If you eat a big plate of scrambled eggs or roasted chicken while walking through a flock of geese they will leave you alone and get out of your way because it lets them know the extent of the violence you are capable of.
 :hatsoff:
I bet you $5 instead of walking away, they will show you what real violence is. >:D :D


That Ostrich was really moving    :o
No kidding right?! :ahhh


EDC 20:

(Day 20 already!   :ahhh )


Early in the day, the BAK cut open the plastic strapping on a gift box of fruit, sent by Mrs Nix's sister. Such a sweetie!


(Image removed from quote.)



Later the same BAK got used (after being wiped clean) to open bananas for use in banana bread.


(Image removed from quote.)



The banana bread smells amazing!  I made it more like a cake than a loaf of bread.....'cuz Mrs Nix likes it better this way.  Good news: I have been re-promoted to "Better Than Useless" [BTU] husband status again.

So far the holidays are going really well for me!   :D
How does this system work?  Does the score reset itself every week?  I thought you were already promoted to BTU couple pages back?  :whistle:


Day 20
No real use of the edc today, but the Yeoman was hanging out with my snowman

Nice pix!  This year we have no deco in the apartment, the little guy is curious about everything, and just in case he wants a bite of the Christmas tree or Santa...

Day 21:
Guppie trimming the top of our Christmas tree.

Day 21


Mountaineer helped cut a piece of lemon early in the morning for making lemon water.  Supposedly good for liver and the system.


Midday I tried to practice taking apart and putting together my bracelet, and got to admit I really didn't get to practice much at all with the rope this month.  Working at home while having a toddler couple of feet next to you make it pretty much impossible to keep his little hands off the rope.


Little guy did get a hold of my flashlight and play with it after sunset, he was rather curious to see a 'light' inside a small device, and keep calling 'lights'(how he call the ceiling lights).

Day 21
The battery pack of my bike light died. It lasted over 4 winters and a hundred something charges.

The case is water proof, sealed and sold as is.
I wanted to open it, remove the dead batteries and maybe replace them with new ones if it makes sense.

Here's the dirty rig...



And the battery pack...



I've used the Spirits can opener to carefully open the  "can"...





The Spirits pliers couldn't get enough grip to pull out the battery pack! I've made some sparks as well while trying! Cool  :tu:

Mini Cobras (100mm) did the trick then...



Job done. The case could be reused if I can find 6 18650 cells cheap enough to justify that. Probably not  ::)

And the old cells can be recycled properly now  :tu:

How does this system work?  Does the score reset itself every week?  I thought you were already promoted to BTU couple pages back?  :whistle:



The management seems to have a fickle sense of recall. And field demotions are more common than promotions....often triggered by the arrival of the postman......  :facepalm:

EDC 21:


The 58 liberated a larger cousin from it's bubble wrap. Despite the bubble wrap envelope, the box got a bit mashed, as you can see. But the SwissChamp came through its ordeal like a...Champ.

Hello day 21.
Mystery package opening time !
A stash of goodies from one of my suppliers it seems.
 The right thing would be to share around the office but as as i am so very busy I may wait till later after work to see if there any takers.  If not home it will have to go. Sounds fair to me.

 :cheers:
Semper Sitienti !!

Nobody will want any of that stuff.

I'd just bin it....or take it home so nobody has to clean it up later.....  ;)

DAY 21 

Bit of a late finish again today. Lots of chaos at the airport with all the flight bans from the UK  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

As it was a work day no actual use, apart from the phone which I suppose does count  :dunno:

So, in addition here's a glamour shot of the glasses, watch and FX lounging around at home  ;)

I'll try and get round to reading all the other posts as soon as  :tu: 
They don't like it up 'em!

Day 22

Just phone use so far.

Bantam and slug, I somehow find them good looking, well for a slug :pok:

Remind me of the nudibranch you see scuba diving



And Coco of course

Nice shot of Coco. That's exactly how I felt today too. :D
Day 21
Potting some cuttings today I used the saw from the Sidekick to scrape some of the bark off the cuttings before planting them. New roots will grow from the white layer under the bark, but you have to be careful not to expose too much or cut too deep.
