Re: Reminder to work safe

I looked for a rough service incandescent drop light bulb the other day to put in my pump house to throw off enough heat to keep it from freezing and had a hard time even finding a 100 watt regular bulb now. I had so many burn marks from those things from the years I did use them in drop lights that I don't want to use one again.

I have a friend who would work on his race car in his home garage and he spilled some gas one day and the pilot light on the gas furnace ignited the fumes and burnt garage, house and race car to the ground. He spent money on another race car before he got the house situation taken care of and his pretty nifty wife divorced him because of it. He didn't have enough sense to go house first and then race car.
