Love the doggy sun lounger. 

I’ve had it for several years, just replaced the top piece a couple times.  Fisher loves lounging on it when it is sunny.

Day 23

New lighter day.  Just got this Douglas Field S fluid lighter from Japan, and really like all the finer details they have for this trench lighter.  It has o-ring for all the sealable places, including the spark wheel, wick, and fuel tank.  I won't call this waterproof but it seems quite rainproof as is.

I have been eyeing one of those for a while.  I’ll be interested in knowing if the o-rings help prevent evaporation.

Day 22 (make up)

Got a new gadget today, and usb-c cigeratte lighter.  All I need to do is to connect it to a power bank and press a button, the metal piece inside will glow red hot and ready to lit anything I place inside the ligther.

Reminds me of old car cigarette lighters

Absolutely, pretty neat features with the removable sparker and refillable!

I have loved Clipper lighters for both those reasons. 

Although, they changed the spark wheel a few years ago so the edges aren’t round but more star like.  I can see it making it easier to spin in wet or cold conditions, but have also. Found they tend to wear and lock-up easier now. 

I have also recently had an issue with the refill pin on a couple of my full-size Clippers being too big for the tip on my butane bottle.  I don’t have enough to know if this is a common problem, but it is a little frustrating.

Day 23

Sportsman wasn’t used today. I was at the dinner with the team so I took this picture. The team consists of young kids. When they saw me taking the picture they got quite excited about it


Hope this color matches

Just came across this club (not a member, myself).  Should probably be added to the list:

Taking my homebrew alox rambler for a spin. It’s no longer on my primary vehicle’s keys, but I swapped it on for the day.

Edged Tools / Re: Case Knives

« Last post by IMR4198 on Today at 07:56:12 PM »

   I bet that old Case was used to cut twist.  Tobacco is tough on knife blades.  I think a 6347 was the last Case Stockman that I ever owned.  I bought one for Dad.  He had to have stainless.  Unfortunately, he could never keep anything and next thing I knew he had sold it to someone.  I scouted around and found one more.  It cost $11 at the time.  Way less than list, but I knew a guy.  I told him that he couldn't sell it because it belonged to me.  Carry it.  Use it.  Can't sell it.  He agreed.  About the time he retired, he had started carrying a Vic Tinker some.  He said one of the guys at work (someone he always complained about) said he wanted Dad's Case when he retired.  I said, "No way does Jim get MY knife.  I already told you the deal."
    Dad's gone.  Case is gone.  I still have the Tinker.  Somehow I always felt like a jerk for taking the Case back.  Best wishes.  G
