What did you use your flashlight for today?

I believe the fox trampoline video is AI generated. Notice how each of the clips lasts exactly 8 seconds, which is a common rendering limit. Still cute though!

It was made from an Olive wood tree, in Jerusalem. Old enough that Jesus may have walked past it. Perhaps while the Devil was trying to tempt him with getting his message across to millions throughout the known world. Before he told the Devil to get lost.

Accidently torture-tested my brass neutral white Peak Eiger.
It went thru the wash. Forgot it was in my shorts pocket.
Then it turned on like nothing happened,after I took it out of the washer.
(I'm sorry,Robyn.)

My stainless steel Logan would have alerted me immediately with the sounds of disintegrating washing machine. I guess…

My beloved wifey is sleeping way better than me, so SC53Fc is my friend on a daily basis. And then Convoy S2+ directed to the ceiling in order not to waste too much energy in another room.

Don’t poke creatures with wooden spoons. Wood fiber absorbs the smell of food (especially if it is a cooking spoon) and smells tasty as hell to the animals. No wonder a badger has decided to steal and put a gruesome end to it.Great idea!
I mainly use mine to gently poke badgers.
Used to use an old wooden spoon. Until one day, a badger ran off with it.
I miss that spoon.

Lumintop Tool 2.0 Nichia used to see the buttons on my microwave.
(Didn't want to turn on the kitchen lights.)

Looking for something in the back of the lower kitchen cupboards where general lighting doesn’t reach.
Old 9LED, 3AAA flashlight from Wally World. Lives on the living room window sill.
Used it yesterday to tie my sneakers that I wear around the neighborhood when off-duty from my 3rd Shift job. The laces are a bit short. Normally I can manage, but yesterday was a different story.

Yesterday I was disassembling a lighting gadget when I dropped two tiny screws on the floor. I used my PD36R to find one of them. The other one is still stalking my bare feet.
The auger motor needed to be replaced on Mom's pellet stove, so I called upon the Spark SD6-460NW headlamp.
The motor had to be dismantled to achieve a purchase of its shaft with Vicegrips, then another Vicegrip was clamped to the auger shaft so some back and forth motion could be applied. I tell you what, when it was finally freed, I felt like King Arthur.

Wurkkos CL01 lantern... Ms. TPA woke up at 2:30a with leg cramps, so I used it rather than turning on the lights. Heating pad + massage + prayer until it resolved. I suspect it was the prayer which actually made it go away.

Do not consider that a commercial in any way. My wifey suffered exactly the same issue — leg cramps so hard that she nearly limped in the morning (wonder why women suffer that thing). And this was happening nearly on a daily basis. She was close to crying sometimes.
But there is Morning Complete from ActivatedYou.com. We picked Citrus Medley as the least nasty taste :)
Now, thnx God, several years with zero issues.

Sanded E01 helped me see what I was doing while showering. No.....my power isn't out.
Took my Emisar Noctigon K9.3 outside last night to plug in the block heater to our cars. With a few days now with temperatures above 0°C all day, it suddenly turned a bit colder during the nights.
A hightly underused light these days, as I configured it as a late-night walk light (9x E21A 3500K + 3x Osram W1 Green) - something I have nearly completely stopped doing. :(

I can also add I used my Convoy S12 UV-A to clear out most traces of a mouse nest in the garage a couple weeks ago.
Had to throw away 9x 60 litre nets of firewood. I had no interest in bring that crap (literally) into the house, and handling the wood with bare hands when burning it.
So that's a another garage cleaning scheduled for this summer. >-<
Plan to disinfect the whole area of the garage this weekend - hope antibac (hand sanitizer) works, as I got several litres of the stuff (stated, with certifications, to remove fungus, viruses and bacteria).
At least the pests had only nested around the one tightly-packed cluster of nets. I searched all around the rest (not as tightly packed), but saw no trace of anything showing up under UV. But of course they had done it quite high up, and right in between 2 nets - so when I handled the nets of each side, parts (...whatever it was, it was UV-reactive) kept falling between the nets further down. So I just threw away most of both stacks. It was cold, but I was still wearing disposable gloves and a (FFP2) mask during the handling.
And during the cleaning, I will be doing a revision of the stacking method, making more cold air enter in between the stacks next winter.
