Setup - Day 5

Today was very productive, we got all the rope lighting installed on the roofs (300 feet total) and power cords wired to the ground and tested. We tested all the net lighting (38 Nets), found 15 that needed replacing due to fading or just bad beyond repair. We did get several nets installed on the bushes today, we went shopping for new net lights, OUCH! $8-$15.00 each, I think I will have to shop around a little more or wait till the Black Friday sales and install the balance then.

We found 6 tomato cages in the backyard and decided to try our hand with a mini light tree, came out OK (300 lights) , we'll see if we have enough lights to complete the other 5.

Went through the controller calculator and updated information to actual installed light, so far we are OK with our loads.

Got all the front bushes hedged and trimmed, these bushes get trimmed more than I get hair cuts each year, what ever I am doing, they sure do like it.

Nate lost their first game in the tournament (USSSA Baseball), they had the other team on the ropes into the 7th by 4 runs, then they gave up 8, ouch!, maybe the coaching is a little slow to react to their mistakes? I will be driving down to Huntington Beach tomorrow to see him play in a double header, hopping they do a little better.
