Dairyboy-
She is a “cutie”. I know what you mean about them being “your world”, and about growing so fast. Mine are now 22 and 19 years old. Luckily they still like to hang out with olé dad.

Just wanted to say thanks to Michael for talking me into the bottle cap challenge, and a big thanks to AGN and AOA for the goodies. That Zombie is just too pretty to shoot ;-) Love the hat and paper targets. And that screw lid pellet holder is pretty awesome too. Thank you all.

Dairyboy’s daughter just brings a smile to the face! I remember those days, my little boy is now 32! And that sunset is unreal, I can only imagine what it was like to be there and see the whole view. Here’s a cool little rainbow that appeared for a short time during a afternoon shower, I like that the flag is in the picture, on the barn and a little metal one on the fence.

This past weekend I saw my mother for the 1st time since this craziness began. She's in her early 80s and lives where my grandfather did in the past. He was quite the collector and as you go through boxes that had been squirreled away in the barn or shop, you never know what you might find.
Well I found this classic flashlight:
I ask and she was fine having me take it home. During the day I played with it a bit and figured I'd put some new batteries in it when I got home. Before I took out the old batteries from it I gave the lens ring a bit a twist and then flicked the switch on it. My jaw quite literally dropped as it ACTUALLY TURNED ON!
These batteries are certainly NOT original, but they were branded from a local drug store chain that's long been out of business. Yup, I needed to know when they went out of business... I googled it and it was 1997 when Fay's Drugs ceased operation! That makes these batteries probably OLDER than 23-years old!
I know these old bulbs aren't as bright as LEDs and D-cell batteries won't last too long when you actually use them, but I just thought this was SOOO cool and could not wait to share this story with someone. That's for the opportunity here!
These batteries look like they could be just come out of the package. But they have been inside this flashlight for well over two decades which has been in a box in BARN! Talk about being well sealed!
The flashlight on and standing proud with the 23+ year old Fay's batteries!
Update - I did some searches on this and it seems like its an "early" one made by GT Price. I unscrewed the end-cap and even found the red, white, and diffuser lenses!

Great story about the flashlight. I even followed the link to learn more about the origin of the light.

Here are a few of my many hobbies besides airgunning in Alaska... My job and passion is bush flying. I haul people and supplies in and out of bush strips and beaches, as well as taking tourists on bear viewing or glacier flights. In my off time I am either flying out to remote hunting, fishing, or hiking strips, spending time at our cabin that we have been refurbishing over the past 5 or 6 years, or tending to our bee's that we decided to add to the mix this year... Never a dull moment and all of it takes my mind off the ever increasing corruption and political mess were in!

Here's a few of my fav's:
Free diving at Shark's Cove, North Shore Oahu - back when I was conditioned to hold my breath a very long time.
A sculpture on the Big Island, Kona side - volcanic dinosaur.
Great pictures everyone, keep 'em coming!

Wow! Michael how deep is that? Free diving always amazed me. I could once hold my breath for nearly two minutes, but definitely not moving or underwater. Here’s my picture for today. Got up to feed my stray cat this morning and found a bandit! Doesn’t he look friendly?
