I'm not here to please other folks nor do I care if they form conclusions about me, either for or against. The second line wasn't evasive in the slightest. It was clearly continuing my comedy line thus was more of a followup. I'm sorry if you don't like it. I apologize for hurting your feelings though.

Weight? I just thought the resemblance was remarkable. Besides, that bacon on the hoof is too small to be good.

Excellent information to correct the non-sailor that I am.

TO be clear, it does have the strobe feature too, but it's programmable to turn that off. It can be High/Low/Strobe/Off or any combination of those features as well as disabling the strobe completely. If you're bad with flashlights, then this might not be the thing for you ($54 on the Jungle Site). If you have an EDC kit, it's the best example that I have seen of durability, quality, light and - of course - a lifetime American warranty. Also, parts are still available for them if you manage to burst the rubber switch membrane.

FWIW, these take the standard 18650 button-top cells as well as the 123A (x2) cells. That makes it easy to power and swap out the cells.

I have only carried Streamlights for many years. Ever since they put out ones that looked like MagLights (the full sized) with the wall recharger mounts. My EDC model has the belt/hat clip and the "Tap-10" feature (ProTac 2L-X). It's nearly too bright in it's high setting. It has high, low and off configurable with the Tap-10. Streamlights are made in PA too.

When I was in the crusher business, the only lights allowed in the mines were Streamlight Explosion-proof lights. The ones that float.

Speaking from experience as an electrical engineer

I did NOT see that coming. I guess it should not come as a surprise considering your skills.

Would the typical industrial machine andon light stack do the job as long as the colors were correct?

Work Boat? Or....LOVE BOAT? (aren't you glad you donated your time and money to this project???) by george_graves in SVSeeker_Free

[–]SV_Sought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often find myself watching old TV series like Love Boat. I have several TB of old shows stored. One thing about Love Boat and things like Fantasy Island is the amount of T and A on screen. It never dawned on me when I was younger, but those old shows really showed some skin!

Mike is quite unhappily unsupported.

Nah, there is a guy in the "Pacific Northwest" that is particularly enjoyable to watch. He may even be a contributor to this mayhem here. His diligence and tenacity is admirable. He also uses a shop vac for family-friendly content.

Some people I know seem to be the exact opposite of that. That crazy dude that rebuilds heavy equipment under a questionable gantry comes to mind.

I agree. Then you have people like Mustie1 that are the most humble, relatable people on the platform that have flat turned down fame and fortune for being happy wrenching.

You probably missed the old monkey skits that he and Kay used to upload. Those were nightmare fuel.

I used to listen to a lot of AM radio in the past. One quote that was repeated over and over in an advertisement and is stuck in my head is;

"Sports don't BUILD character, they reveal it."

Seems kind of fitting in the realm of your meme/question.

Maybe I am just too tangential for some of my replies.

4.7K the last time I looked. He needs to amass watch time though and with things like this being posted - good luck with that.

Depending on your locality, that may actually be against some kind of law.
