You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

I know that feeling!
Seems a bit rude to delete something that someone's gone to the trouble of sending.

I may qualify.

I haven't bought a higher end light in 18 years. Between 2000-2002 I spent thousands on various lights. (Thanks to this forum!) The family and friends all got upgraded, as did the local police department. Rechargeable CR123's were only available from a small shop in Hong Kong. Running those on select emitters got 120-130 lumens, which was amazing. Yes, the tint was bluer than blue, and you could toast marshmallows on it after a couple minutes. The amazing thing is most of those Surefire/Aleph/McGizmo mods are still being used. They got lost, not broken. Or permanently borrowed:buddies:

It's actually been a few years since I myself have carried a decent light, other than a 10.00 Maglite solitaire. Just out of curiosity, decided to check out this forum again. It was great to see McGizmo's still around, and the progress in technology and tints.

So there's an 119 AA Haiku headed my way. That in itself doesn't really qualify as flashaholism. But maybe considering a Tana triple while it's still in the mail.........

.... you refer to your flashlights as My Precious.

I don't do that, but if you do, you should realize that you're a flashaholic.

..... you spend over an hour reading each and every PM before deleting it, ....... just to make sure you don't need it anymore.

~ Chance

Wait!....... You delete PMs?? (Hmm.... might have to look into that one day.)

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Yes, I had to. We lowly level 1 guys have 50 less that you upper-level 2 guys. It's kinda like not having stars upon thars.

[Monocrom]

I'm so sorry. Must admit, the stars really do bring out the quality of my fur. Hold on a sec....

Okay, I've got a bottle of Parker Quink Permanent Green ink and a small paint-brush. Now just hold still....

 

[InvisibleFrodo]

Uh oh, I hope C.G. isn't ticklish!!

 

[Monocrom]

Yeah, hope that's not an issue. :lolsign:

When you see this and think "hmmmmm, what if?"

 

[peter yetman]

Have you had another surprise delivery from PK to take your mind off the fags?

............

That's English for cigarettes, by the way, before you freak out.

 

[Modernflame]

......And the Post of the Day Award goes to Peter. The timing was terrible, though. I read your quip about the fags just as I had taken a drink of Coca Cola. Nearly came out of my nose. :lolsign:

All it needs is a custom leather belt pouch.... Or maybe a long enough pocket-carry clip.

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

I'm kinda surprised Mr. Fixer hasn't lightly spray painted the glass a nice warm yellow.

Or a Belt-Trundle Harness, like the ones Antarctic explorers use to pull their supply sledges along behind them

I think your all crazy tbh, its obvious it would work perfect on a hard hat, multi directional light for the team at hand.

I'm thinking a harass and chest-rig set-up like a forward-facing baby carrier.

When your EDC bag contains enough battery power to keep you illuminated for a year and a half using low mode. You know, just in case you get stuck somewhere for a long time... in the dark.

And why is this unusual, exactly...??? :thinking:

 

[AMD64Blondie]

When a $18 shipped Lumintop Tool 2.0 AA just accidently drops in your Amazon cart.
