Thank you all for the kind words.  Riding on two wheels is a lot of fun.
Day 30, but I still have 4 days to go since I messed up on day 4.
Here's my Camper next to a tool some of you folks were talking about and I have to try it out myself.  I'm always in the market for something small that doesn't take up a lot of room on my motorbikes.


And since we're on the subject of tools, I have this cool wrench inbound.
It has 10mm, 12mm, 17mm and 24mm:


That Topeak and the other wrench should come in handy. There is nothing like having the right tools available when you need them.

I hadn't either until a guy at a bike rally showed it to me.  It's made by Honda Motors, has "HM" imprinted on it.  Cool that it covers 4 sizes of bolts.

Yep, cool motorbike tools and earthquake preparedness are two of my weaknesses, along with SAKs of course.
Day 31...going to 34 for the badge.

Bought a gently used Goal Zero Yeti 400 Solar power generator to play/experiment with.  I realize it's way cheaper to build these items from scratch, but at least this gets me dabbling in it at a reduced cost initially since I bought used.  It also came with a 90 watt solar panel.

The Generator is actually a battery and inverter in one unit.
I'm kind of new at this, but from what I understand the sun goes into the solar panel, then that electricity has to go somewhere for storage, and that's where the battery comes into play.
It holds the electricity until I start to use it by plugging something in.
What is nice is there is no gas engine, like the generators I grew up with, just silent battery that is safe to use indoors according to the literature on the packaging.

Thanks all!
Day 32, need 34 for the badge.
Here are two multi-tools that can pretty much help me out of most situations of getting to the carburetor or changing a flat tire on my motorbike.

Day 33 out of 34!
Dilemma....someone from eBay sent me some extras along with some nice Victorinox knives I bought....I don't want to seem non-appreciative, but what am I supposed to do with these?
The quality is seriously lacking.  I'm thinking I'll just toss 'em in the bin.  What to do?

Knives like that make you appreciate the quality of a Victorinox knife.

You could keep those as examples of cheap quality knives to show someone who is just learning about knives, so that they can learn to tell the difference.

Tomorrow is the big day for your badge!   :like:

Day 34 of 34!!!  Which gives me 30 consecutive days.  :cheers:
Ending this run for the badge with a shot of two of my favorite things.  My SAK and my 1982 Honda CT110.  Both are reliable, red and can handle most tasks thrown at them.



Some closing thoughts:
What I liked the most about my mod is that it has many of the tools that I use on a daily basis. 
I used the magnifier a lot more than I thought I would. 
I like scissors in a knife and I didn't know what I was missing all those years that I carried my Camper.   :think:
The main blade is used a lot for package and letter opening.  I'm on the fence about the Combo tool....I think I may prefer the combo layer instead. 
I think I will prefer the new Victorinox with the locking can opener, so I might start carrying my Evo 18 or something similar.
I really long for a pry tool within a SAK.  I'm prying a lot.  Things around me are stuck all the time.  Probably has to do with having old motorbikes.  Things seem to need scraped off or pried open on them.  This is why I think the Evo might work, since it will lock as I pry.
I missed carrying one of my vintage knives that GigaHz resurrected for me.  I'll be carrying it now too within my rotation.  :tu:

You all urging me on was awesome, sure did appreciate that!  :cheers:
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.
