FCW-4 Flashaholics Camping Weekend!

[senecaripple]

about four more new moons, or a tri-mester

 

[JimmyM]

Funny you say "tri-mester"...
My wife gave birth to our daughter Madeleine on Friday May 30th. She was only 30 weeks along but all is going very well. My wife was discharged from the hospital today.

Jimmy,
Well congratulations, POPS. Is this number one for the avid flashaholic? So tell me, which lights do you plan on buying for the little angel, to get her on the way to flashaholicism early in life?

For teething purposes, I suggest a small diameter single AA cell light that cannot be swallowed, is easy to grip.....and of course has an HAIII finish to break in those little jaws and make her teeth strong!

Any other comments for the new father, boys and girls, even though talking about the birth of a child is very very very....."off topic?"

Be good,
Jeff

Only 114 days left to FCW-4

 

[JimmyM]

I've already got lights for my other 2 girls, this one will get a few too.

I just received a couple of UV lights. They're cheapie 5mm cluster lights that use 3xAAA cells. But, I'll be bringing them to FCW-4. In the pitch black of night, I wonder what will fluoresce in the woods. Then we'll let lasercrazy incinerate them with his HID. I still haven't had a chance to go out and get a head-light though. Been a bit busy as of late.

Hey Jimmy congrats on your new addition!

 

[AyeMayanor]

Add me to the list. PM sent.

Not sure if I'll be able to do both nights but I'll definitely be there for one. I used to swim at Hickory Run every summer when I was a kid but never camped there.

My camping experience is limited to a tent in my back yard This will be fun.

I see a visit to Cabela's in my near future. hehehehehehe:naughty:

Hey Luxlover...did you bring the Optics HQ e-series heads to PF10? If so, could you bring them along? I thought I saw you with them at one point but I was so distracted by other lights that I didn't get a chance to check them out.

To all PhotonFest/FCW attendees:

I was informed by Jason (m16a) that Walt175, our jolly guy at the corner of the dining room table, PASSED AWAY FROM A HEART ATTACK ON SATURDAY AT 3AM. This will be a shock to all of us. If anybody has any ideas how to memorialize him at our next PF or FCW gathering, please submit your idea to milkyspit, kartracer or myself.

You are confused about the series of SF lights that the OpticsHQ kits accomodate. At PF10, I had a pair of kits that were made for C-series thread types. I will bring them to FCW-4 and PF11. You can play with them all day, and test them on your SF lights as you see fit.

OpticsHQ has a head/bezel/light module assembly made for E-series lights. I don't have them. Look at the very bottom of this page, for the various configurations..... http://www.opticshq.com/page/Optics/CTGY/Surefire-Accessories

Yeah, I was confused about what you had at PF10. I saw you with a box of parts and heard someone say "OpticsHQ", so I just assumed they were the E-series conversion heads but didn't get a closer look. I'd like to get one for my unused L4 body but would like to see it in person first.

So, if anyone attending FCW-4 that does have an OpticsHQ E-series conversion head, please bring it

My tent has arrived

, but in case I don't arrive first save me a large flat area for Tentzilla 18' x 10'

Mate,
I'll save you a BIG area next to where you promised to help me pitch MY tent. Remember that my bad back prevented me from attending camp-outs 1, 2 and 3. Just a little help from you and Kyle would be great.

No wonder it took so long for you to get your tent. You had it shipped by stagecoach, whereas mine came by UPS Ground. :nana:

You can have a lot of help from Me, Kyle, Nick and Tabby.
Someone called fartracer? said he would help to

I just looked at the post listing the attendees. I didn't see any "fartracer." With a name like that, whomever he/she is, better pitch a tent far away from the rest of us. Nobody better light a match around that noxious person!!

We better play it safe and bring "safety rated" lights like the Streamlight PP 4aa. I won't be charging any lithium batteries near him either.

Good idea. Some Pelican lights have "hazardous material" certifications, as do some streamlights. I have the same light as you, with seven LEDs.

Any mishap could cause the event known as "rapid disassembly."

[JimmyM]

If indeed he is now Fartracer, then I guess I'll be staying in the camper by myself.

 

[KartRacer31]

Hmmmm let me see, I need to figure out the square footage of a tent that is 18' X10' so that I know how much baked beans I'm gonna need to eat to be able to produce enough gas to fill the interior space of that new tent of yours Mr. Cool.

Jeff, no worries, I'll be happy to help with putting up your tent.... every good job needs a foreman. I'll make sure TooCool doesn't slack off.

Jimmy, no worries man I never fart in bed!
