This one's a good one: On the way back from a friend's place last night at about 10pm, and we stop for a sheep on the road. After waiting around for a few minutes and watching the three other cars nearly swerve off the road because of it, we decided we had to stay around and get it at least over a fence. So we give the local cops a call, it is only a small town so they are the obvious choice for a runaway sheep. Half an hour later they rock up, and we spend another 20 min trying to corner the crazed sheep, before we can drag it through a nearby gate. The cops leave and we go to head home after nearly an hour of waiting around, but the battery had died from having the lights on all that time. By this point its past 11, so we wake up a friend in the nearest town to jump start the car. That takes another 15 minutes, and then it turns out the lever to open the bonnet has broken off again. Luckily I was able to dismantle it and pull the cable through with my wave, we got the bonnet open, the car going and finally went home.

One thing that was weird was how eerie it is to be by a country highway with no light late at night. With the stars and the silence, you could easily imagine you were in the outback, but every 5-10 minutes a car would come flying past inches from us at 100k

You had nothing to fear.  It's not as though you were going to get hacked up by a guy in a hockey mask with a machete.  Unless of course you or your mate happened to be a blond in a tight fitting, sky-blue, baby-doll nighty.  If you were I'd rather not hear about it.

Forced and posed shots.  Had been a LONG time without my LM so needed excuses to use it.

I used my Crater blade yesterday to open up a new bag of cat food.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I used the pliers on the Rebar to open my locker at work.  The handle has become tight lately and the pliers made short order of getting it open for me.

My Camo Blast was tight on one handle, with the siscors, can opener, and Philiips screw driver impossible to be pulled out normally. A pair of Skeletool CX and Juice SC2 came to the rescue. I found the small, thin pliers on these two perfect to hold on to the knurled screws. Half a turn was enough to solve the problem.

You can only apply so much pressure on these pliers, so the knurled screws are safe.

Used the ST300 to change out a control station and a coil cord on some doors I was servicing today.

I used the LM Wingman and a cheap chinese MT to unscrew and put a clip from a folder I had into my LM Blast.





As I always carry clipped and loved the Blast, I decided that if it had a clip it'd be carried as the other MTs I have on my rotation.



Gotta try this one for a week!

My toys:

MTs: Surge (2x), Skeletool CX, Rebar, Blast, Fuse, Micra, Squirt (3x), Wave, Crunch, Mini, Spirit (2x), Pro Scout, MP700 (2x), Diesel, Powerlock, PowerPlier (2x), PocketPowerPlier, Blacktip , ST6 (2x), 5WR, A100

SAKs: Bantam, Executive, Ambassador, Minichamp, Classic Alox, Champion, Farmer, Explorer, Swisschamp, Golf Tool, Wenger Champ, EVO 52, Pocket Tool Chest

I used the scissors on the PST II to cut some papers up that I was getting rid of.  Next to the Wenger scissors, these guys are my favorites!!

I used the file saw on the Rebar to cut the head off of a nail that came thru on one of my projects, the saw to do a quick cut on a 1x6, and the pliers to pull a bent nail.
