As I’m approaching retirement, I am going to have time on my hands. I see that BLF has a tremendous knowledge base from whom I can learn about flashlights.
I’m no stranger to enthusiasts forums, even with flashlight content. I own a couple dozen flashlights from tiny to rather large, both suitable for me as I live an urban life just north of Miami, FL and a mountain man life in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
I am excited because after a bit of lurking, it is obvious that this is where the energy, ingenuity, and vibrancy is when it comes to flashlight tinkering. (and tinkering is what retired people are supposed to do, right?)
Hey there! Welcome aboard!
Welcome MAD777. Remember seeing your handle on the other forum. So I don’t have to warn you about the effect of you being here on your wallet. Enjoy the spirit of a community filled with nice people.
Tinkerers welcome, always room for more mods.
Howdy and welcome.
Welcome! I’m excited to be here too!
Welcome to BLF, Mike! 
Thanks for joining the gang, MAD777!
Welcome to BLF. Enjoy your time here!
Sometimes I wish I was retired, having all the time in the world for the hobby, makes me jealous. But perhaps it is for the better that I’m forced to have a clear and present life next to BLF…
Welcome to BLF, Mike

Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope to contribute a little bit as I learn a lot!
Hi and welcome mad. I’d run for the hills now before this forum spends all your pension.
