You can easily make most of us feel stupid on our choices of consumerables.
I hope you don't have a hard time deciding on things like toothpaste and toilet paper.

Started last night. That thing is huge; I need to lower the rotating beacon or it is more than 14' tall and not legal on the highway. It is also about 2.5' wider than the flatbed, so I need "oversize load" signs and magnetic navigation lights all over it.
I had a crew of 2 for most of the evening, and we managed to put up about 6,000 lights and 16 channels in 6 hours. We have another 16 channels and 7,000 lights to do Friday.

Nah... I just buy what I like. Quilted Northern FTW.
I'm not seeing anything of interest on sale to buy this year.

Nah, that's just what I grew up.25 years of research went into that.

It wasn't such a good idea to put them in the front left pocket. Should have put the wallet there instead, like Max told you.My glasses broke.
1Password is half off for thanksgiving AND their checkout accepted some coupon codes I found online. I have been thinking about this for a while and I really need to get my password situation under control, this sale sealed the deal for me.
No, they are one of my home glasses. The metal separated in a weird way at the corner of the frame. I had the frames 8 years and lately they were feeling soft so I went in last week for an exam, etc. The two different kinds of new glasses are not ready yet.

We had better see some picture of this thing and a youtube video of it in action when you're done.

So I ordered the HE-500's in a 10% off black Friday sale early this morning and then decided to check and make sure they were selling the updated HE-500's with the new leather earpads and new more flexible cable. Turns out they weren't and are still clearing out their old stock. So, I cancelled the order. I'll gladly pay 10% more for the new cable + pads. Now to confirm which retailers have the updated models.

On the other hand some people really like overtime and holiday pay.

Also known as Wall-mart customers. Really, just don't do it. You should know better.

I believe it's Walmart, but anywhoo...
I ventured into two of them yesterday after 10am and they weren't very busy. They also still had quite a few of the TV doorbusters. There were a couple of women complaining that they still had the TV that their friends camped out for at another store. Unfortunately for me, the $5 Blu-Rays were much more picked over this year than last. Last year they seemed nearly untouched at like 2pm in the afternoon.

More progress, had to stop with only ~9,000 lights; it was maxing out the 4.8kW generator. I don't think it liked going from nothing to max and back several times a minute.
Got some video on the 7D, now I need to figure out how to make it Youtube-able.

You're lucky I'm too far away from CA to come and smack you upside the head for using the most cliche'd and overused song in the world as the audio track.

But that's your buddy Rush Limbaugh's favorite!

I should have put in a disclaimer; that was not my choice. But I'm sure you knew that. I even presented different options, and was working on putting together an event track for Rodrigo y Gabriella's Viking Man. Next year I'll be doing a 30,000 sqft. building with 40,000+ lights across 32+ lighting channels. Then I'll stand on principal.

Well, that's right up there with something you overheard at Walmart in terms of trustworthiness / reliability.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but the music DDrueding used is Tran-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter, not anything from Mannheim Steamroller. But, I do appreciate all your insulting & ignorant comments that make you look like a complete jackass though.
