    Neat household MacGyver tricks you've learned

    My Mother told me not to smoke . . . she was right . . . and I volunteered for Agent Orange, so it's all my own fault. The last corded telephone handset I used was a Princess, and its handset was permanently kinky.

    Google Map for Candlepowerforum Members

    I could not figure out how to add myself to the forum map, so I made my own map, called donn_, and added a location called GSB (Great South Bay). It's a blue upside down teardrop right off Amityville, NY...

    Neat household MacGyver tricks you've learned

    This is more like a Mr. Magoo (can we still say "Mr."?) household trick, but . . . If, like me, you smoked anything that would burn for over 50 years, AND inhaled Agent Orange when you were a yoot, you are probably wrangling an O2 hose which is getting more and more recalcitrant as the weather...

    Binge worthy series

    We just finished season 4 last night, and so far, that's all there is. We averaged 2-3 episodes an evening . . . entertaining, but loony!

    When UPS Tracking Shows Item Is "Out For Delivery"

    I once shipped a very expensive custom light to a member in Japan. He was in a hot rush for the item, and instructed me to use USPS Express, which was supposed to be overnight from Long Island to Japan, and for which he added well over $100 to his payment. He got the light over 2 weeks later...

    Recommend Me a Light for walking the dog at night in a rural unlit area

    "Probably the best overall single light in existence." Can't be. That one is in my left hand chest shirt pocket, hanging on a 25 year old Orvis Zinger that's clipped to the pocket. It takes a single CR2, and has a smooth-as silk twist head 2-speed UI. I fondle it several times a day, just to...

    Maglite Bulb Economics

    "Years ago" (over 16), I bought a 2D Maglite on this forum. I bought it from a member named hodsta, but it had been given life another member who has probably owned more Mags than anybody other than Mr. Maglite himself. It had a custom paint job, and ran 8 AA alky cells, through a fancy gold...

    Recommend Me a Light for walking the dog at night in a rural unlit area

    If it were me, these days, it would be my Remington 870 Marine Magnum, with its titanium E Series custom weapon light with a Surefire switch and mount, a Mirage_Man CR123 tube and a Ti head by I don't remember who, and a really nice drop-in. I have posted a photo of it before, but I don't...

    Advice for refurbing a dive light

    Hope this isn't against the new Rules of CPF, but this poor thread needs some answers. Soooo....here's a free bump for a new guy from an old-timer. I can't answer the questions, but there must be some other members who can.

    Binge worthy series

    I'm afraid to read the whole thread, because the last thing I need is another TV series to watch, but if no one cited "Killing Eve," it's right up there with the most crazy things I've seen on the tube. Harrumphle! Am I nuts, or is CPF counting posted words now? \/ \/ \/

    Seattle 2 New York City Road Trip March 13-22

    10 days from there to here and back? You won't see much other than road signs and motel rooms. Have a good drive, though. Edited to add...I re-read post#1..you're flying back. That'll add a little time for touristing. Hint: The best thing about NYC is the food. Be sure to research all the...
