No shortage on want - I'm just as into flashlights as I've ever been! Huge shortage on time though, that's for sure. Family's been keeping me busy and I've been loving every minute of it.
I don't frequent CPF at all these days, but if you do the whole social media thing I'm trying for biweekly...

Ah, good catch sorry about that! The list will indeed be opening April 6th. I wasn't planning on serializing these, no. If I try to stamp them by hand it'll look like a kid wrote it with crayons, and engraving/milling adds a bit more cost than I can afford (I'm financing this entire first run...
