I called my Dad last week and asked if he was using his ARC AAA I gave him a year or two ago. He said "yes, I have it on my key chain and use it nearly every day." I then asked if he thought a small coin cell light might be nicer because of it's small size, to which he replied "no, why do you ask?" I told him I lost mine in the storm and Lezli (my wife) wouldn't give me hers and I didn't want one bad enough to pay $50 for a new one.
My Dad laughed and commented on how much he enjoyed his. After that turn down I went back to my wife and told her I really needed hers and I would get her a really cool coin cell or a 1AA key chain light. It was then she sort of blew a gasket and said, "Fine, take it if you think that's what you need to do." Anyone that's married knows I didn't dare go near the light at that point and I haven't brought it up since.
I bought AAA’s for 2 guys at work 2 years ago and offered a $10 profit to each guy to sell me his used one but they both declined. I think I have created flashlight snobs.
Today I received a yellow Surefire G2 in the mail from my Dad as what I assume is conciliation for not giving me his AAA. Well...I love you man but I wanted the AAA.
I will start working on my wife again in a few weeks and am sure we can come to some kind of an agreement. Maybe a night out at an over priced restaurant will do the trick. Some way , some how I’m getting her AAA.
***DO NOT OFFER ME YOUR AAA. One of the other mods. already offered to send me one and I declined. I do not want one given to me, I will buy one, go without or pester my wife until she gives me hers. This board has done way to much for me already. I know this comment may only apply to one person but before anyone else has pity on me, don't. We are doing great and this was just a semi-funny story and interesting to point out how attached people get to a certain torch.***
