Christmas Lights!!

Was stringing up the Christmas lights the last week or so. Use a stepladder (red arrow) and a 20 foot stick to drape the lights onto the trees. This year the trees are larger so I couldn't get the lights up where I wanted them. Solution: climb the tree and use the stick to pull the lights up. It's rather cool -- I can see the back yard!

The lights are on their own 30 amp breaker, thru a 40 amp commercial timer. Each tree has nine sets of 25 C9 lamps -- 225 lamps per tree, 450 lamps total, 7 watts each. 3,150 watts, not counting the two deer.

Used a tripod, no flash:
