SNIP

I'd rather go around and make it look like I was changing the bulbs and but
about .25oz of C4 in each one. Then come evening and BANG their all gone.


If these lights were all on the same timer circuit, it would be

terrible if one of the fixtures developed a short circuit, let's say
from a light bulb with a defective base, or from a tiny piece of stray
metal in the socket. The circuit breaker might trip when the lights
came on and someone would have to go around and individually check
each fixture. What a chore that would be!

There are 10 total lights, within the center section there's 6 of them on two
photocells that are up on two buildings. I do know where the main switchs are
and could just flip them.

But I'm just going to try to get "The Beast" running again next month and then
I'll be able to not only go up to my corner, but one some nights go up to my
viewing spot that's all alone and away from people.
