I have 147 strings of unopened Christmas lights in my attic. They are the crystal ball ones from Home Depot. I wonder how highI can get the electric bill this year :p

Text It's really easy to do, just find the red 5v wire in the usb cable and you're done... the ultimate in holiday geekiness

I've seen a few houses with them up already.
I'd have put them up already but it's been too dark when i get home from work. I'll have to do it either this weekend or next. :)

Hmmm.... My stash for this year. No comment other than that :p

Perhaps "Evad's Seasonal Lighting Services" will be quite profitable.

If you can guess how much I paid within say.... 30% I will ship ya a box :) I will give ya a hint: I bought them in January.

11.97 IIRC. May have been 7.77 since that is what they are this year at the same store. I am heavily leaning towards the first since it was this particular companies first foray into selling Christmas Lights.

Allright.

PAB shall make an assessment a la Johnny Carson's "Amazing Kreskin" bit.

*Holds HD Flyer to head while wearing a makeshift turban comprised of a UPS Next Day Air letter envelope, old casio wristwatch as a bezel, and a hell of a lot of tape*

The answer is $5.39.

LMAO!

I'm sorry, thanks for playing. The correct answer is 57 cents. Would you like to buy some for the ultra low PAB price of $5.39?

I actually bought them thinking I would be able to resell them ,but I basicly forgot this year. I would put them in FS/FT but I did buy them for resale, and that is not allowed. Oh well.

Oh, I'm sorry. In keeping with carson tradtion, I still have to reveal that the question was:

"How much Evad's mom charges every 10 minutes."

:p

amdskip was the closest, he PM'ed me with a guess that was only 16% off. And he was under too, so in "Price is right" rules, he wins :p

Oh, and for the record, the pet doors in the red boxes on top of them were originaly going for $48. I got them for a cent each. Same goes for the Predo patio door handles that were $88, ( you can only see part of one ) and the Pella Window mull kits that were $11.

Skip is in IL, so he's close enough to pick them up.

Seriously. You have a truck. Get a ladder and a staplegun and bill out at $20 an hour!
