You just got to love your older children

My kids (all 40+) want to know what to do with all this "stuff" when I am gone and since next year that first digit changes to a 7 sometimes I wonder about that also.

We can only do what we enjoy, not our kids. If we did that then ( I would be watching mtv) it would be boring to me. Its my hobby and I have fun doing it. So if you are 46 like me or 69 enjoy. Im a kid in a candy store when I fire the lights up.

Do you have any grandchildren that have potential, um, light obsession?
This all started for me when I was a teen. Just a thought.

if I built everything I had parts for, that'd say 396 channels

I am sure you will have plenty of volunteers here to carry on the legend if you kids or grandkids don't want to.  What a morbid subject.

My oldest son (22) has never really been into my Christmas lights or BBQ hobbies, but my youngest (17) has always been involved.  He has been a big help over the years, especially since he hit the 6' tall mark (now 6' 3").  I will sure miss his help for the next four years while he is away at college.  I will have to redo my 16 foot tall "mega-tree" since I currently raise it Iwo Jima style with the help of my son and one of his friends.  I guess I better start working out and get in better shape.       

As far as being a fan of the light show, I don't think he really believes the show is worth all the work.  My biggest fans are the elderly ladies of the town.

I finally built a Monkman JUMP pole, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  Best thing I have ever done.  Took a little work, but solid as a rock and no guy wires to the top.
