They just don't get it. Hmph.

Ok, so I just arrived home after a 3 week holiday, and to my great joy, there was a package waiting for me. It was the 2 backup lights I ordered a while ago. I fantastically ripped the package open, and I ran to my mother with the lights in my hand, screaming "MOM MY LIGHTS CAME!!" And I was jumping up and down frantically, of course. She says something to the effect of "they're just flashlights" and I defend myself, saying "but mom, these aren't JUST flashlights. these are HALCYON MINI SCOUTS!"

Sigh, non-divers just don't get it. But I love them anyway.

Just thought I'd share with others who DO get it. *grins* Yay, I have new lights.

they're expensive flashlights.

Well when your mom gets a new sewing machine, or garden weezle, or whatever, and you are not jumping up and down for joy, remember you flashlight moment!

Actually I'd NOT be that excited over a mini scout. Now a salvo 21w HID, that is something to jump up and down for, at least until I had to pay for it! :lol:

That's just the tip of the iceburg- think of the countless hours of joy you will have tying knots to attach bolt snaps to them.

And just when you think you've had more fun than you can handle, you get to dive with them.

Santa does exist and he wears a red and white drysuit!

[LSDeep]

hope they came in black to satisfy our Dear Invincible Reefwarriors

And additional joy when you test one of them out on a dive and your buddy doesn't even realize that you switched from your primary to a backup because it is so bright.

Congrats. We understand.

Better than my husband, who is still muttering about my f-ing THIRTEEN HUNDRED DOLLAR FLASHLIGHT.

My wife absolutely refuses to release funds for me to buy a can light. The locals over here sell 'em for between $2500 and $3500NZD...
