Hello all, I was introduced to LPF with a welcoming note from Sumfinclever in my email this morning. I'm not sure how all of this posting and making new threads works, still trying to figure it all out! So, with that being said I will try to be short, and give a brief intro of myself. Im not big on or into social media, I do have a Twitter account , but that's about it... I live here in MD, I work in Medical Imaging as a Radiographer/MRI Tech , Im the one that takes your X-ray , or performs your MRI exam, not a Dr!! lol. I listen to Alt. Rock and some other stuff, depending on my mood, I love to go to live concerts! Most of the bands I like usually tour to a lot of the venues w/in about an hour or so from where I live. I also play the Drums, although im not the greatest, I took lessons 10 or so yrs ago for about 2 yrs, and have stuck with it! just for fun and a release... its a great feeling to sit down at my set and forget about everything and play away!!!
About 4 yrs ago I started playing Disc Golf, and fell in love with it the first time! I play in local sanctioned and non sanctioned PDGA tournaments throughout the season.. YES, the Professional Disc Golf Assoc. is a real thing, you should check it out. DG gets me outside, not that I need an excuse, it good times with friends and good exercise. I also play many sports, activities, I grew up being an athlete. I have a few drones, DJI phantom 3 and Mavic Pro.
Well this has become longer than intended.... hahaha, so now onto my recent re-obsession, if that's a word?, with lasers...
I have ALWAYS been attracted to bright/shiny things, for some reason I have always taken a liking to bright/colorful and loud things, prolly why I like the drums and rock music as well. I bought a few cheapies over the years, and then moved on to bigger and better(higher mw output) about 10 yrs ago, when I purchased my first high output (supposedly) 1W 445nm Blue laser from wicked lasers! Boy I was excited!!!! I took me awhile to justify spending 300$ on something that first of all, I was mostly embarrassed to tell or show anyone because no one I know could understand why some one like me would want a 1W laser. "what the hell are you gonna do with that" is what I would hear, and to be honest, there are not many things to do with a true burning laser.... For me it the beauty of the beam, not really the aspect of burning. So I kinda keep most of my lasers in a box under my bed, and take them out from time to time to enjoy the visual aspect and beauty!!! That was 10 yrs ago, shortly after that I bought a WL 532nm pen style 200mw pointer, then I found O-like Lasers online and proceeded to get one of their (I believe) 750mw 445nm and a 520 or 525nm 400mw green with both being same style hosts with adjustable focus.
honestly and sadly for the last 9-10 yrs they have lived under my bed in a box... but recently I started my obsession... and lets just say, I have spent WAY TOO MUCH on handheld lasers for the last 3 months.... im addicted again... I visited Sanwu lasers online one day, after doing some minor research on the best lasers to buy now a days, and lets just say my collection has gotten outta control!!!!
so hear I am, now I have joined LPF, im checking some things out in the forums, and trying to learn some things. Not sure if I'll ever be the type to build my own handheld laser (I have thought a lot about it tho) there would have to be a lot of research before that happens, because I have always liked to take things apart and repair stuff (or try to) like electronics or what ever, im kinda a self proclaimed handy man... so LPF would be the place I would def. be able to find what im looking for...
whew.... and to think I wasn't gonna do this today...
thanks for reading!
