BTW..would you do something in your front yard to make you more noticeable?

When I came last time, I missed the numbers on the house & spent about 5-10 minutes driving around the loop looking in all the wrong spots for you & wondering if I had the directions wrong somehow.

I am thinking like a 2x3 foot sign that says CPF or a traffic cone on a car roof. Something obvious that would make it easy for the 1st timers to find the house in the neighborhood.


Watch for the GIANT purple spider !!!!:naughty:

can someone PM me the street address?
I will be at a birthday party early evening, and so I won't be able to come until late... after 6-7-ish.

thanks for arranging this once again!!

Hey we are really close to Branham light rail station. Less than a 5 min walk.
You could hop that.

Thank you Kevin and Vicki! I only made the last two hours but it's always a pleasure to see fellow flashlight folks. Thanks also to Gordan for showing me to the HDS Ra clicky. I think it's the first time I've actually got to try one.

Thanks, SheDevil and Weedle for hosting yet another great GTG! That was a lot of fun and I learned a few things and got some more crazy ideas for more lights (my wallet is screaming!!!).

Did someone pick up a Solarforce L2 by accident? I'm missing one. Please PM me if you did. Thanks! My shotgun is missing his little budy.

Jenna & I are home safe & sound.

We went to Lucky's but she wouldn't take the medicine because it wasn't the same color as the stuff at home.

So w/e. :shrug:

Of course she passed out within 2 minutes of being in the car! :thumbsup:

Weedle and SheDevil (or as I'll call the pair "WeeDevil" ) thanks for hosting another great get-together! It was good to see everyone and learn more about lights. Always a lot of fun.

ps...thanks to all those that either traded or sold me new parts for my addiction.

Yes, it was a very enjoyable party, easier to mingle with the smaller turnout than the previous one. Plenty of good food and interesting folks. Thanks for hosting, Weedle and She-Devil.

I went home and zonked out... now at work putting in my 8 hours. Will see if I can upload and link the beamshots tonight. I don't know why, but something caused my 70-200mm F/2.8 lens to defocus, even though I had auto-focus disabled. Odd. Maybe I was shaking it by pressing the shutter. Next time I will use the remote shutter release.
