With a tear in my eye..... And a chocolate bacon covered donut and foot long corn dog in my hands... I proudly announce that I finished the last sequence Children of the Sun!!! :D

 

 

With 22 days to spare before build up! Whew!!!!

 

 

Yes... I know the OCD in me will be going back over the sequences tweaking them but for the most part I am done!

 

 

27 LOR Channels and 340 DMX channels just about whooped my @$$ this year!

 

It took me a long time to complete 6 sequences this year. Just about wore my eyes out!

 

Now on to my short list of things to do to get ready!

 

 

I need a hug! :P

Frankie and the Nebulons practicing their songs for the quickly approaching Halloween light display!

I finished building my singing Alien frame today and put 33 strands of lights on it for the three faces.

The jury is not out yet on the Lime Green LED lights on the Alien in the middle. They pale in comparison to the blue LEDs.

It is getting close now to build up! Cannot wait!

I have been at it for three solid days trying to get things wired up. Then yesterday... Rain... all friggin day!

 

I had to run around tarping everything.

 

We have not had rain like that in quite awhile. Did not see that coming.

 

Hopefully today I can finish getting everything wired up and hopefully everything will work.

The bugs in my lighting and power supplies... Fixed... (I hope)

 

The weather is cool and the air is thick... Should make for the fog to hold well tonight.

I am ready to get this done and sit down and have a beer!

We really do need the rain.... but not on my time! :lol:

 

It just delayed things for me. I usually have everything done and video taped by this time. The heavy rain real slowed me down this year.

 

Ready to get the show going! B)

I tried these this year in all the empty 110 volt plug openings, so far with the rains we have had  I have had zero GFI trips..Mommy's Helper Outlet Plugs

Do a google search for them, I got from amazon.

It was not that kind of problems with power..

 

I had one controller that I did not have a big enough power supply to drive the lights and that was my biggest problem, but now solved.

 

When it rains that hard, I don't even turn on the lights. I tarp the props and go inside and drink coffee.

 

We have one more possible night of rain on Friday and after that, they are saying nothing but sunshine and cool nights.
