Well that's a project done
I got tired of stubbing my toes in the bedroom at night. I took a $2 amber marker light wired it to the proper adpater and plugged it into a wall outlet and fastened to the head board. I had all the parts on hand so it did not cost anything. If I had to buy the parts I fgured it would have costed $5. The 120V to 12V adpater was something I cannabalised out of an old digital alarm clock. Its a lesser known fact the computers digital clocks and the like all run on low voltage making adapter reqired. If you were to tear apart your computer you would find that y6our hard drive and all the interal hardwae run on 12VDC. Anyway that's another project done.

Old Rust Bucket, for a 20 year old, you have all the virtues of a veteran Swamp Yankee like myself of 63 years. Most Swamp Yankees are from the New England area but you definetely qualify for a social membership. Our origional ancestors came over on the Mayflower to Plymouth, Massachusetts from England. The stigma that most of us live with is that we haven't made any money since, nor spent any money since. If you ever met a Swamp Yankee, you would know what I mean. They rely on themselves.
