Snow expected tomorrow, so I had to make sure the feeders were full. Lyndax did a great job opening the thick plastic bag:

Good and compassionate use! 

Hope your Achilles tendon is not hurting too bad, maybe some insoles could help ease the pain?  I sworn by the Superfeet blue insoles where a lot of thru hikers used to use.

I injured my ankle during a hike sometime last year, at first I didn't think much of it, but it literally took me couple months to fully heal.  I used to heal like a Wolverine, but nowadays the healing time was so slow that was ridiculous.  The moral of the story is not to get hurt in the first place.

Day7

No use...but learned a new trick.
I was watching Townsend's Youtube channel build a 1700s log homestead. Now his idea for this isnt a final cabin but the 1st temporary home a settler would build to last a few years while establishing a homestead. Because of this there are no surviving examples and few detailes; so its an experiment.

Here is his video with a lot of good axe work


Now while watching this I noticed he was using the ballance point of a strait hafted axe to act as a visual level and verify the straightness of the walls. Since I was hanging floating shelves they made a great refrence to test this.

I used a coustom tomahawk made by an old friend. The handle is just a rough chunk of 1×2 oak I rounded off and stuck on it. I picked this one to test because of that straight oak handle.
I used to be a lot of things, and someday will again.
But for now I'm just a lost jack of trades with neither mastery nor home. ~NoaIsumi

Mundane use today.  Wife is nagging me about mooncakes expiring soon in fridge, so used my Chip Chop No1 to cut open two for breakfast.

Day 7

Used Chip Chop No1 to chop open a young coconut, that's gonna be one of the favorite use of mine.  Most folks will drain the juice out, then chop it in half to eat the meat, that's easy; but I love to chop open it to drink and eat at the same time. 8)

Looks like you did well with your coconut

(I'd be up in the hills today, too, but I've injured an achilles tendon. Instead of hiking, I'm cooking.....which may not have the same results.... :D)
How's the knee(s)?  :pok:

Definetly the top one.

The other is more suited to a cookout...
