Day 08 (continued):

So let me play the Devil's Advocate here.... >:D.....

I realized today that for the past week I've been using the Executive a little bit like a small Stockman.

A Stockman has a long clip blade, usually a spey blade, and often a sheep's foot blade.  The blades on the Executive aren't awl that much different.  And I've been using the Executive more, or less, like a stockman.

So, my question to you guys in the challenge is: why not just carry a small or medium stockman?


 >:D

T & T. Keyring. Nail file. Scissors. Screw driver(s). Sheeple friendliness.

Enough for you?

 :pok: :pok:



 :D :D :D :D

Powernoodle Day 9


I changed a 60 year old light switch that finally croaked, but did have to employ the Explorer Plus to get the connections really tight.

Day 09. Executive paired up with my Spirit today in case I needed to get domestically handy with the pliers. Fortunately that wasn't necessary  :multi:

Day 9: reading one of the books in "The Horus  Heresy" series. Not much use for my executive today I think. Noticed some rust spots on the dragonfly - will look into that later on today

Happy Chuck Yeager Challenge II Day 9!

Lately, I have been receiving daily packages and have multiple orders pending so I expect this trend to continue.  Fair warning, get ready for multiple photos of my Executive used to open packages.  This photo shows the internals of one such package.  I supplement my computer calendar/task management with a pocket Day-Timer for quick reference when I am away from a computer and don't want to take the time to open calendar/task apps on my phone.  I especially don't want to balance my phone in a shopping cart (if something is to fall to the ground, I would rather it be my Day-Timer).  This photo represents Day-Timer inserts for the remaining 5 months of the year and a format that I haven't used in decades.

Day 09 :

Transplanting some small shrubs today.

Small blade opened up a sack of compost to enrich the planting soil.

Day 9

I was walking with my two sons,  and when I was holding the hand of the youngest, I noticed that his thumbnail was broken in the top. With the scissor the problem was solved in a second :). Not pic of the moment, so the Executive posed when returned home.

Day 9 bonus pic.  If I had my thinking hat on, I would have added my Executive to the pic for day 10.  Its an ailanthus webworm moth I saw outside the Powernoodle Compound.  About 0.75" long.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailanthus_webworm

For a moment, I thought you had stolen Mini's Exec.

Not that I would have blamed you.   :rofl:
