Bill's 2009 Adventure

29 December 2008

I see that the original journey has over 11,000 views. I had fun taking all the pics and posting comments as I went so I have decided to try again. That is unless this thread should get vaporized by the mighty forum gods.

So here is to another year of posts that may be useful, funny, sad, dumb, misspelled, shocking...etc..

Looking forward to the CDI LED group buy.  One of my plans include doing another 6 foot tree just like I had this year only do the second one using LED's.  One tree will be in the same spot as 2008 and still be made of normal Mini's and the new tree will have the same setup but will be on the other side of the yard and be made of LED's.

Hey Bill not sure but its not 2009 yet LOL  Yes it begins before it ends went out today to get more items to add to the yard that we think will enhance the look. I am on the fence about the CDI Led's I never have got them but this years seems to have been a disaster for many. I have read so so many posts I get Paul is a great guy but I just am not sure its worth it or not. Glad you are going to do another show and share your trial with the rest of us.

Nothing says the start of a new display than the arrival of a box of Mouser parts.

Nice Bill!

I guess you'll be able to just cut the reel every 32 mark?  That should help with sorting.
