Haha thanks Mark! I just did these spur of the moment so yeah... just fooling around. I'm a bit of a country bumpkin I guess :laughing:. Not like the Urban Dictionary's definition though.

I'll just post this link to my YouTube channel and people can watch what they want. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChKHL5pcy9WIt6HVkNDJUyw
The Eye Of Sekhmet vid also features my 6XLvn. I plan to do one featuring the X65vn cerakota soon too.
These vids are kind of crappy but I'll get better hopefully.
Wimmer for the win! BOOM! :candle:

Not yet. I got one in my convoy c8 sst40 dedome modded by blf. It's still more cool white after dedome.. blf driver. This light can handle higher amp and recommend Sony vtc6.

jk man, good videos, enjoyed em
you need to put wheels on that table now, tow it out in the drive way with your pick up, and do beamshots of every one of em now..
why stop at just a few ?:laughing:
Please excuse all the poor grammars below...
This summer I visited Ca Mau, the most southern city in Vietnam. What an experience of a lifetime during the short three weeks I was there. Aside from visiting relatives and local attractions one of my small side mission was to deliver $1000 from my Lux Signifer charity to the needy. I rather hand out the funds directly to random individuals than giving it to some organization. There were many encounters but here are the 5 most unique and heart felt experience for me.
1) My cousin countryside house has the most broke down bicycle ever. Rusted chain, loose bottom bracket, brakes barely grab. Everything was wrong with the bike except the tires were fully inflated. So it was ride-able nonetheless haha. My friend and I rode around the local farms across many rice patties. It was a beautiful sight. We did this mid afternoon where everyone was indoor to avoid the sun. It was HOT! On our ride we saw a lady on one of the rice patty working. The patty was about 5-7' lower than street level. She was the only one we saw among all the patties. I thought she was such a hard worker so I came by to converse. She said she loves working and actually gets sick if she stays indoor. We said out goodbyes and moved on. Hours later on our ride it started to rain violently. It rained so hard each drop hurt my face. It rained so hard I can barely see anything in front of me. Many people watch us from their house like we are crazy. Our feet and sandals were covered in mud. The Earth also smelled different as it soaked in the rain. There was no wind so the heavy drops strike us straight from the sky. It was cold for the first time in Viet Nam and I loved it. My friend wanted to continue in the rain so we happily did. The rain lasted a good 30 minutes. After our long adventure we rode back home yet again we saw the same lady on the patty. We came by to talk once again. She came over and I saw she was skinny had darker skin than me. A rare for a Vietnamese compared to me, the darker skin tone I mean. All that sun though. She always smiles although she was went and mostly covered in mud. She does have an accent so I only understand ½ of the things she was saying. Plus it was outdoor and we kind of have to scream to each other. I felt really bad for her so I took out my wallet and pulled out a 500 Dong (22 dollars, about 3-5 days worth of work for the average local) bill to gift to her. The instant she saw the money she said "I am not taking your money" and she turned and walk away. That was the last thing she said to us. At least the last thing we can make out. She continued working with her back to us and it doesn't matter what we said she didn't turn back. I could not stop thinking about her on our ride home.

I dont know if you guys follow up on the blf.. there is a convoy l6 with texas avenger FET driver Narsil firmware.. basically side switch have ramping mode and as well as memory mode... tailswitch also works as turbo mode..
that thing is cool.. in the future, that thing might replace magnetic ring..

For you throw fanatics out there, have you looked into Foxfury's BT2+. According to its specs, it pumps out 700 lumens, a whopping 981,000 CD, using 4xAA. Wonder how it manages that with much lower output and smaller head than even your typical hot rod modded throwers.

I'm looking forward to more stories from Vietnam!!!
That was a touching story Vinh. I wonder what she was feeling at that moment... guess we'll never know for sure.

Haha "your pickup" :laughing: I gotta get one now for sure.
Are videos better when turning the phone sideways? I'll have to experiment with that when I do my comparison vid of the X65vn cerakota vs. the TK75vnQ70 !
