Default Weird brake lights

I have an intermittent problem with the lr brakelights. Somedays they work and some day they don't. Blinker works fine,driving lights work fine.About a month ago, I noticed they were not working. When the wife got home they were working. Today she says someone told her the lr brakelights weren't working again. I go outside to check and they are working. A week ago I looked at it, thinking I might see a loose ground or something and I didn't see anything. So I undid the ground wire where it attaches to the body,roughed up the area and reattached and of course it was working still. I told the wife until they won't work again , all I can do is educated guess, Any ideas?

Okay, the left brakelight. Does sound like an intermittent ground issue. Is the bulb in the socket, too?
