Yep number 1 is false, I don't have a tulamp ballast or any of those 34w tubes. :P

I guess number 3 is false for you?

I have a LED ped module with a fried driver.
I also have a 12" green and amber LED module.
All my traffic lights are incandescent though.

Yeah #3 for me was false. Stanley automatic door decals are the most common here. Horton Automatics decals are the least common here. I have four of the latter being shipped to me sometime this week too. ;D I'm in the process of getting some Stanley decals and i haven't heard from Besam or NABCO/Gyro-Tech yet though. It is a holiday in the US today though so i was actually surprised to hear from any of the four today.

1. Horton automatics decals are the ones that say "AUTOMATIC DOOR KEEP MOVING" on them.
2. The yellow "AUTOMATIC CAUTION DOOR" tags are used basically by all automatic door companies. (In a way it's like how all light manufacturers use the same refractor footprint for small cobraheads)
3. My brother was born in November.

WRONG!!! FOOLED YA! ;D
No, I actually have yet to run an excavator (though that will eventually change)
The sun is just rising now and it's beautiful
There's an (albeit quite slim) chance that the old friend's house I'm getting my vintage shoplight from will be demolished when I'm around to watch (that is if they don't tear it down by hand) (and maybe that's when I'll learn to run an excavator)
I am getting a 75w slimline fixture this weekend

Not sure, hope if number 1 was true you weren't late for work or school or something...
Why are we forgetting to guess? This time you didn't guess mine...
Anyway...
I LOVE concrete buildings (like I said yesterday on LG) over modern groovy glass and stainless steel ones.
I'm not planning to meet up with the friend who has three excavators and maybe I'll end up running one...
I got a vintage 15w Sylvania bulb today.
