Um, the world spins on a different axis than my plans. I did get to give my wife her beautiful little Rose Gold SMini with it’s engraving. She did seem to like it, but in a very short time after I gave it to her the evening of her birthday she got notification that her father had passed away that very day. (literally about the same time she was opening this gift)
We made a 1370 mile run (round trip) to her home place for the funeral, back home in 47 hours. (Yes, I drove 24 hours of the 47, from Friday at 4AM to Sunday 3AM) Both of us are exhausted, the light is all but forgotten given the series of events at the moment. My wife is an LVN, she has a touch of Pneumonia, bronchitis, and strepthroat all at the same time as an ear infection. (she found out all this on Thursday, after her birthday on Wed, got the appropriate shots and prescriptions, and we hit the road at 4AM Fri) It has been a miserable several days. She had lost her voice and had to whisper (against the Dr.s orders) at the funeral, visiting with relatives some of which she hasn’t seen in years.
I will post on the beauty and heft of this gorgeous tiny copper light when more information is garnered…
I have another concern if you wont mind, I noticed my SMini Ti steps down to low mode after running on high for less than a minute and wont go any higher (press and hold or double tapping the power on button will bring it to medium mode for half a second then back to low mode again) unless I turn it off then on, any clue on this?
Yow, that’s rough. The loss, the timing, the mad dash for the funeral, the silence/whispering, and the illness. I hope she’s feeling better now! At least, as much as one can in the circumstances.
I’ve put a small lanyard on mine made out of 2mm leather cord with a few wooden beads and a couple of diamond knots. It gives me just that little bit extra purchase when holding it plus allows me to tug it out of my pocket easily. The clip is very strong - I’d trust if to hang my raggy 100kg backside off it……
Tested it with CR123 and 16340, no issues at all. Ceiling bounce test shows 56lux at start and about 45lux at 90sec mark, and goes to about 40lux at 2min.
Mary went back to work today, she’s very stubborn, still not able to talk but she’s gotten used to whispering. lol The cough has her ribs bruised, and on top of everything else last night she was taking some broken down boxes to a staging area for recycling in our game room and rammed her foot on a little metal cabinet I have a bunch of flashlight stuff in, took a chunk out of the side of her little toe and had it bleeding pretty nice. Like she needed that! lol Of course it was MY cabinet’s fault, static though it was. :person_facepalming:
So guess who’s coughing and on antibiotics now? I don’t care, I’ll mod something anyway… where’s that little Rose Gold beaut?
