Thanks Boaz, its nice of you to remember my review after all these years. I was the first to review a C8 equipped with XM-L emitter and it became an instant success, far surpassing everything that came before it, in its form factor. I still gift them often (usually as Convoy’s) and they have become the most ubiquitous 18650 LED flashlights made.
As with most of the people already mentioned in this thread, I own far too many flashlights and gear, so Id like to pass my nomination onto someone who I feel is often overlooked for his generosity and kindness towards others. That person would be sb56637… our beloved Mr. Admin!
BTW, thanks for your generous giveaway and helping to keep the forum exciting.

How so?
In 1938 Madeline left small town just south of Wichita Kansas after her father died during the great famine of 1934. Madeline found work at a small smoke filled diner on the side of the Highway 54 where slinging hash and pouring endless cups of coffee became her lot in life.
Who would suspect that a flat tire, a fallen tree and a ticket for speeding? Could’ve brought two star crossed lovers together on a hot summer evening.
Dale recruited by his uncle Leon who is to deliver an order of anvils to the local hardware store, went out on the road 54 he swerved his uncles truck, trying to avoid a tree in the road. scattering, anvils up and down the road and into the parking lot of the dip in and do diner where Madeline was busily trying to fix the coffee machine. If you had to break down the summer on this lonely stretch of highway the Dip in n Do diner, parking lot was absolutely fortuitous since there wasn’t another payphone for another 50 miles .nothing but buzzards and bleak open sky, stretching out for miles heat, dirt and sand created just to rough up the paint on uncle Leon’s poor truck .
Bobby Joe Ballenger, the local gym teacher who made everyone do more calisthenics and run laps around the track than anyone’s life could ever need had become a local sheriff. Sitting at the counter he stared endlessly into the cup of coffee that Madeline had made without using the coffee maker, yet another failed dismal attempt at pleasing the unplaceable in order to gain that extra seven cents tip.
On this lonely stretch of highway anvil accidents seemed like yet another every day occurrence .like the sun coming up with the old gray dog, digging, pawing at the earth, searching for a long, lost, misplaced bone of years, gone by. Today it was anvil‘s tomorrow it would be more dust, dust and more dust etching the glass of Bobby Joe’s patrol car.
Madeline through the little window that separated the kitchen from the diner first saw Dale enter the diner, distraught disheveled despondent he saw her see him and Bobby Joe, looking up from his caffeine dreams, nervously fidgeting with a battered book of tickets to be given to the judge to make his quota for the week.
A few bad burgers and a bowl of the worst chili east of Omaha later Dale is looking at two tickets in front of him . one from the local sheriff, one from a girl who’s caught his eye on the way in. Billy Joe suggests getting them anvil‘s cleaned up out of the parking lot or there’ll be hell to pay . he’ll be back beating a dog beating that boy And kicking everybody’s butt if this parking lot ain’t cleaned up by the time he comes back for dinner.
Madeline seeing this disheveled woeful beaten beaten down, man, silently, slipped into the booth across from him, taking up the tickets and tearing them up, saying today’s your lucky day bud.
The tire got fixed, the Annville‘s delivered Bobby Joe remembers the day he didn’t get paid and the day Dale and Madeline got married by Reverend Mika add on 54 the church just south of the diner on a rainy day in February half the town attended all 14 of them Bobby Joe included .
They’ll worked for uncle Leon doing bookkeeping and deliveries until dad/Dale took steel from the Anvils and created the first steel belted radial tire. Mom got pregnant with my sister, Becky and me when we still lived on the farm just south of Wichita before pop became famous and we all moved to Akron Ohio. That was a good year when he started working for Goodyear.
What was the question again???
How did mom start this giveaway… I guess by tearing up those tickets and starting a family .
If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be here to do a giveaway.
- None of this is remotely true at all ….
The part of Madeline will be played by Christina Applegate
Dale will be played by Dennis Quaid

Discourse actually has a chat system. It’s just not enabled on BLF.
That’s probably for the best though. I prefer not having chat systems on forums, because we’ve already got the private message system, which does basically the same thing but better.
