More rain last night and it has the display acting crazy today.  Hopefully everything will be dried out and working this evening, but for now it is OFF.  I’ll update this later today to tell you how it is looking.

We had some issues with the rain last night and the show was not running.  I think we’ve got it all figured out and dried out now, so hopefully we will be running tonight.  Enjoy!

The lights are on for 2011.  Made some changes to the show this year so I’m slowly adding back songs.  I should have 3 running sometime this week.  Please enjoy!

Here are the two presentations I gave at the 2011 Lone Star Holidays Christmas Light Academy.  The first is a presentation on how to put together your own Christmas Light website using WordPress, just like this site uses.  The second is called Junk to Masterpiece and is about ideas for different types of elements you can make for your Christmas light display using common materials you might have in your garage or get from a hardware store.  Shoot me a message on the site through the contact form if you have any questions.  Enjoy.

The lights are on for 2010!  I forget every year how much work it is to get this thing up and working but it is done.  The show will be running each night from 6pm to 11pm, weather permitting.  Please enjoy and post a comment in the guestbook.

Thanks.

I was lucky enough to be asked to teach a class on Soldering at the 2010 Lone Star Holidays Academy.  Attached is a copy of the presentation for those who are interested.  Please feel free to comment or contact me if you need additional information.

Yes, planning for next year has already started and I don’t even have all the lights down yet.  One partial tree left to take down and the roof lights to retrieve are all that I have left though.  Now the garage is a different story, that may take another week to get back in order.

The first Lynx Express controller coop for 2010 has already come and gone.  I’ve ordered an additional 4 controllers, though some of these may go to a friend.

Come on Christmas!

Well, the count is in (so far) and I have more lights than last year. This year we have 36,675 lights blinking to the music for you enjoyment. Maybe next year I can top 50,000!

Well, better late than never.  The lights are on and will be running from 6pm to 11pm each night, weather permitting.  Please stop by and enjoy the show.

I’m slowly making progress on getting the show up and running for 2009.  If it would just stop raining/sleeting/snowing I think I could get it done!

My plan is to definitely have it running by Saturday night, December 12th.  Hopefully I’ll have a few test runs before then.

I’ll update later.
