    Arc-AAA "explosive decompression" (leaking Duracell)

    FWIW Arc's flashlights are pretty well sealed. I've purchased a number of Peter & Merri's flashlights over the years and have simply taken the step of checking them once a month or so to make sure that any pressure build up is relieved well prior to developing the pressure that yours must...

    Any Florida Flashaholics?

    Miami here. And yep, the last Shot Show in Orlando was a blast and had fun meeting CPF'rs there, anticipating attending the next show in Orlando. Much as I'd like, unable to do the Vegas shot shows.

    Trunk Lights

    Just noticed these in Lowes this afternoon (big warehouse home improvement chain store in the US). They were about ~$9.50 or so. I passed on getting any due to not really wanting to carry another type of spare battery (coin cells). Nothing against the product though, I actually like it...

    who else ownes one of these ARC AA

    According to an email that I received from Peter G. around October / November 2003, there were only 15 total of the AA lug style green anodized units made, of which I was fortunate enough to have received 4 (of the 8 requested) for Xmas gifts. Since they were subsequently laser engraved with...

    Arc Flashlight Going Out of Business

    Peter, Merri, Arc staff / supporters and CPF friends, Like others have perhaps more eloquently stated, wow...we feel and share the pain with you. But, perhaps more to the point, we also share the common mindset that the Gransee's & ARC et al have raised the bar on customer service where it was...

    Hi raggie33, FWIW, I drove up I-75 from Dade County, past Weston/Arvida Parkway area, to I-595 then drove east to Flamingo Road then back south down to Dade Co. around 5 to 6:30 PM tonight before it got dark. Noted about 50 trees that had been blown over (suspect soft wet ground could not...

    Sub_Umbra is absolutely correct, I suffered a "PEBKAC" * error on my side. Apologies, I was having a discussion while typing and thinking / meaning to type Cat 2, D'Oh! Winds have been varying in intensity, with increasing strength as the evening wears on. *= " Problem Exists Between...

    8:36 PM Aside from the several small bands of rainshowers and gusty winds mentioned earlier, today has been mostly winds from the north, a nice change from the typically muggy S Fla. weather. In general (at least from our vantage point) it has been a blustery/windy but nice day so far...

    Donate Blood???

    Floating Spots, Not much! Whaddaya mean not much! Hey, an old adage...a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step! It sounds like you've done well. There is always a need for blood donations and we'd all be better off with more donors. I was speaking with the local blood...

    Help Me Choose Job By Tuesday

    jayflash, I concur with the CNC job locally available. While it's nice to be in you own field, the fact is that the travel makes the low pay even lower and no bennies could really haunt you. The CNC job may well offer you unanticipated benefits, widen your skills, the continuing education...
