Also picked up a blue spotlight for the graveyard
Time to start putting more stuff out & setting up for tonight

TV/DVD is setup, need to wait until it is darker to test it
3 foggers in place ready to go, 4th is being setup
5th fogger I may have hid too well!!!
Spotlights all set
Almost ready to start stuff up
Rapper is fixed - speaker came loose - resoldered

I bought a 4' black light bulb
Now I need to take down the laundry room fixture to put it on the porch for tonite. 2' fixture & bulb was $10, 4' bulb was $12

Everything is up that is going up
I didn't get to the 4' black lite - I'll rewire that for next year
Some younger kids wouldn't come to the door, they don't like the rapper skeleton. Foggers are all running, 2 really kick ass
I think I have some bad fog juice

Only 8 kids so far

It is 30 here and just saw a little Tarzan crossing the street. Poor little guy.

His sister was a big M&M and hopefully her costume was stuffed with long johns.

I got class tonight so just have to hide for 45 minutes or else give out dog treats or hot pockets.

Close to 3 dozen kids, & lots of parenst walking up & down the street to see the decorations. Still over 50 here, not supposed to get much colder.
Then back up to 60 tomorrow
I've filled the 1200w constant foggers 3x so far
One died - it ran empty - have to see if I can fix it
The 400w cycles on & off - still on the same tank of juice
The 600w I trigger from inside as they start to walk up the driveway
The smaller kids usually retreat, some kids scream - more at the hissing noise from the bushes then the actual fog

I turn the porch lights on for the smaller kids
I think I prefer the 400w that cycles on & off
The 1200w are nice, but thirsty. I have them in barrels with green spotlights in the barrel pointing out

I just video taped the setup
I used the camera batteries for the props
I'll have to take pics tomorrow or later tonite

Just shut down the (3) 1200w foggers
The 400w is still going
The 600w is ready to go if anyone comes to the door
But I think it's been 1/2 hour since anyone came by

School night, I have 2 orange bins ready to put the more expensive itmes in. The rest will wait until tomorrow night and the weekend
