The Addiction

[Rainlover]

In the beginning, I thought that I would be a good newbie and start small with 32 channels, so I ordered 2 LEs on the first coop. After I started laying out my yard and doing some reading and sequencing, I thought it would be better to have 64 channels so I ordered 2 more LEs on the 2nd coop. Now my LE pusher says there is going to be another coop. I need to figure out where I am going to put the next 32 channels. I need more lights. I need some arches. I need some strobes. I am so addicted. Is there a 12 step program for blinky flashy?

No 12 step. This is my first year and I'm aiming for 84 channels - ann that's with only white bulbs. Plan to add some color next year, but that could quadruple the channel count... and lets not talk about aether too much. I might start drooling and short out my laptop.

Actually there is a 12 step program. If you ordered 2 LE's in the first coop, and 2 in this coop, it sounds like you may be ready for step three...

And remember the Dongle, wireless, freestyle and aether steps!  if all goes as planed we may also see the conductor.  You may want to think about a equity line of credit... heheh

Oh no... this is a LYNX EXPRESS 12 step program. Each of those things have their own program, and they will NOT be taking steps away from the Express!

I told myself I would only add 4 Expresses this year. 

So far I have ordered 48 strings of LED minis, 4 Expresses and I am building a motorized carosel for my LED train (a train should move).
I am also thinking of adding 4 wireless modules, 1 conductor and maybe even 1 MR16 unit. 
This hobby is VERY addictive.

How are you setting up your slip ring assembly?

I don't think we will have to worry about joining a 12 step program. I heard my wife saying something about an intervention the other day, and starting the WABFA Fondation (Wife's against Blinky-Flashy addictions).


Thanks again for the Hard work RJ & JJ.

Hey Tim,

My wife wants to know if your wife is starting WABFA on facebook?

So all of the wife's can get together and talk about "our" problem

My wife wants to join.  If it can be set up before the divorce.

My mini trees and my small mega tree are set up in my garage. I run sequences almost every night just to prove to myself that I really did it. I have to park my truck in the driveway. I called all of my friends and asked all of my co-workers and neighbors to give me their extra Christmas lights. I check Craigs list and ebay every day for sales on LEDs. I spend an hour every night working on my Vixen sequences.  I topped some of the trees in my yard so I could put lights on them without renting a man lift. I cheated on my taxes to get a bigger return to buy more stuff.
My name is John. I am a blinky/flashy addict.
 

If my wife would get a 2nd job, I could afford more blinky flashy.
Maybe I can sell some plasma.

This sounds like a cool thread 

We should have a separate topic for "The Addiction"

My wife says at least I'm not out cheating or drinking. I have one that leaves me do blinky, why would I want to change. And, I have a hard enough time seeing the holes now, I can't even begin to imagine trying to solder while boozed up.
