Assuming these are as bright as last year's - are you sure only 1920 leds will be enough?junglesmacks wrote:Finally ordered my custom PCBs for the full body lightsuit v2.0. Going for a grand total of 1920 LEDs in 8 channels.. fully sequenced up the arms and legs.. plus possible sound reactivity.
A 36 volt Harley 3 wheeler for $200.00. Wheels, body, both seats good. Top canvas needs sewing repair. 3 of the 6 batteries are bad. Came with charger. It's a heavy mother in the back, it took 4 guys to lift it onto my small trailer. When I get it charged up I can just drive it up a ramp. I have a 1k generator to charge on Playa , If I can't hook up to BRC grid somewhere. I've already applied for disability sticker to go with my placard. Time is short if I want to mutate it and send in some photos with the mutant application next week...DMV letters usually come out in August I am told. Even if I get a disability sticker, I will still mutate it and hope to get a mutant sticker too. I can give a ride to one person since it's a 2 seater. Department of Mobility?

I'm thinking of just a simple egg (ovum) shape, or a cell replicating (Mae West) shape. I go to see Doctor Kimberly tomorrow, perhaps she has some literature...

YAY for the ticket!!!KrisMuffin wrote:So excited! Got all this for about $32 bucks! Including a 6pack of super bright mini led flashlights with batteries for $9.99. Good gifts i think. Also, a string of solar powered lights for my bike for $6.00, and 3 led glow sticks like the lifegear ones for $2.34 a piece on clearance, 4 hand towels for $2, my camp cup, and a container for a make my own first aid kit. OH and I GOT MY TICKET! The 2 to 3 hours a day of planning and research will actually be for real, instead of a dream!

As a side note, my BudK catalog lists the LR44/AG13/357 (they're all the same battery, just not standardized to one number yet) button batteries for those things 50 pack for $5.99 and last I checked the sticks take three of them.KrisMuffin wrote:The big box store with a bullseye had tons on clearance.

$2.42 (Orig $4.84)! I have 2 lifegear ones i got from ebay for bit more money, but i know they last a really long time (they have free lifetime batteries too i think). i hope these do just as well! Energizer is a good brand so they should.tattoogoddess wrote:If I was you I would. What did you pay for each one if i can ask?KrisMuffin wrote:The big box store with a bullseye had tons on clearance.

Have you tried those batteries? I'm kinda curious since many of the really cheap bulk pack LR44's have such a bad reputation.Thorormr wrote: As a side note, my BudK catalog lists the LR44/AG13/357 (they're all the same battery, just not standardized to one number yet) button batteries for those things 50 pack for $5.99 and last I checked the sticks take three of them.
Don't know anything about them. Other than I assume about a third of them may be weak. I found the exact same pack of batteries on amazon for less than $3, with shipping comes to $7 ish I think it was. There were two reviews, one good, and one claiming that half the batteries were weak. Rather doubtful someone's going to sit there and test fifty batteries. But if you're running through batteries that fast, it couldn't hurt to give them a whirl at that price point. Worst to worst you can give them away to folks with dead batteries in their glow sticks. I haven't ordered them yet, but my LED poi will be coming from Flowtoys, and they use the AAA NiMHs I already have.Drawingablank wrote:Have you tried those batteries?

I just paid about 25.00 including shipping for 80 of them from a supplier I know has good ones, but would be thrilled to drop the cost if I could find an alternate source.
I go through about 8 batteries a week in my poi and that would be a substantial savings.
Oh I know what you mean, I started wearing shorts as soon as it was warm enough. I try to work up a good freckly tan before I get out there.VultureChow wrote:I sunbathed nude yesterday for the first time. (Alone, in my folks backyard while they're away)
I know it doesn't sound like BM prep work, but as I'm pale as a ghost, I have to work my way up to some color.

I always joked that I don't tan, the freckles just eventually merge together.

Not pictured is the canvas (ordered online, but should arrive with plenty of time before we have a camp painting party), a bunch of colored electrical tape to use for marking the various poles and fittings for the four main structures I'm building, and then a 4'x8' sheet of luan, which I've cut down into smaller pieces for use with the laser cutter at my local tech shop.
