While not me exactly, my BO Wave did get used today... LOL

My 18yr old son's girlfriend decided his scraggly facial hair needed work. So she borrowed my Wave and used the scissors to do some trimming!  Hahahahaha!!!!

It'll need a good cleaning when she's done!!!!!  LOL

Got back from playing with the drone, was happily editing the footage and BOOM. Blue screen of death and messages about talking to dealers  >:(


Fortunately I have backups, but they are on a network device that my backup software's recovery disk can't access - grrr. So I've used my Charge to get into my PC to connect a disk with a backup image on it. I should really be sleeping!


Restore software is currently checking the backup image and taking a long time about it :





I'm off to bed and worry about it in the morning.

Finally got to point where I could disconnect the temporary HD and screw the case cover back on. Job done (with the Charge again) :)

Mrs. TJ and myself put in a window a/c unit for our first floor on Monday night and all the screws were put in using my C33T  :tu:
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

  Toilet repair. Even used the awl to remove a line seal so could replace the leaky bugger. No wet floors now.

No pics, but used my ST300 to fix a toilet. The lever on the handle broke off. So I used the awl to bore a hole and run a screw thru the end of the lever and into the handle.

Then used pliers to remove the chain to the flapper and rework it. Now toilet flushes like a dream!!

I was vacuuming earlier tonight and the prongs on the plug for the chord was a little bent. I took out my crunch and bent them back into place.

Used my Wave and bit kit to work on my AR BCG. Had some serious BCG failure at the range today. Was quite disappointed.

Been pulling serious long days getting stuff and setting up for a very complicated wedding. My long time girlfriend's sister is getting married so guess who gets to do all the running around and heavy lifting. Used both my st300 and charge all day for all sorts of stuff! No time for pics though :( tonight was the rehearsal dinner at a brewery, which everyone was invited to so that was some work. Tomorrow is the wedding at a college campus chapel and a reception at the local art museum, all of which we have had to and still have to set up. Then the next day we give girlfriends extended family tours of the house that we have half moved. Sorry for the off topic post! Been away from the forum all day so I had to say something! Did use the LMs countless times today though

My wife destroyed the Cybetool I bought for her (cutting wire with the scissors) so I donated her the Juice Pro for fixing her jewelry. I also put the Surge in my new car's glove compartment. It was tiring to EDC it (as I did when I bought it as my first LM) but the car will carry it for me now.

Bad deal about the Cybertool Kkokkopolis :-\ The Juice Pro may be better suited for needs :cheers:

Are you going to have the Cybertool fixed :think:

Of course. I just need to sharpen the dented scissors.
Kkokkopolis is the town where lots of kkokkolis live. There is such a village in Kephalonia island, called Kokolata, but we didn't establish a city yet.  ;)

I used the Philips head on my C33t on Friday to disassemble a co workers keyboard so he could clean it. I've never seen so many tiny screws in my life!

Yesterday a pipe outside of our house that empties out what the sump pump in the basement was out of line so I used the Crunch to pull some zipties tight through the broken strap that originally held it in place. I also used the blade to bore out one of the holes bigger so that the ziptie would go through it. Mrs. TJ was watching since she likes to see mcguyver in action. :D

I was sliding my Micra back into the watch pocket on my jeans, and it slipped open and the scissors decided to draw some blood from my thumb.   :oops:

The surge came out to play to remove the packaging on our new office water cooler, that is also a water boiler.  It was apparently ordered so the people at our end of the office block don't have to walk all the way to the other end where the kitchen is to make hot drinks.

Though there was a  :facepalm: moment when I asked where they would wash their mugs up if they now use this to save the long walk. It gave me a chuckle  :D

Used the file on my Charge to take a little off the pins and bushes of this Vic Compact to fit new scales:



Then a couple of Crunches to apply a bit of pressure whilst the quick-drying epoxy went off:



Seems to have stuck them on well enough, I guess time will tell, lol.
I used to come here a lot.
