Good luck Pman. Please keep us posted on how you're doing. Thoughts and prayers go out to you, hopefully the pain killers are working and that the docs get the stones taken care of soon.
EDIT: It took me that long to write my post!? Good to hear that you're on your way out.
Mattronium is the one I was trying to get the address from (not Anth). Sent a couple PMs over a couple days but no response He's the only one missing.
I am home and when I have to pee (which is constantly) it feels like urinating razor blades Have to call the doctor on Monday to make an appointmet for him to pull out the stint that goes from my bladder all teh way up to inside my kidney. Geuss how they get it out....
On a side note, I only saw my surgeon for a moment so never got to ask him about the laser he used to break the stone into pieces LOL
By the way, my wife shipped ALL packages today at about 11 AM USPS priority mail
Was going to try to surprise people as all except one were ready to ship Friday before being rudely interupted by the ambulance taking me to the hospital. Everyone but gismo should get their lights in a few days.
Not sure how shipping to Ireland works. Used the flat rate boxes and they were all $5.80 each other than gismo which was $23.95. It's "PMI small flat rate box" but I don't know if it still gets sent pretty quick or not overseas. Anyone know?
Update
gismo says he will have his in a week.
Looked at the receipt and it says that 8 of you are supposed to get your stuff Wednesday and 1 on Thursday.
"""The Pman has discovered another way to build the "Pman special" with all Fasttech parts instead of the Walmart light***
Feeling way too sick right now to reveal though....
This is an UltraFire C3 Q5 5-Mode LED Flashlight with Extension Tube from Fasttech for about $12
You can buy the light with or without the extension tube but you can also just buy the extension tube for $2.34
Remove the clicky from the B68 and put the extension tube between them.
Perfect color match
I will say that the threads aren't an absolute perfect match but it all goes together so well and tight that it may as well be especially after cleaning off the paint. If I had known this before yesterday, I would have bought a bunch of those extensions and sent them out with the packages so you could have this option too. Fasttech has no minimum order $ limit for free shipping so it's not like the cost of buying an extension should be an issue for anyone
Also, you can add more extensions if you want so you could run the laser off of regular AA batteries.
Could build a unit and just change the bottom piece out in a second so it's all good.
An Awesome mod! More Pman Awesomeness Surprised me that the different lights fit together so well. Opens a lot of doors for potential custom hosts. Great find :beer:
Why thanks Sir Lazerbeak
My best friend on the forums is Lazerbeak so I'm giving him an honorary knighthood LOL
His package is different from everyone else and he will continue to be the recipient of the Pman insanity whether he likes it or not He sent me some things that absolutely stunned me especially because I am not accustomed to being on the receiving end. I am still in shock from it all months later every time it enters my mind. BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, he is a wise and kind friend and there is no "giving" that can match that. It's not fair that I can't REP him what he deserves in the forums.
Just put in all the tracking numbers and it looks like 8-9 should be delivered today.
just got mine out of the mailbox! thanks again Pete.
You know theres not a whole lot of people that would take the time and cash and help 10 people they don't even know. Im so happy I found this new hobby and the great people in this forum.
hope your feeling better pman , and thanks so much again
I may have added a few things besides the 2 lights....
Remember when you build or take things apart to save all the other stuff! Never know when you could use pieces/parts from other things. Before you know it, you've got lots of "stuff" to work with and everything gets easier.
Any questions, ask away
