Actually I object to this thread. We should be called the "most sophisticated" or something like that...
How about "experienced?" Some of us have a harder time pulling off "sophisticated."

I think you qualify as an old-timer, and since I won (along with Mr. Ted Bear) the award for longest-serving member in attendance at the 2014 CPF SHOT Show Get-Together, my opinion should carry SOME weight in this matter (although maybe not in others).Do I qualify as an old-timer around here? :thinking: .... (be VERY careful how you answer that... )

Now I want to cook some cornbread in my well-seasoned cast-iron skillet.Seasoned - that has a nice ring to it.
Thanks, Kestrel, and the rest! All this time I had no idea the answer was a mouse hover away.#7568, ~1/4 of mine. :wave:
Hahaha... yup. It knew you were replying to me. When was that... '08 or so? Scary.LOL, Bimbo, its the spell checker that gave you that moniker.
Yes. Everything you mentioned, and a whole lot more. Going down memory lane now.I remember the boomer days well
No worries. You don't look a day over... 548??Do I qualify as an old-timer around here? :thinking: .... (be VERY careful how you answer that... )
Hello Kelly,
With that number you may be the oldest "old-timer" around. You are much "older" than I am...
What's that?
Oh Oh, someone is throwing old dead leaking Alkaline batteries at me. Time to crawl back into my hole. :devil:

Your post caused me to reminisce, I joined a few months before you but had lurked for at least a year before making it official. I remember the boomer days well, the Luxeon lottery, cat urine green, sudden cell death syndrome, a 100 lumen LED being unobtainium, arguing whether a WA/WO/YO/XO tint was best, the Nuwai Q3, finding out that due to the heat created the lifespan of the Lux V was lowered from 50k hours to just 500. I remember paying $95 for a Luxeon light engine only to it by running it on a 168s Li-ion cell which is now called a 17670?
I feel privileged to have witnessed the early pioneers on this board, many who are now still doing well and deservedly so, one who started the whole High CRI movement via his thoughts and experimenting and made lights out of Titanium just because, another who at least helped invent the RCR123, one who introduced the first readily available 1x AA Luxeon light, one who made lights smaller than CR123 cells and kept lists, the list goes on. I still have a working interior dome light with a Luxeon in my Expedition given to me by a Big Daddy Admin.
Am I an old timer? No, I am getting old but I am proud to be a Bimmer-Boomer and hope to continue to watch the leaps and bounds of tech affect this hobby.
I have no idea what my member# number is.........................
Old buddy! It has been a long time!Hey "old + 1 year" friends :wave:
Time passes more quickly and it is now the time to say Happy new Year again :thumbsup:
I hope I could repeat that every years, even if I haven't time to participate more at CPF.
It would be interesting to have news from other friends, I am now CEO of Neolumen, I buy lot of flashlights, but not for me
By the way my number is 624 :nana:
See you next year :wave:
