DWB Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Thought I had already posted this, but guess not. Since we don't have hemrhoids (my nickname for kids) we become the "go to" place for our friends to dog sit their critters during the holidays. I usually move into a neighbor's house while they drive to upstate NY, and take care of their dogs and cat from hell. The wife dog sits our dog, plus 1-2 others from friends while they are out of town too. Dogs and Christmas trees don't get along well, especially with other dogs in the house staking out their "territory" if you know what I mean. Kind of been the tradition for us for several years. So no decorations for us. ( Thank you Lord !! ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaybobHoosier Posted November 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Don’t know if my video will work, but this is what I have after a few more days of decorating. Should be finished by Wednesday so that’s it’s up and running Friday night. I have 6 smaller inflatables not up in this video, and have a small Merry Christmas sign that I need to hang above the garage door.

JaybobHoosier Posted November 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Can’t get the video to play above, so I uploaded it to YouTube. You may need to turn your brightness up, felt like it uploaded darker on YouTube than my actual video shows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Orchestra of Lights that you get at Lowe’s. It’s easy to use, it has 6 plugins on the box, so you just plug whatever you want to sync it to. It has its own speaker so that’s how the music plays. I have a wireless hub that I can syncs to my phone to play music, but I’ve had issues getting that to connect. However, the box is great and makes me look like I know what I’m doing lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I’m very honest with my neighbors to come tell me if there’s any issues. No complaints and everyone seems to love it.

Thanks and definitely have people driving by to come see it already. Felt bad because some tried stopping by last night and of course had electrical issues (shocked, I know). Going to get some extra juice and get them going again in the next couple of days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the story is true, I’m just messing with you. Awesome job. I remember we had a plant in South Carolina. My friend took me when I was there to visit to one of those neighborhoods. The most awesome part was when we came over the ridge, you could see the whole neighborhood glowing below!

I remember a couple of my electrical engineer frat brothers built an FM radio transmitter on a 2*2” circuit board. This was early 70’s, we would drive around the block to listen to their playlist! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at this time. I would prefer to go with FM, but I don’t have the capability to do so. I may look at getting one in the near future.
