I just added 600 more

I'll upload mine sometime too (along with the fifth sequence I did).  Typically I run mine exclusive for the first year and then dump them to the public domain for future years.

Just got back in from doing display maintenance for the big night.  All of the lights except for 100 are working now (those 100 are difficult to get to in this weather... I'm not going onto the roof in 35MPH winds for instance).  Yes, it is realllly windy here.  I added additional anchoring to the mega tree base ring since it had pulled up the rebar and was sailing 3 feet off the ground.  The rain hasn't arrived yet, so the we might get a decent turnout... but if the weather turns it might be a weak night.  Let's see if we can beat our previous Christmas eve record of 24 cars at a time.

	I just added 600 more lights and 3 more channels to the display this morning... just for one song! A kid emailed me requesting the Chipmunk song... which gave me an excuse to add 3 "mid trees" (4' high minis) to the display. I'm using W2E on them... one for each chipmunk. I didn't have many lights left in the garage, so I had to do them a bit thin (only 200 on each tree). On another note... I was out in the yard maintaining some stuff last night when a child was yelling from a car "Make the rainbows work! Make the rainbows work!" It took me a while to figure out that she meant the Firefli arches which are only used maybe 5% of the time in the show. I think this makes my light count 41,639 and the channel count 240 now.
