The only thing I have left to do is make a video. This "little" project started last Christmas when I took the famiy out for a drive to look at lights in our area and we came upon a house with a "tune to" sign in the front yard.
After watching that show for a few minutes my wife turns to me and says "You're and engineer, you should be able to do that with our yard next year."
To which I responded, "Yeah, I can do that."
In retrospect, what I should have said was "You're a lawyer, you should be able to buy me a BMW."
Anyway, for my first year I built 2 SS8s and 1 SS24, built 12 window frames, sequenced 1 song, and tonight with help from my father inlaw I finished my own "tune to" sign.
Last week when we were hanging the icicle lights my father inlaw asked me if I was making notes of all my mistakes, so I would not make them again next year. I looked at him and said "Well my first mistake was taking your daughter to look at Christmas lights last year." He had a good laugh at that one.
So, whats up for next year? I have already decided that I need to get an upgrade for the Belkin tunecast. Since I orignally purchased it for it's intended purpose, I don't want to mod it.
My wife wants to make an igloo and snow scene for our penguin decorations an possibly a mega tree and/or some plywood cutouts.
What have I gotten myself into?
