I love ice cream and will eat it any time of year and multiple times a week.

The Ben & Jerry slices are too good, like a Klondike bar with Ben & Jerry ice cream in it.

 :D  Ben & Jerry is good, I remembered getting ice cream in their shop and that's one of my favorite past time.







Ahhhh.....I have tried Pu'er (Puerh) tea! The name has positive associations, but I don't recall a specific flavor. Sadly, I haven't had that for a long time. Perhaps I'll give it another try.   :tu:


:cheers:  It's not a very strong tea, subtle with a distinct favor, definitely worth another try. :tu:

Day: 19


Went for a good hike in the mountains today. Just what the doctor ordered!  :tu: 

No uses for the Explorer, but it was a nice companion to have along. The Explorer is definitely a SAK I could (and have) EDC, but for woods walks, I think I'd have liked to have a saw along.

Any day hiking is always a great day!  :cheers:

I do agree with you on this, my go to is always the 111mm One hand trekker for the outdoor.

Day 19

The corkscrew helped loosen a very stubborn and tight knot, also cut up a pear for an evening snack.
Some very good usages there!

Explorer helped make a snack when I realized I hadn’t eaten yet.

Day 19. I used the hook to carry a gallon paint bucket with water in it (I learned today from my folks that pouring water in the soil surrounding a stuck post helps loosen it up; saves me from dragging around a Hi-Lift jack and chain), and the blades for quite a bit of cutting.

Good usages today. :like:

The wife is feeling a little better, not all the way healthy yet. She’s tough, she’ll get better soon.

Well, the Explorer saved my bacon tonight. Actually, my glasses. Nearly lost one of the screws holding a lens in. If I’d had ANY of my other regular carry SAKs, I’d been screwed.

With the Explorer I have plus scales and the eyeglass screwdriver in the corkscrew. Fixed my glasses in a jiffy!!

Sorry, no pics...

And in general, that's exactly the reason I've found myself converting from Phillips to corkscrew. I never threadlocked (or had the optometrist threadlock it) this particular pair of frames, and the frame pops apart quite regularly. But at least this pair of frames is guaranteed indestructible, so I'm not getting rid of them. So, having a tool that can quickly fix my glasses wherever I am is key.  While going bladeless, at least the LM Style PS flat Phillips also fits my glasses.   One pair I looked at (prescription safety glasses) used what appeared to be a 0 Phillips instead of the common flat headed screw. For that, I'd guess you'd need an SAK with the 58mm combo tool or a CyberTool.

Same here!  I'm up the creek without my specs :facepalm:
Day 20 already!  Just a vanity pic with a pipe from my son, who picked it up in Panama.  It's purportedly of Cuban origin, and smokes fairly well.

It took me like 4 or 5 years to get over a pipe. Especially when it was steak dinner! Or the holidays.  :cheers:
