afford to pass them up. We also have found that the CFL's don't give out the same intensity of light that the incandescent ones do. That, plus so far they haven't come out with a CFL replacement for a three-way bulb.
We would switch to LED bulbs, but we would have to put a second mortgage on the house to do that.

Dayle spotted an instruction on the package that it was supposed to be installed with the base down. Wonder why? The replcement I got (down to 125W -- stock shortage) didn't say that.
