Flashlight Enthusiast
At my favorite tactical shops, I keep asking for their discontinued models, those that they kept in the drawer, unloved, etc...
1. The wifey doesn't recognize a new addition because I have so many lights
2. The wifey now understands different lights for different situations
3. The wifey carries a light in her purse, reluctantly at first
4. The wifey had to use it to lead a group of commuters out of a metro tunnel that was filling up with smoke
5. The wifey doesn't ask how much I spend on lights anymore
The wifey works in downtown DC and takes the red line of the metro. The same red line that had trains crashing into each other and fires in the tunnels. Well.......one morning the train stops and the conductor very emphatically orders everyone off the train. She remembers that I insisted she put a light (a 4 sevens 2xAA) in her bag, so she ends up leading somewhere around 30 people through the tunnel to the nearest stairwell. She tells the story much better than I do.
I like that one. :thumbsup:[...] Referencing The Walking Dead as a excuse as to why so many batteries and flashlights [...]
Now for a few of my own 'confessions'..........3. Not only do I track all of my flashlight expenditures in Excel (sorted by year), but I maintain 'cost basis' numbers for all my flashlight setups.
5. If my flashlight expenditures go above $350 in any one year, I either sell something or wait until the next year before making additional purchases.
7. The most expensive light I own, I use the least.
Your flashlight confessions?
I like that one. :thumbsup:
One more I just thought of,
9. Still actively trying to wear out my pair of AW 2600mAH 18650's while I have a 'new' rolleyes set of 2900's waiting to be put into service. Now that I have a set of lightly-used 3100's incoming, maybe that will be enough to finally get me to recycle these old 2600's ...
