Random Thought Thread

[olbriar]

I had a strange dream last week about a nice Maglite that was rechargeable. It sets in a mounted charging cradle and mounts in an auto. It is old school and old tech but a great tool. (light or club) I had it mounted in a number of different trucks though the years but never mounted it in my 2014 Ram that was totaled a couple of years ago. In the dream, I was mounting it in my current truck. I very rarely remember dreams and I haven't seen or thought of the flashlight since 2014. I decided that I should take heed and find the light, put it back into working order, and mount it in my truck. I looked in all of the better places for the flashlight but couldn't find it. Today, while looking for something else, I found the flashlight behind and underneath all sorts of stuff in my 4' Liberty safe. I mounted it in my truck and need to purchase new rechargeable batteries for it.
Is that random?

The ancient battery pack wouldn't stay charged so I ordered a new one from Amazon. It's amazing how much support and upgrades are still available for the Maglite. I could upgrade to a LED bulb and reflector lens, I found a number of vendors selling the battery pack, and the charging cradle can still be had. On reading if the old lights have a value and the answer is no. I guess every squad car in America had this Maglite mounted in it a couple of decades ago.
