There won't be any more Flamed Mini-Mag Lites after the 1st of January..............or much of any other engraving from me !!
Decided 20 years of doin em is long enough..... Like the big MAg-Lites.....they'll probably become some kinda collector item or something.....cause a lot of people already have one-of everycolor, and size.......... Go Figger....
Like everything else I've ever done.....I got out of hand engraving everything I wanted.......I became the best I can at what I do......Now time to move on down the road to something else.....
Never did any of this stuff to please the world..........only myself. My standards are what count, and as long as I can live up to them everythings good.!!
CJs Engraving is just another chapter in a book...time to turn the page......
If anyone wants any lites or any other engraving.........Better speak up before the 1st.....after that SOL....!!
I may do a piece here or there, if, or when, I feel like it......but only if "I" consider it something fun to do........NO more work ..No more Pressure...!!
If ya want something....Holler now........or forget it...!! cjallan@vci.net
Thanks.......It's been FUN !!
.........cj

So do you have couple of dozen engraved primary covers and assorted decroative pieces to sell in your retirement? You and Joey will still be raising hell in 40 years, what are you going to do in the meantime?

well CJ, at least you've made a decision, more then I could say for myself. I can't even figure out where I'm traveling to today. Living in places like we do are hard on us after we've been all over this freakin planet. Maybe a long time seminar in Hazel or Grants Pass where your daughter can re-vist her school and we can cruise G street on our electric scooters.

Better be careful C.J. every time a tallented guy I know retires he ends up busier than when they wuz werkin' true story... 2 brothers close relatives to me are in the dirt business, one gets badly burned and in the hospital for weeks. I'm in visiting him when his younger brother comes in.... "hey Tom ya think you can stay in another week?"... "Some people think you're gonna die and all the deadbeat customers have been mailing in their checks!" Enjoy your new adventures.... glad to know you'll be persuing new things! GEET
