My company signed a contract with a local city and we will have 140-16 channel boards for the display and I have always enjoyed soldering the boards myself. we have 100 kits that need to be assembled so Im paying my co-workers from my "real" job(we are slot technicians at a local casino) to help assemble all of these boards and we kind of made a party of it last night on the back portch of my house...

we had three soldering stations set up, oout of view was my other co-worker to the right and my spot was to the left..

Now THAT is the way to spend a weekend!

And yes, those of you who agree...we probably do need some serious help..:shock:

I spent the weekend helping a co-worker clean up from flooding last week, he had 8 feet on his first floor. After smelling river mud, fuel oil, sewage all weekend wasn't in the mood to do much more, hopefully get back on tract this weekend.

Splicing SPT-2, making extension cords and hooking up the cords to controller boards till my hands hurt. I've been taking a 9' spt-2 extension cord I got from Target for $.30 and turning it into a male card, and 3 female cords for the controllers. Vampire plugs are so handy and easy to use.

Dropped off 200 lbs of custom steel lighting fixtures (props) to be powder coated. Seven foot starbursts, 10 foot ring trees and ten steel hoops for CCRs. Still welding three Christmas tree ball props made from sixteen 4 inch drink balls picked up from WalMart and stuffed with 20w lights.

I've been working on my Candy Cane pinwheel. Got the steel frame welded and painted.

I started to attach the candy canes when the steel frame slipped off my workbench (had it vertical) and it fell. Natural reaction was to reach my hand out and grab it. Well, the 6x6 steel plate in the middle came down right on the side of my left index finger and took a rather large chunk of flesh out. A few bandages later...

I have a star I'm going to mount to the center to cover up the middle.

Don, nice job on the living room. Were you thinking of concealing a couple CCR's along the ceiling and got shot down by the wife?! I know I would have tried. :)

Dan, Great job on the pinwheel, looks a lot better than using fencing material.

I'm in the process of enlarging a couple flowerbeds. One is a ground bed and the other is a raised bed that has a white led rope light in it. Very disappointed with the rope light, only lasted about a year+, only one section still works. When I redo it, I'll install my homemade RGBW tubes to match my other beds. This bed won't be lit up for this years show though.
