Humboldt Lodge No. 79 – 3/24/2024 update

Hello Brethren,

I just wanted to post a quick update on the letter C, suspended in the east (yes, we had a letter C for a while). I met with Brother Biesen this morning and together we replaced all six lights in the lamp with new LED bulbs. Hopefully we won’t have to replace them again for a very long time.

A couple of things to note about the G lamp. First, there is a single flathead screw on the back left side that holds the entire back piece in place. There is no hinge. Once that screw is removed, the entire back panel pulls off. Secondly, I was zapped twice when replacing the top dead center bulb. After replacing the back piece, I was able to touch the outer metal case without issue, but I think as some point the lamp will need to come down and be rebuilt so as not to zap any one else.

I’d like to thank Brother Biesen for helping out this morning. We’re all ready to go for Brother Toland’s 2nd degree on Thursday.

Respectfully,

Dan Sarver
