What did you use your flashlight for today?

No, the book your referencing will get you killed if you try any of the more Explosive recipes in it. If I wrote a book like that, the reader would stay safe. :cool:

Reminds of this guy a few years back (with his family in the house) who was mixing pool chemicals (in his garage) to make small explosives for either New Years or 4th of July.

BOOM, blew himself up. From what I was told, neighbors was finding small body parts for a few days / week after.

Excellent tunnel but it's really a railroad culvert. It is one of the longer and nice ones around. and unless you know where to climb down off the rail trail you can't see it.
If you are out hiking when the balloons go up, that would make a good expedient fallout shelter. You might want to bury a cache in it just in case.

Perfect example of why the closest I've come to forking around with explosives was a Sparkler, when I was a kid. And, a ferro rod and striker as an adult.
 
That's too bad. I was a bit of a pyro when I was a kid. Played around with fireworks, blew up some model planes and cars, launched tin cans (that was a LOT of fun!) scavenged black powder from dud fireworks and experimented, etc. Good times! Survived with all fingers. :LOL:
 
Used my S21B to sweep the workplace counter in search of my missing T7. The counter is black granite and the T7 is anodised black, so ambient light was nowhere near enough.

Turns out the T7 was not on there. Somehow it ended up in a cabinet's drawer by the foot of my workstation. Knowing my dexterity I probably elbowed it right into the drawer.

You need to live a little. :)

One of the sites I got to work was a gravel pit while they were blasting. They let me push the button. There was something sadistically therapeutic about detonating 2 tons of ANFO and watching tons of granite being blown apart.

Well, a traditional Molotov Cocktail is relatively safe. Though not too many abandoned places you can fling those just for pure fun.

Try Ukraine. Lots of destroyed places there. :(

The missus pulled that old 3AAA Dorcy out of her purse today.
Do you hate her? a Dorcy?

Mine has an EDC01 on her keychain as it's small enough and has a long enough runtime to keep her happy. She's good about changing out the AAA eneloop well before it's dead.

No, don't hate her. Bought it and gave it to her many, many years ago, when it was considered "bright", and before I learned of really better lights. In my defense, I did upgrade her to the Surefire Fury DFT with 18650 (1500 lumens). Give me a break!

Thinking about giving her a Maglite Spectrum Solitaire for her keychain. She likes the warm light over the cool white.

 
Used my Acebeam H15 headlamp for a quick dip into the garage to plug in the block heater at 6 AM this morning.
Winter is coming, and my diesel car is none too happy about it. Got snow on the local roads too.

But part of me is looking forward to the darkness of night still present in the mornings. At least as soon as I get into the car.
My Lazer Triple-R Elite 24 is ready. So are my 4x Rigid D-XL Pro pods.
