Day 15

It’s not sunny everyday. It rained today however I was really glad because the garden was watered and we collected some more water to our tank…


So I stayed at home all day and used the Sportsman for some cooking. Needed to open a box with cottage cheese first and then chop some fruits for my porridge




In the afternoon some serious office work- opening packages


In the evening I used the tweezers but I don’t have a picture of that…

Day 16

A few drops of oil for the Sportsman.



Here it is with a well carried Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2, and a new Boker Barlow (integral copper and desert ironwood). 🤩

I prefer Victorinox's oil on SAKs, and most back lock or slip joint knives. I think it is because the high friction between the blade and back spring requires a thicker oil to get a smooth operation.

The Nano oil I have is fairly thin, but works well on other types of locks or detent ball/tracks where the friction is not so high.

Day 15

Nothing to report today. The Sportsman was not required at T-ball practice….

I am often too lazy to walk a few steps to get the oven mitts , so I would use my pocket knife to handle items that are too hot to touch. In this case, after toasting bread in the air fryer, to pull the wire grid out, and nudge the toast onto a plate.



Working from home today, my lunch was: smashed avo, juice of a leftover lime, basil pesto, a dollop of mayonaise and S&P all mixed together on buttered toast, and a marmalade toast on the side, because why not?  And rooibos tea.

Another case of plastic fall damage fixing. This time my Blender bottle. I need to stop dropping things
