In the spirit of the post text, it's up to someone else to answer the question.

ps
Have you posted your question in the correct thread??

[Wildman]

I changed a light bulb once.

[Nigel Marx]

I've heard that BMW make the best light bulbs. Is that true? (c;

Does "light bulb" lose anything in the translation to Spanish? ref: Chevrolet Nova in Spanish.

You stick it in the ground in October and in March little flowers come up.

Now globular festoons may sound like something best treated with penecillin but will actually let you read after dark

It's way past time for an argument on this post, so here goes;
What type of oil should you use with this light bulb?

[xfiltrate]

Although the coconut is not actually pear shaped, but similar, as may be considered by some, the stem of the light bulb, in fact, should be lightly oiled with the oil of the coconut from the semi round shell of the coconut. Thus, the obvious choice of oil when changing a light bulb, would be coconut oil.

The coconut oil should come from a co-opertive producing same and not from corporate oil companies as by purchasing coconut oil from local co-ops one assists the region from which the coconut oil was produced.

Move over Dulles brothers who prior to becoming Secretary of State and Director CIA USA worked for a law firm representing the exploitive United Fruit company that stole banana and other fruit profits from Central American republics for years.

How's that Tourider? Someone is surly going to find something to disagree with, or agree with. Remeber, let's keep this thread relevant, on topic and with a minimum of politics, economics, or anything else that might bring some shade of reason or meaning.

xfiltrate eat, drink and oil your lightbulbs with coconut oil.

Has anyone decoded my first post this thread?

[Tourider]

Will the use of coconut oil as opposed to the genuine manufacturers oil affect my warranty?
Oh, and it's Surely.

I am delighted to report that Larrysimpson, (recent hubber on this thread) a very interesting Canadian, has been at our ranch for the last few nights.

Today he visited the Grand Canyon and upon his return we fed him a home cooked meal and wine at our world class Spy Bar. The Spy Bar is the bar at our ranch and lit by indirect lighting and candles. NO luz mal was present this evening.

Larry continues his journey by BMW 700 (2015) From Halifax to Phoenix and next year will board the Stahlratte, yes that famous sailboat that does Panama to Colombia, for a three day crossing from Isla Mujeras , Mexico to Cuba and then back to Mexico after in three weeks in Cuba.

Larry is a writer/journalist who has ridden Africa and South America too and more, much more...

Cool guy.

And breaking news for all you looking for a mate to ride.... with? Elisa has found another young professor - woman who rides her own moto and it is just too bad more of you have not taken us up on our hospitality ... and the possibility of meeting her.... we are finishing up chores - including changing light bulbs - with coconut oil, of course, and doing our final check list for we will be spending this winter on the west coast of Mexico.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...The San Francisco peaks had snow this morning , weather here below the peaks at 7,000 ft is superb... the peaks are about 12,000 ft. no luz mal reported...

xfiltrate eat , drink and do yourself a favor and get to know larrysimpson... and if you are planning on visiting do it now....

Well I arrived in FLagstaff and sure enough xfliltrate met me at the little cowboy-theme cafe on his KLR. We had a bite then headed off to the ranch. This is no ordinary ranch, rustic but charming and heaps of soul. Picture LED lighting in the shower and can, and in the Spy Bar (with a cello wrapped whole salmon on the wall) and around the sound equipment with musical instruments at the end, just left to where I was instructed to park my bike.
See if you can codger an invite out of Xfiltrate but I warn you, he is well-read and well-traveled, as is his charming SPanish wife, and no fools are suffered there.
This luz mal intellect/wingnut is a well versed in history, sociology, poetry, and international travel. He is fluent in SPanish so has some choice when he is talking to his wife. And if you are lucky you will buy some very reasonably-price jewelry from his creative wife, Ms. Xfiltrate.
If you spend some time at the ranch you will be recharged and have new friends for a lifetime.

No this is not a review for Air BnB, but a real-life illumination on pure souls met along the way. Is this on thread? Who cares, this is just one drunk who recently vacated the infamous Spy Bar passing on some highlights of his last week to other Hubber drunks.

Larry, of the luz magnifique

We were also recipients of Ed and Elisa's generosity when we passed through Flagstaff in Sept and I agree entirely with what you've written. Ed's background and life experience is visible throughout the ranch and is both impressive and humbling. I won't post up any pictures without permission as privacy is important in these matters but the day we spent with them was one of the highlights of the trip and something we still talk about. A big thank you to both of you.

And now back to the topic in hand. Just remind me, what was it again?
