"And now, the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say.....
Just when you have started to wane in your faith of the mystical, the element of surprise, the "WTF" hits us and, in this case, right here on Candle Power Forums! I was in bed last night, was rereading this thread and, decided the first thing the next morning (today!), I'd take 'er apart AGAIN (!) and, do some hocus-pocus and keep my fingers crossed. Well, I picked up my trusty Univex AAA, pushed the "go" button...once, twice, THRICE (!!!) and shazam, not only were there THREE (count 'em!) levels of illumination at my disposal BUT, the "moon mode"---two, three lumen mode was gone and, she turned completely off!
I sure don't want to hear it but, I do know what you're thinking---the old boy is hitting the sauce again! Nah, I don't drink, take drugs, smoke (as an old buddy of mine used to say, "If yer smokin', ya better be on fire".), just blind myself with "flashlights is all.....REALLY....
Was this "cure" the result of the talents of the great Greek Archimedes, Mathematician and Physicist or might it have been the influence of Thor, the Norse God from Norway (archimedes and jorn if you haven't been paying attention)? Who really knows but, The Shadow! :tinfoil::thinking:
Hey, whatever works as is said---thanks to you gentlemen and whatever talents you evidently have at your disposal. Without my "talented" re-intervention, my beloved Univex now works!
The burning question now arises however..."what can I break now".....Hmmmmm?
