Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Thanks for this response because it's what this whole thing is supposed to be about! :thumbsup:

Mossyoak, I'd like to see you stay in. Please don't let some of the negatively phrased posts get you out of it. They kind of got me down when I saw some of them, but then look at the one from YoufoundNemo! Stay in and go ahead and show them how it's done in a gentlemanly manner! 😉

Haha, alright man.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Yeah, but you know they're going to be the last things left, they are a little under-appreciated.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

My friend was really amazed by my 14500 I had in my blu-ray (I used to be a real laser guy) He was surprised that you (in his words), "...could fit so many watts in there." He put it in his keychain incan and it had a completely ownage output... for 20 seconds xD The lamp blew and he replaced it, haha.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Well folks I ended up being fortunate enough to be placed at #6 on the list.

I will tell you right now that I must have spent at least an hour looking over everything that is being offered trying to narrow the list down to what I felt would work best for me.

Well I can say that I have it down to about 7 different lights. Some for different reasons on top of that.

I am one that isn't real familiar with all of the excellent lights that have been made available to those of us on that list. There are many on that list that just don't fit what I wish to use it for.

I have not gone through just looking to find the most expensive light on the list! I will say that a couple of them are very tempting though!

Now I am just patiently waiting for those in front of me to make their choice.

I will at this time say that I greatly appreciate the generosity of those that have contributed to this endeavor.

I can only hope that at this time next year I will be able to repay the debt that I feel I will owe to one and all.

Well so far, me and dad got it down to about 6 lights.

Oh, by the way, Dad says thanks for this great event as well. 😀

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Haha, alright man.

I guess some of us (myself included) got a little too excited/eager when the list was posted :ashamed: We didn't reflect on the true meaning of this thread, just as many forget the true meaning of the holidays these days (terrible that people are willing to kill someone and then step over his body for a good deal on some tv's :sigh🙂 Sometimes I question where we as a society are heading.

Anyhow, I appologize if I offended anyone earlier and in an effort to stop the mad flow of notifications spamming people's inboxes 😛 , promise not to post again until it is my turn to choose.

Thanks again to ksbman and to all the donors this year :twothumbs

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

now I believe that we're beginning to see the meaning of this CPF event

Thanks again to ksbman and to all the donors this year :twothumbs

thanks for this great event

I will at this time say that I greatly appreciate the generosity of those that have contributed to this endeavor.

I can only hope that at this time next year I will be able to repay the debt that I feel I will owe to one and all.

Please do not forfeit what you want for me as I want you to get what you want. It is not receiving one of these gifs that makes me happy it’s seeing those around me happy which is the greatest gift of all🙂.

I am thrilled that I am fortunate enough to donate a couple decent lights.

his was very awesome of Ksbman, and hopefully next year I can contribute something to this awesome act of kindness

Ksbman, your generosity never ceases to amaze me

Remember everyone, this isn't about getting the best light or the most expensive light. This is about people who are doing a bit better than us spreading some holiday cheer, regardless of whether its in the form of a Surefire light or some batteries.

Thanks for doing all this for us bro. Karma smiles upon you.

Keith, you are the epitomy of all the best in CPF. My hat is off to you!

And thats just some quotes in this thread.... perhaps society isnt going where it thought it was:toilet: 😛

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

My bad, Mossyoak. I didn't mean to offend you with my wishful thinkings. 😳

And yeah, we shouldn't lose sight of the purpose of this event.

Thank you for being gracious. As for me I don't need anything.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Remember everyone, this isn't about getting the best light or the most expensive light.

Its the thought and the generosity being displayed here which counts, not what you get - don't lose sight of that!

I'm impressed with american lockpicker. He had first choice and he didn't go for the most expensive lights, he went for what he wanted. And it's OK if what you wanted is the most expensive light.

See this what I mean: I was thinking about picking the 660 SF but I wasn’t really pulling for it, but now that I saw that he was thinking about it, I would stay clear of it to be generous,:santa:

There are no dibs, but saying what you want may help you get it. But don't feel bad if you're ahead of someone and you both want the same light.

The missing lights shows up at the end and they happen to be the best....

I remember that one of the missing lights is another Olight M20.

...but please remove me from the list.

Are you sure? (I just read further, and see that you are still in, good.)
I think it's all right to be excited about receiving a gift. I like watching everyone speculating (not scheming) about what they might receive.

... they are a little under-appreciated.

Only until the battery that came with your light dies.


So, how many people have PM'd carbine15?

 

[Youfoundnemo]

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

It would be interesting to see who has....odd how there were posts every 5 min untill you said something about pestering carbine15...lol

just for the record I haven't.....yet

 

[kevin_d'marie]

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Same here and I don't think I'll be bothering carbine15 anytime soon.

It's friday, carbine probably won't get back until 10PM or so.

Edit: Eh, one pm won't hurt 😛

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Judging by carbine's post earlier in this thread, I'd say he has far more on his plate to worry about than a flashlight giveaway. Harassing him to pick would just be pointless.

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

I apologize, as I too got little eager and excited. I do feel very fortunate to have been picked for this awesome Holiday Giveaway! Thanks to everyone who graciously donated and a Happy Holidays!

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Congratulations to all of the winners. Thanks ksbman for spending all of your time organizing this. And happy holidays to all. :santa: :santa: :santa:

Can this be made a sticky until all of the winners have chosen?

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

Congratulations to all of the winners. Thanks ksbman for spending all of your time organizing this. And happy holidays to all. :santa: :santa: :santa:

I really want to send a thanks to Ksbman in the form of some smoked salmon when I get back to Alaska! Ksb, is there anything you'd like from Japan?

A little off topic, but very relevant I feel. Anyone else want to join in? :santa:

Re: Christmas Gifts VI ARE HERE!

I'm glad to see this tradition still around. Keith, you've touched many hearts these past few years by your generosity in giving. I've told many friends and family members of the gift (Orb) you donated to me several years back and everyone who heard of your generosity was in disbelief. Although the light is no longer working now, I still keep it for sentimental value .

I'd like to thank those other members following suit on this terrific Christmas tradition! :twothumbs
