Black Friday morning. Anyone out and about spending money?

My Christmas shopping has been done for over a week. I did order some BRCC this morning and a couple pair of jeans from BP

Splurged this morning and stopped for coffee on my way to Kouts to help set steel for my brothers new pole barn. Did pick up a SW22 Victory range kit to teach the daughter with.

Not surprising to me. Roncalli put it to pretty much everyone this year.

All my lights already have the clips left on them. Hopefully, all the lights still work so I can just climb, clip, clip, clip.

My neighbor (1st year and figuring it out) started an hour before me, and I was done 30 minutes before him. His icicle lights are uber light and thin (modern lighting). Problem is, they keep blowing on the roof even in this nothing breeze. I recommended different lights or hang washers at the end of each one. He's going to be a while.

Gutters finished... red last night, white this morning. First time for that. I also got a bunch of smart plugs... holy snikies... the 8 sets on the gutters - incandescent - are pulling over 400 watts. The tree has led's 6 sets and pulls 20... but this will be the last year for the old school lights as i only have the minimum left to do the gutters and not much else. I think i tossed 6 sets yesterday and hundreds of spare bulbs from sets over the years...

My light show was only at 65 watts last time I measured it.
I'm sure it's still under 100 watts.
But that's because individually, the lights are mostly off, only flash on for brief moments.
I'm probably going to create a temporary show, that has all the lights on, for me to do some troubleshooting.
Maybe I should get a measurement then.

No decorations here except a wreath on the garage and on the front door. Just not feeling it. Some years I'm up to it and other years I'm not.

Yups! Jedi is in that boat this year as well.
Typically on Thanksgiving day jedi wraps all the xmass gift and plays xmass songs. This year that did not happen. Thinking of just giving people their amazon/walmart/store box and that is it. No desire to wrap anything. No desire to hear the xmass songs either.

Dollar Tree gift bags help that situation. Couple of packages of white tissue and you're set. They even have really big bags for $1.

That's because you don't have a Christmas pig on the roof. My mean wife makes me help put up the decorations while watching Hallmark Christmas movies since July and can't figure while I ask if there isn't something else on the TV.
