-- 12:10a  Bed
--   8:35a  Up
--   9:35a  Leaving to bike, then get breakfast @McD:  2 sausage/egg burritos

-- 11:23a  After biking 3+3, left for O'Reilly Auto Parts to get new brake light bulb.
They had 4 on their list, 2 incandescent, 2 LED.  It might be nice to upgrade, but 
I wouldn't want the color to mismatch, so I took the low-end bulbs.

~~  I took off 2 bolts with phillips heads, but the assembly wouldn't budge and I was afraid
to break it.  Two employees came out, but neither knew what to do, so I put the bolts back on.

~~  I had looked for youtube video but they all seemed to be either for different years
or it wasn't the "GT" model, and the videos didn't match my car at all.

-- 12:34p  Inside after biking 4 mi

--   1:25p  After additional research went to garage to attempt to change brake light bulb.
After removing the bolts, I had to push or pull the assembly back but there's nothing to
grab onto.  I used the suction cup on device that I can use to attach phone to windshield
but it didn't help much.  I put masking tape on a flat screwdriver and also used 
an old credit card to attempt to pry it.  Eventually, it came loose.

~~  Asked a neighbor to verify that the light came on before I reassembled it.
Surprisingly, getting the assembly back on was easy;  Also talked to neighbor about other stuff.
