7/20/2005 - More Maintenance
I think today after work, I'll be doing
some more maintenance-related stuff. I'll probably break out all
three fog machines and run them for a while to make sure I don't have
any clogged nozzles.
I'll also be putting the chains back on
the Monster in the Box since they've been outside rusting for a few
days now. The muriatic acid worked wonders at removing the zinc
plating and just spraying them with water has put on a nice aged look
to them. It's bothered me since I built the prop that the lock
looked old and beat but the chains were shiny and new. Now that's
no longer true. 
I'll also be modifying the shaking skeleton in a cage by removing the
sound effects that went with it. Last year, I added a sound chip
to it so when the cage started shaking, a sound played of the
"skeleton" (me, with vocal effects) saying "let me outta here!" I
didn't like how that turned out and the sound never played quite right,
so I'm just gonna remove it.
If time permits, I'll also take
out the CD of dialog I made for my talking skeletons and rip the track
off the disc and post it to my web site so people can hear last year's
routine. I may change the dialog for this year, but I'm not sure
yet. People seemed to like it, but at the same time, I don't want
to repeat what I did last year because I want to make it fresh for this
year. I guess it all depends if I can write a better routine for
them this year. 
I leave for work in a few. Ugh. Wish I could work on props all day.
