thought iwas the only person around (cricket sounds)
seriously, wife has gemni, can't beat the specs. led is like daylight. spotlight never gets used

my old petzl great for paralyzing night critters at 300ft. otherwise sucks and blinds anyone else who gets my attention or i try to look at and talk.

heard petzl duo led "waterproof, halogen not adjustable.
tryin to get veteran info b/4 i dump my cash.

Aurora is my new light of choice. Before that, a single LED Princeton Tec keychain light (still comes along as a back-up). Before that, a Petzel Micro (loaner light). Before that, a AA Mag light (loaner light). Before that, a double D $1.99 special with the S-O-S button. LOL!

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention the 15W halogen Night Rider. Talk about bright. Sure is nice for lighting up wildlife at night. Basically overkill, tho..

rosey-m
get around offtrail ok w/that?

have to admit, i sit up alone and use led, but then i swing the halogen at anything i hear that is out of it's range.

i'm afraid of the dark, alot of dangerous squirrels at night ya know

may just get the petzl. no good reviews on it to be found.

my band/s name is Group Therapy & we play classic rock stuff, SRV, hendrix, clapton, satana, beatles, stuff like that. we play bars so we always pick danceable songs. i'm kinda lookin for a new band though, i want a better singer with a smaller ego.

There's really not a good thread for this, so I guess this one is as good as any...

Not five minutes ago, I turned on the tube just in time to see Angelique take a chunk out of Barnabas.

Talk about your vintage moments from 1967!!

LMFAO!
i am practically unoffendable, so ya'll dun need to apologize for havin a good time at my expence.....






thankx for the tip tilt, now i know yer weak spot, lmao!





mullet? oh i gotcher mullet.....







joe cocker? dam, i wish! see, he's got the right idea, i play like there's nobody watchin, and i always tell myself before a gig....., play like yer never gonna get to play again. that's my thang. i've had peeps tell me there's better guitar players around but they'de rather watch me play cuz the other guys dont get into it. i once heard eric clapton in an interview where he said....i'll never be a great "technician" so i have to play with as much feeling and emotion as possible to keep up. music to me is emotion via sound.....
