Something went wrong with last night’s post scheduling, and I didn’t notice until midway through the day today that it hadn’t auto-posted at midnight as my entries usually do. If you missed it, you can just scroll down – so don’t panic. And now, to Tuesday…
You guys know what? I totally got the crank ghost up tonight after work. If you would’ve asked me yesterday I would’ve said it might not happen at all this year. See, my new rig was flawed, was tangling the strings and the thing wouldn’t work. But then, I got all nuts and made it work. I also managed to set up the motion detector and prop timer for sound and animation and lighting. I didn’t, however get it all hooked up or cable-managed. But, good Lord I almost made my self-imposed October 15th deadline for all the old props being up and running. Tomorrow I’ll hook things up and take a video of the coordinated triggering I setup for the popper and dropper so you can see it all in action.
Y’know… I get on to Sharaun a lot for being disorganized, unmotivated, and, at times, downright lazy. I know, what a great husband, right? I like to think of myself as a shining example of organization and motivation, never letting myself falter. Every once in a while though, I’ll step back and realize I’m a fairly lazy procrastinator in my own right. Take for example the pair of tennis shoes outside our front door right now. They’re all dusty and dirty so I stuck them out there to knock together a couple times before bringing back into the shoe rack in our closet. Sounds prudent, right? Yeah, all but for the part where I forgot to mention that I put those shoes out there right after removing them from my feet upon returning from our aborted JMT hike back in the first week of September. So yeah, a month out there on the porch waiting for me to bring them in. That’s pretty bad y’all… pretty bad.
Hey guess what?! I actually posted some new pictures to Keaton’s gallery! Yeah, I’m for real. Now, even though I’m supposedly covering two months time with this update – I only managed to pull together a measly twenty decent pictures. But, I figure it’s better than nothing. You can go check out the new stuff by clicking right here.
Goodnight my friends.
