For the last 3 years the Christmas decorating at my house has slowly increased. As our family gets bigger, the kids get older, I want to do more. So I usually have been buying one or two strings of lights each year, decorate something new, add this or that, etc. Here leads to my dilemma... I so far have bought all my lights from one manufacturer (Holiday Time) they have a huge variety of lights (Twinkle effect, icicle, flashing, steady, etc.). So now I have say 10 strands of lights and some of the bulbs need to be replaced. I decide I will cannibalize one strand to fix all the other 9, but a problem! NO TWO STRANDS I OWN USE THE SAME BULB!!! All of the lights are the same size, amp, watt, whatever (the only difference being the red-tipped ones are flashing bulbs) and all have different bases! I even bought two strands exactly the same except for one was blue and the other was white and they have different bases too! So now I have to A. Throw away a bad strand and buy a new strand (wasteful)
or
B. Buy 10 different kinds of spare bulbs to keep the strands I have working Whats the deal?? Is this just another way wrestle me out of my dollar?? Why cant all bulbs of the same specs have the same base?? Maybe from now on I will buy the bigger style Christmas lights with the screw-in bulbs. Thanks for letting me vent. I now have to try to figure out what to do with all these mismatched, non-working strands. Dave

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
