May is national modding month

...get out your garden shears and lets start making a mess of lights we'd love to see really shine ..

Yay! -Thought that was every month. Glad it’s finally official.

It is? Ahh man… I though April was that month… Oh well… Its a win win situation! :wink:
More mods to come…

What?

Well I have a modding post coming up then, my latest one should be doing 15,000 lumens. :Evil:

Oh ! How I wish I could mod
Of the skills I've seen here I am awed
I could take any light
And make it just right
By adjusting the parts that are flawed

Oh ! How I wish I could mod
If I did I would look like a fraud
I'm afraid if I try
Some components I'd fry
And my work would be very slipshod

Oh ! How I wish I could mod
And possessed skills that all could applaud
But my lights must stay stock
Just a guy on the block
Some can run fast while I merely plod

Man , I sure wish I could mod ...

All you have to do is think you can

sadly, my finances are shot to pieces, I wont be doing much for a bit, let real world life get back on track.

On a happier note, it was my son lukes first birthday today, that really does not feel like a year since we went into emergency cesarean, thoughts like that put a little perspective on everything else.

Happy modding month everybody :beer:

I got an MKR in a Fivemega in the works.

Happy birthday in advance Luke!

Hope all goes well with you and yours Gords.

cheers Don, he’s had a good day, petting zoo in darwin with bouncy castle rights followed by a kfc tea which he seems to love.

he’s now tucked up in bed sleeping like a little angel.

here he is last week tucking into his first hotdog.

But how much does he sleep?

Never got into breeding myself, but I have a young giant schnauzer that believes (my) sleep is not necessary.

Barking around 4am (for 2-3 hours) is his favourite. About 6 days a week.

he goes to bed at between six and seven with his cow milk, may wake up at some point for more cow, then generally wakes up around seven to amuse dad by attacking mum lol. he’s brilliant tbh, not hard work in the slightest, his brother on the other hand was a nightmare.

I was never into having kids, till I’d lived with my stepson for a year, now, I couldn’t see waking up and not seeing them in a morning, or coming home from work and having them both drop everything to make a fuss of me. :bigsmile:

Great!

I’m jealous.

And keep up the good stuff - kids are where the next generation of flashaholics are coming from :slight_smile: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

their both already addicts and Dylan my stepson will be building his first light once we’ve completed the soldering primer project I got him, a light sensitive robotic bug from maplin. :bigsmile:

I thought November was national modding month? I already feel inadequate…as a modder…that is. Now I have to feel mod-erately challenged two times a year? :bigsmile:

sweet, great reminder of all the things I have to make or mod:

C20 EDC light with Stinkpad
camping lantern Nichia 219 swap
scratch built headlamp with Nichia 219
finish the milling attachment for my “lathe” so I can make a new mtbing helmet light

Hopefully I’ll get at least a couple of those done!
