@CodyBot do you know if there will be 1$ frags? The banner doesn't say so but the rules do. Tck always has done insane 1$ but I know they were taken advantage of and not offered last time

So update. Looks like he installed a camera as well that points at my windows on that side of the house. I put one over there too but made sure to aim it at the street/my house so that I'm not shooting at his windows. Also, he moved his stupid potted plants back over the property line. Looks like I'm putting up the cheesy gardening fences along the line so he can't access his back yard with the potted plant in the way, and will have to move it. It's getting exciting!
That just sounds obnoxious...will a green laser fry the camera? I looked into them for street light sensors a few years ago for my astrophotography. I swear I never did it!! But the light did mysteriously die for 2 years.

Congrats @Mooses, you tore it up! I missed the last two posts due to the whole "working" thing. dang.

Trivia Night tonight too, @CodyBot, so I might just need to get into your games tomorrow or Friday if you're still doing 'em. Pretty cool thing you guys got going here, though!

I just read about someone having this issue recently, and the comments were to use an infrared emitter. Human eyes can't see it but it will jam up the camera. It will probably make mine ineffective though. Maybe I'll set it up on a timer to randomly turn on and off so he thinks the camera is broken haha

Nice! I love trivia! I'm sure I'll play that at some point during the sale, but not today.

Put a few drops of Roundup in the pots! Probably solved lol

My girlfriend and I go with one friend so usually fight for second to last place since we are such a small team! Still fun and the place we go has good food and great beer so that's all that really matters. :grinning-face-with-sweat:

If anyone has a suggestion for our team name this week, let me know. We do a new name every week, haha.

A year ago he put a different large potted tree "on the property line", meaning he positioned the base of the pot directly on what he considered the line. However, as you know, pots, plants, and trees don't go straight up. Technically anything over the line is my responsibility. All of that is silly now, considering that I found where the line actually is, and his old plant was a good 8" on my side. It's unfortunate that due to extreme heat and drought last year (I believe it was last year), the tree tragically died.

On an unrelated subject, I believe a half a gallon of Roundup concentrate mixed with a half gallon of muriatic acid will probably do the trick as well :)

Ypu just need to keep several costumes in the car and walk inside wearing wearing a different one all the time so his camera sees it.

I always like the names where the host sounds stupid reading them. There's plenty of dirty options....

SO the only reason I have to go on that side is to mow or check the breaker box. It's completely out of my way to get inside. However, there are lot's of fun things to think up that I can do. Let's go the horror route. Faces staring at the camera, spooky stuff, etc. Brain storm session, guys!

NEW GAME
CRYSTAL BALL


title gif.gif


Look deep into the crystal ball. Tell me, what do you see? For this game, I will post a sequence of numbers every hour, on the hour. The first person to predict which number comes next in the sequence gets a point. After ten rounds, the person with the most points wins their choice of an LPS OR SPS MYSTERY FRAG!!!

In the event of a tie, the person that scored first wins. Good luck!

If he gets movement alerts then maybe a windmill type thing over there is in order.
