Since most of us were off work for the holiday, Prayer Meeting started a little earlier this week. And I have to say, it was one of the best ones we've had. Jay, Ted and I got together and spent time on a project (haven't had one for a while), and a couple of rounds of darts (haven't done that for a while either).
So I was recently given a vintage Christmas decoration, and sometime over the years someone had made some modifications to it that I wanted to undo. The power cord didn't feed through the hole it was intended to go through, and some of the light "bulbs" had been glued in by a previous owner.
Our project involved us rewiring the base, and removing the bulbs that were glued, without damaging the piece. And yes, we were successful. I even brought along a bag containing replacement lights.
Once we had that done, Jay took it a step further (doesn't he always?). We replaced the 7 watt bulb that provides the light with a 60 watt LED bulb that uses the equivalent of 6.5 watts. If you scroll through the pics below, you'll see the difference it made.
Once the project was complete and we had the workbench decorated for the evening, we moved onto a few games of darts.
All in all, it was a great meeting of Rivertarians. Sorry the rest of the gang couldn't make it this week.
I'm posting more pics than usual this week because they kind of tell the story of the evening. All photo credits go to Jay. The one evening I really "needed" my phone, I forgot it at home. You never realize how addicted to those things you are until it's not in your hand. Or until one of your friends constantly reminds you that you forgot your phone!
Enjoy the pics!
