I’m more than happy to chip in something. Justin shares so much that it is a GREAT idea to give a little back. I like the PPal idea so he can get what he wants. Dan.
I'm in! Just let me know what the plan is. Maybe we just send him money so that he can buy his misses something nice for Christmas and he can continue his modding.
How about one of those a Spy pocket lights jobs. I dont own one but i think that's a torch he can appreciate. Or how about one of these? Im sure he can mod a Nichia 219 into this baby
I think the one above is $30 bucks…
How about this little potential beast. Rustoleum & 100w HID
I see a potential thrower here. The kind thrower that can run with Big Boys

If Justin gives the green light i’ll paypal a little something so he can get what he wants, might be cooler to consolidate the funds than him receiving 78 flashlight hosts, just sayin…
I was just thinking about that very thing late last night. Lumatic, do you really want us to “spam’’ you with PMs…let us know. I’d help where I can for sure.
enough was that I made-up a personal gift for him even though it’s small in nature and expense. So I’m presenting this as an individual endeavor. I don’t wanna get spammed either (not that I consider them spam in the usual negative way) with PM’s because everyone ultimately has their different idea of what to get him and for me to ‘corral’ folks into some concerted deal, well it just isn’t my thing.
So my suggestion is that ya PM him for his address and apply your own personal touch. But OTOH if some of you wanna get together and do your own thing as a group-buy then hey I think that’s a fine idea too.
Either way all these gifts no matter what they are and the thoughts behind them ultimately reflects each individual’s appreciation of him, the time he takes, the hard work, and the teaching he gives us. To me that’s what it’s all about.
I don’t want to crash Lumatic’s thread here… But lets DO IT! If we can agree on the PPal thing…or any other good idea thrown out, I’ll make the first transfer to kick it off!! doit doit doit!!! :exmark:
All we need is Justin agreement.
His paypal is : valleau (insert the @ sign here) suddenlink.net

Awe heck, we don’t need his agreement…… It’s a gift. My guess is if we do it… he will like it…and have fun spending it!!!
Dan.
OK… I just made the first transfer to Justin’s PPal account… Let’s keep it going….
Who’s next?? AIN’T THIS FUN!!! No one more deserving!!! Besides… in another thread he says he’s out of copper disc!!! Ha!!
THANKS LUMATIC for having this thought!!!
Dan.
Edited the spelling!!!
see, this here is the kind of things that keep me hanging around here
Lumatic: sorry about the excess of enthusiasm. I honestly hope I didn’t get your message box full of crackpot (or not so) ideas.
In my defense, I was being temporarily stupid.
Hey some folks here think I’m the KING of stubid.

Hey....(light bulb, incandescent :beer: ) Secret Santa - For big Boys - we all list our names and Joe Led can pair them at random and PM the address to send a gift to.. We can make the spending limit i.e $15 (arbitrary number) Gift should /must consist of an LED or a complete torch..the rest is on the honer system..
Well, the 3rd party has arrived. I told the Lunatic Lumatic that I would not post, but I feel I need to. I hope everyone takes this post in a good way.
First of all, let me say that the fact you all are wanting to do something nice for me is very, very kind and I am very deeply touched at the thought.
Second, let me say that it is also very embarrassing for me to be the subject of a thread like this, no matter how well intentioned it is. It's my upbringing I guess, but it is very hard to let this thread go on this way, as I feel like things like this should be in private (PM's), not in public view. I am not saying you are wrong, just that it's wrong for me, we are all different and I'm not trying to slap anyone in the face, I'm just expressing my thoughts.
I do want to thank all of you for thinking of me and it is something I never sought after or even saw it coming. It is very kind of all of you.
Justin
