captainron19 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Not only does my wife tolerate my Christmas Light Madness but she also got me this nice early Christmas Present!Very fitting especially since I had a true "Clark" moment when I hung the lights on my roof.... I added stars to my garage roof which is a very steep angle so the guys from my fire station came to help me .... We threw a rope over the peak into the back yard in order to secure it to something with the plan of using the rope as a guide when going up and down the peak on the front of the house.We put a metal carabiner on the end of the rope and threw it over the peak..... well it turned into a pendulum and BAM! right through the kitchen window on the back of the house. I called my wife at work at told her what we did and after she finished laughing hysterically all she could say is "you are truly a Clark Griswold" and tonight my shirt arrived that she ordered for me!
