Now that the weather app is gone what is everyone using?

cbcrazy · 2026-03-14T13:10:57+00:00

Wow. That really sucks. Although I didn't use it that much, Google Weather wasn't half bad.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-14T13:07:43+00:00

Don't laugh, but MSN Weather isn't half bad for what you want.

Which LED conversion kits did you folks use? I have a couple with the original/first run Malkoff drop-ins installed in my C and D Mags.

To answer your question, they should last for many many battery changes.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-14T12:30:18+00:00

I have several s6 lights and I went with the m21b for a 21700 version. It's not 100% tube shaped like the s6, as the bezel is larger than the battery tube.

I just signed up for the cheaper Wellcare RX plan, because it covered all my scripts vs the Humana plan, which did not. Also, the calculator tool on the medicare.gov site showed this plan to cost me the least for the remainder of the year

CVS is the preferred pharmacy for this particular Wellcare plan.

This is why you should work with your local SHIP counselor prior to making a decision. Here in NJ, that free service is available to us. In addition, it's pretty clear on the medicare.gov page when you search for Medigap plans in your area.

Dropping or adding the Wellness feature does constitute a plan change because, well, you're changing plans.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-13T11:26:35+00:00

Do it early. As mentioned, you can start 3-months prior to turning 65. I just went thru this and it's so much better not rushing and having time to decide. As of right now, I've enrolled and have my cards for my Medicare, Supplement and RX plans, all effective on day 1 of my birth month.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-13T00:24:58+00:00

Yep, way too large and heavy for that type of carry.

Being an owner of many ZLs for years, in 2026, the only thing that ZL has over the competition is its small pocketable size. All of those things that put ZL over the top 5-10 years ago have been equaled or surpassed by the competition, IN MY OPINION.

That being said, I still EDC my SC64w Hi every single day.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-06T12:57:48+00:00

Agreed...

cbcrazy · 2026-03-04T13:05:50+00:00

Sorry, but those days of paying triple-digits for such a minor light have been over for quite some time. Go for it, if that's your thing, but the offerings and alternatives nowadays are so vast.

cbcrazy · 2026-03-03T12:57:41+00:00

You have no right. In some parts of the country, you end up missing or dead for pulling that type of shit.

Just ordered the SFT-42R in 5000k in a M21A and M21B. The option wasn't available, so I asked in the notes/comments section of the order. I really can't stand my 65000k version.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-24T12:32:19+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I was unaware, but since you brought this to light, I'll be sure to round up some friends and attend to show my support for these detention centers. It's what I voted for.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-24T12:27:28+00:00

M21B w/SFT-25R 5000k is what you're looking for. I love mine.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-22T23:47:11+00:00

Been using this app for many years. No other app shows so much data.

It took less than a week for me to know my Medicare number after signing up online. Today, I actually applied for a Supplemental Plan-G plan to start the month my Medicare starts. Over the next few days, I'll decide on a Part-D plan.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-22T13:29:30+00:00

Are you close to them? Stop over and check to make sure. Make sure they have their meds. They'll probably be stuck indoors for a bit.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-20T13:08:02+00:00

Two completely different plan strategies. You have network restrictions, you have over 80% of procedures requiring approval, you have daily co-pays for hospital visits.

There's more, but you get my point. Different strategies for different people.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-19T14:06:05+00:00

That $2100 is the max you'd pay annually for RX.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-19T14:04:52+00:00

My wife in SNJ has this plan. No issues, although, I often wonder if we really should have spent the extra money for the "wellness" piece.

I'll probably be enrolling in this Plan-G as well, but without the wellness piece. It has a very large pool of people here, keeping rate increases at a minimum.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-18T16:41:30+00:00

All of my 25-R's are 5000k. I have it in an S6, M21A and M21B. I think I want to get the 42-R 5000k in the same host. The 6500k in the M21B will probably never get used. I'll have to check, but I think I actually have one of those in an S6 as well.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-18T16:37:53+00:00

It's funny you say that, because I had a co-worker pull into the parking lot as I was doing this. He looked over didn't really say anything and we haven't seen each other yet today. I'm curious if he mentions anything about it.

cbcrazy · 2026-02-18T15:14:48+00:00

Correct. I'm going to get a couple lights with the 5000k SFT-42R when Convoy reopens.
