Still have turkey in the digestive tract, already hanging up Christmas lights... I don't like decorations, but I love my wife deeply, so I try to please her. Pics when we're done in a few days/weeks.

And just know I was thinking about my DTR family when I was doing this... (it's an inside joke... you'd have to have known me on here for a while...)

Sparky is right! Frikin lights, the OL said they all worked, I've been chasing down bad lights for a few hours. Knee is ok, but I think I strained my back orface... the ladder started sliding, I almost jumped...

The oldest just turned 11 today... *gasp* I have an 11 year old...

Good thing you're packin' in case one of those neighborhood punks tries to jack your lights!

(I'm just jealous your state gives you rights).

My wife puts all the lights up, she likes to do it by herself. The only thing I did was put hooks up where she needed them and ran a muli-gang power outlet so she can plug and play. other than that I drink beer while she puts up the lights.


having some Coors lights right now as a matter of fact.

I have another couple of neighbors that carry... not a cool thing for someone that wants trouble.

One night, something knocked over the trash can into my can can... me and my buddy next door both came out with the pistols drawn, wives inside with the phones and the shotguns....

Must be nice. That's ok, she's worth me dying early from a stress induced heard attack/brain aneurysm.

Stay safe and watch out for screws on the ground!!

I'll be doing the lights tomorrow here. I enjoy putting them up. Kind of a Clark Griswold thing here, but taking them down is much better for some reason.

Try and record your X-mass exploits. Remember, if you fall off the ladder you need to give the famous evil laugh on the way down.

That's funny. See, I had shoes on... I hate putting them up, but love taking them down!

That would be terrible, yet funny. I'm trying to think how high off the ladder I could fall off of and not die...

Ok, gonna get back at it today. I gave up yesterday afternoon after I almost lost the ladder on the way down....

I survived 2 stories once upon a time......

At least you aren't putting them up when it's below 0*..... I get to do mine when I get off this week and the weather is headed into the negatives...... Guess I should have done it when the t-shirt weather was around all last week......
