For the first time in months, I noticed that I have no flashlight related items "in transit" to or from buyers or sellers. Prior to this, like for the past year or so, I've been actively buying and selling lights almost continuously (cheers to CPF B/S/T /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif). It seems like I've settled in on a few kinds of lights that I really like, to the exclusion of other kinds that I tried and liked less. And as such, I don't feel any burning itch to buy or sell anything right now -- I actually feel a new emotion for me, that I'll call Flashlight Contentment. I've been actually using and enjoying my lights, rather than jockeying them between what I like, what I want, what I want to sell, what I haven't yet tried. The nice thing about flashlights as a hobby is that you can buy, try, change your mind, sell, trade, etc, and its still (relatively) affordable.
Anyone else feeling the same kind of Flashlight Contentment? Can it be sustained? If so, how long did it last?
And here's the "keepers" (as evidenced by the fact that I own several of each, positioned in different places and applied for different needs). Notice that I've worked all incandescents out of my inventory:
SureFire L4 (Bright) -- 3
Arc LS (EDC) -- 2
Opalec MiniMag (Long Runtime) -- 3
CMG Infinity Ultra G w/ lithium (strategically positioned for occasional use) -- 4
Arc AAA (tiny) -- 2
I even sold my Space Needle II, that was fun but I just wasn't ever using it. I guess the one indulgence is my McLux TK that I'll always keep for its pure beauty and historical significance. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
F.C. . . . . . Aaaaahhhhhh. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
