LED bulbs gone wild

I have tried "thinking" on while on the Throne, but found that I an no longer skilled at multi-tasking (maybe never was!), so will just concentrate on one thing at a time.
Be well,

I've never really been a throne thinker. For years it was us and 4 kids in a 1 bathroom house and demand could be high.
Many years ago Diana and I got in the habit of getting in a vehicle and going for a "Sunday drive" (on any day of the week) for an hour or two just so we could talk through planning etc. without the dang phone ringing. We were running multiple enterprises and the phone never stopped. Now our cell phones have kind of ruined that but we get a hundred times fewer calls than we did back then. We still enjoy going for drives to talk.

These days if the weather doesn't stink we often walk out in the horse pastures to think. In less desirable weather I often sit in the vehicle for a while after we come home from running errands, sometimes with it parked facing the subject of my thoughts.
Even though this is pretty flat prairie land we do have a big hill back at the north east corner of the farm where I like to drive back and sit looking out over the farm and surrounding countryside. It's a great "thinking spot". I planted 2 acres of Scotch pine and Balsam fir trees there some years ago and the wind through them is quite relaxing. I have been known to go there to do a little writing in good weather. I'm intending to plant about 50 small sugar maples back there this spring. I won't see any syrup from them but maybe someone will some day. It's an ideal spot for gravity flow tap lines down the hill.
In good weather we have either a bench or a couple of those resin chairs sitting in various spots around the farm. I need to replace 2 of those benches this year and put an additional one in a small Black walnut plantation not far from a small pond.
The farm shop isn't a bad thinking spot since it is a general shop and has several big windows and the overhead doors are often open.
The basement woodshop is not really conducive to general thinking since I can't see out very much and when I'm there I am usually thinking about that shop. I'm also usually alone in there.

You would "think" that with all of those thinking spots that I would know something. Oh, well...

I dare say you do not have any 'insufficientcies' in either the knowledge department nor the thinking department nor lack of 'verboseness'.

Made up two of them words. The spell checker does not recognize em.

I have walkway lights which are 11 watt push in bulbs, they cost about $5 for a package of four. Normally they last between 6 months to a year. Two years ago I saw Feit led bulbs at $8 a piece so I replaced my lights with them as the conventional bulbs burned out. The first Led burned out within 6 months. I complained to Feit and they sent me a replacement. Within weeks a second led burned out, so I pulled the other two and took them back to Lowes.

I left the replacement led in and as of today it has lasted longer than than 6 months. In fact I have had to replace two of the conventional bulbs since it was put in use. I am thinking of giving the Led another chance.

I have Led bulbs in four recessed fixtures that have performed flawlessly for a number of years. With conventional bulbs I was getting about a year from them. I replaced a three way with Led and it has out lasted any three way we ever tried. But it is interesting, most 3 ways go low middle high (30, 70, 100 watts). But the Led goes low high middle.

Flicker free and warm white, perfect replacement for conventional 3 way.
