Anyone heard from Endeavour recently?
Haven't seen Enrique or heard from him. Anyone know his whereabouts? PM me. Thanks. -

Where did all the oldtimers go.
Member #669 here. I'd say that makes me an old timer. Kind of a second wave old timer. There's at least 11K members now. -

What lights do you bring to Disneyland?
10 years ago or so, I got to tour the Disney World shops. Where they make everything for the parks, from the street signs to the rides, to the character costumes. I got to try on a prototype carbon fiber mickey mouse head. This was before the current security situation, but because of the fear... -

Question for people who've lost their parents
My parents are both departed. I've been an orphan since my mid-40s. Nobody would adopt me. Best advice I got is that when you accept life, you accept ALL of it.. the good and the bad. Losing parents is one of the most traumatic events any of us face. For me, it was 12 and 15 years ago, and... -

What's Your Dream Car?
The one I dream about now is a Toyota Land Cruiser. I drive a lexus gs400 with pushbutton shifters on the steering wheel and a fast v-8. However, my kids are into baseball and scouts and that gs400 is way out of its element driving to either of those activities. -

Favorite Coffee & Setup
Our setup is a lowly braun drip coffee maker. Just had to replace one that was 7 years old or so. Has a nice water filter in it. I get the Costco branded Starbucks morning blend in the green bag and grind it up at Costco. Store it in some old french glass jars with a lever and gasket... -

Favorite shipping methods
Hard to beat FedX for reliability and convenience. For price however, the USPS is still way better. * For "low" value items, I use USPS priority. Affordable and covenient since they supply the boxes. Creating the label online gets you free delivery confirmation. * For high value items, I use... -

Where did all the oldtimers go.
I joined up when ARC began and left when they went under. There wasn't much of interest for me, so I kept using my surefires and LSs. Went back to my other interests, mostly custom knives. Recently I saw that ARC was back in business and then, on USN, I saw the Jets22 CR2 light with tritium in... -

football vs baseball
I like both. Last few years, I've found pro football to be kind of repetitious and boring to me. Baseball OTOH isn't as obvious, but every bit as involved. In football, games have many similarities. Same basic plays over and over. Baseball does too, but you also encounter situations and plays... -

What mistakes have you made?
Last night, I left the dishwasher door open, didn't realize it and tripped and fell right on it. Bent like a piece of tin foil. Spent half the day today fixing it. Used a BFH and managed to get it bent back in shape. -

Halloween lighting
Bet I'm not the only flashaholic who was looking forward to Halloween as an opportunity to break out some portable lights and have some fun. I ended up putting glow sticks on the kids, and armed myself with an e2e/KL1 for practical lighting -- helping the kids find their way, doorbells, etc... -

This is like deja vu all over again. YC, isn't this about the point for you to roll out your picture of the little CR design clip on an M6? -

Poll: What do you drive?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Ryan, very funny; very informative. Lots of interesting information about cars and gadgets from all over the world. But wasn't this thread about what CPF members drive? That salt flat racer doesn't have a light anywhere. Couldn't possibly belong to one of us. -

CSI
I really love CPF and all the flashaholics, but I've got to say that the only thing geekier than being obsessed with flashlights is being obsessed with a TV show that uses flashlights. Better be careful or we'll start making Trekkies look normal. BTW, I do plan on setting TIVO to record CSI so... -

Poll: What do you drive?
Currently driving a '99 Lexus GS400. Great car. Might (or might not) be the fastest car in this thread, but definitely has the coolest lighting on 4 wheels - HID self-leveling headlights. When you start the car with the headlights switched on, the lights go through an adjustment sequence by...
