    These are cool.   Not sure they are $275 cool tho.



    What a coincidence - I just got one of those a couple weeks ago. FenixUSA website had a 20% off sale so I snagged one. It's pretty amazing how well defined a spot it throws. It's not theater stage light tight as there is a bit of "spill". Even at the lowest setting the reflected light from many surfaces at close range (<20') can be rather blinding. Pretty impressive what 500 well placed lumens is capable of.


    Note to self: vacuum your damn keyboard more often during dry flaky skin season!

    I've had a few Fenix and they are head and shoulders above most brands out there in terms of support and quality. 

    As far as self-defense goes, that's one effective tool for blinding adversaries.

    Doesn't look that bad by eye. Guess the camera does add five to ten pounds - of dry flaky skin in this case.

    I find it steep for a Chinese-made product. That being said, I bought a fairly pricey Chinese-made guitar a few years back - something I didn’t think I would do - because there were no competitors making similar products.

    I’ve heard of Japanese Fenders that had good tone.   What did you think of the Chinese guitar?

    Yes. Lots of good Japanese guitars out there. The Japanese Fenders are good, as is the Tokai brand, which makes great Strat-style guitars. I have a Japanese-made Gretsch White Falcon that is stunningly well-crafted. 

    The Chinese-made guitar is a Journey OF660. Carbon fibre, full scale length acoustic guitar that breaks into two pieces for travel. Fully TSA compliant for carry-on. Taking it on flights as part of a business trip next month. It’s a really great design. No regrets whatsoever as far as the purchase. Has already served me well on several trips, in addition to me using it a ton at home. Being carbon fibre, it doesn’t need to be housed in my humidified room. Wish I had this thing when I first started playing, or at least when I was studying. The ultimate in portability without much compromise.

    Here is a flashlight prototype (100watt LED and a 44mm collimator, along with a controller and serious cooling) that I built.  Hope the woodworkers here aren't jealous.


    You need a 3d printer to make a professional looking enclosure.  Looks like a cool project!

    Please tell me it’s a cash deal, rates are wildly high (or you could refi when they turn down).   

    Regardless, congrats!!!

    We've been looking for years.  Criteria: Close to family business but not too close.  More bedrooms.  No projects.  This one popped up in a neighborhood very nearby.  No HOA.  Nobody behind me.  Meh. Its a for now house.  It does have 6 bedrooms and an office space.  Why do they make garages so small now!?  3 stall attached but the yukon xl and excursion will fit by maybe 2 inches. 

    Maybe 2 years and maybe 10.  I can easily AirBnB the two houses and apartment at the family business and more than pay for this one.  Currently all unoccupied (after I move).

    Some cash. Will refi if they drop 1/2% or more which is what "they" feel will happen by June-ish.  Also, wife being content outweighs interest.  Market by me is still really hot.  My wife is in Cali right now.  Did the closing all remote.

    @kl8ton very cool!  I agree with you, when an opportunity strikes, you have to jump.  Maybe folks will get back to buying a house because they love it, instead of trying to get rich off it.
