I volunteered my wife to participate in a game, so I had to go as well. We had to put on costumes to look like the main characters from the Angry Beavers cartoon. Unsure of the exact date of our visit, but since our 8th anniversary was "on Tuesday", it would be sometime in the week before October 13th in 1998. Recorded before a live audience at Nickelodeon Studios; At Universal Studios, Orlando...

    • @RonKStevens
      @RonKStevens 6 месяцев назад

      Not at all. When I had the bunk beds built I specifically made sure that the panel to access the engine bay would be accessible without having to take everything apart. Only one cover needs to be removed..

      It varies by manufacturer and model of the destination sign. I have a Luminator unit, so I needed to purchase special software from Luminator, as well as get some outdated hardware from eBay. We're talking hardware and software for the system that was designed during the Windows 98/Windows XP era. I think modern systems are now just a USB plugin
