After the glitches were fixed last night, things ran pretty smoothly. Then there was tonight! If it could go wrong, it did tonight! Earlier in the day I hung the Merry Christmas sign on the rock wall, finally, and apparently in doing so I broke a light or something so I lost part of the “R” in Christmas. With the help of my wife, we got that fixed pretty easily. I am still having power leak issues on controllers 4 & 8, with random light strings staying lit when they should be off. Gonna try to reflash the firmware tomorrow and see if that fixes it. I also noticed that last Thursday night the laptop I am running this show off of shut off. I know that it has an issue of getting too hot, but since I have it in the garage, where its been getting down to the low 30’s at night, I figured it would be cool enough… I guess I figured wrong. Not really sure if that’s why it did it or not, but it did it again tonight so I am gonna replace it with an old desk top unit I got and see how that goes.

Here’s to hoping for the best 🙂
