Day: 13


This has been a good challenge. I'm reminded just how fantastic Swiss Army knives really are. I've carried different knives and tools during different periods of my life, but the ubiquitous Swiss Army Knife keeps finding it's way back.

Today, cleaned the gummed-up seeds out of the bird feeder using the cap lifter. We've had a fair bit of rain lately, more than usual, and the bird feeder got clogged with wet seeds.

A bonus pic today. 

Changed up the Explorer.  I purchased a used Explorer and pair of Aquaflage (Navy Camo) scales for a planned mod.  Not being sure when I will do the mod and it being the Explorer challenge, I decided to put the scales on the the used Explorer today and switch it up for a little while.

What better way to celebrate the putting in use of the knife than opening a couple beers for a blind taste test.

A bonus pic today. 

Changed up the Explorer.  I purchased a used Explorer and pair of Aquaflage (Navy Camo) scales for a planned mod.  Not being sure when I will do the mod and it being the Explorer challenge, I decided to put the scales on the the used Explorer today and switch it up for a little while.

What better way to celebrate the putting in use of the knife than opening a couple beers for a blind taste test.

This has been a good challenge. I'm reminded just how fantastic Swiss Army knives really are. I've carried different knives and tools during different periods of my life, but the ubiquitous Swiss Army Knife keeps finding it's way back.

Today, cleaned the gummed-up seeds out of the bird feeder using the cap lifter. We've had a fair bit of rain lately, more than usual, and the bird feeder got clogged with wet seeds.

Diecast pics!  :pok:

Seems no one has posted to the "SAKs and Miniatures" thread for a long time. I really need to get that thread back going.
This is a Siku I recently picked up. Plenty of opening parts. Chose the side with the extrication gear; which strangely, the 1/1 Sprinter/Rosenbauer 6x6 are not equipped with.  I got back into European brands due to bad local availability (around here, I only have Walmart and Dollar General; everyone else either dropped diecast or closed up shop), but it's changing as it always does when the kids go back to school; as that's when everyone restocks and resets. Bought a ton of stuff yesterday at my local Walmart; and that was with the entire Matchbox Working Parts range stock still in the back (WM said they had 19 online, store only had two).

Day 13. Only used the pen blade opening medicine.

Tank watch, Navy camo scales, Fisher Space pins, fixing bird feeders, die cast cars and lots of good pics I say it’s been a good day. zrxoa1 sorry to hear about you and your wife I hope you and your wife are feeling better soon.

As for me not much going on with my Explorer today. I did put together a Scientist today I made out of a Hiker I bought at the flea market yesterday.

Day 13

Cut a piece of moleskin.  I use it to cover a rough spot on sandal strap.

Moleskin is really one of Hiker's best friends.  :tu:

Seems no one has posted to the "SAKs and Miniatures" thread for a long time. I really need to get that thread back going.
This is a Siku I recently picked up. Plenty of opening parts. Chose the side with the extrication gear; which strangely, the 1/1 Sprinter/Rosenbauer 6x6 are not equipped with.  I got back into European brands due to bad local availability (around here, I only have Walmart and Dollar General; everyone else either dropped diecast or closed up shop), but it's changing as it always does when the kids go back to school; as that's when everyone restocks and resets. Bought a ton of stuff yesterday at my local Walmart; and that was with the entire Matchbox Working Parts range stock still in the back (WM said they had 19 online, store only had two).

Day 13. Only used the pen blade opening medicine.

So grabbed my Explorer for a quickie pic...

Tank watch, Navy camo scales, Fisher Space pins, fixing bird feeders, die cast cars and lots of good pics I say it’s been a good day. zrxoa1 sorry to hear about you and your wife I hope you and your wife are feeling better soon.

As for me not much going on with my Explorer today. I did put together a Scientist today I made out of a Hiker I bought at the flea market yesterday.

Lately with the print on somethings, I wonder if it is just my eyes or if it is getting smaller.  Either way, the magnifying glass can really help.
At our ages...it’s our eye’s getting tired! The magnifying glass is a must have.  :tu:
