    My wife, and main whip cracker in our annual light display insanity, herniated a disc, so I'm hoping I get to back off a bit on the lights this year.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    The LOR fired up from it's 11 month hiatus. First test... found 3 controllers, not 8!

    With a quick cable replacement, all eight discovered. Whoever put the crossover cable in with the regular cables should be shot... wait, that would be me.

    Still a lot of work to do. I pick up a trailer-based man-lift on Wednesday to do the high work.

    Although I do really enjoy, and look forward to the holidays--I absolutely hate hanging the lights. It's like painting to me (I HATE to paint). Once the lights are up--I like it, it's just getting there that is hard.
