Troubleshot a strand of LED Christmas lights that had three bad segments out of four. Strangely, each bad segment had a bad blue bulb, where the anode lead of the LED had broken off right at the base of the LED's case. It looked like the lead had corroded, as it was coated with a white powdery substance. Galvanic corrosion perhaps? I had replacements for two of the bulbs. For the third one I stuck a "penny" in it: stuffed in a bit of copper wire to make a short and plugged the socket with an empty bulb. Seems to work fine, but I'll use that strand on the non-flammable cement pagoda in the back yard.
Had to run to the store for some bay leaves for the vat of turkey noodle soup I was making, and hoped to get my second Shingrix shot while I was there. But the pharmacy was out, so I'll have to psych myself up for it again another day. Darn, I thought the shortages were over!
