DAY 8

So, after another day doing whatever it is I do  :dunno: I got home to find a gift from Her Majesty's Gov't.

So, despite having given me a pay rise this year (and then taking it back by reducing my shift allowances) They have sent me a coin that I can't actually spend  ::)

I should add that it's not just me; we all got the same treatment (read that as you see fit  :whistle: )

Anyway, here's the OHO helping unwrap the new paperweight/table leveller (TBF it is a nice looking coin)
Two images to show both sides.
Can only imagine how hard your job must have been this last year and no doubt continues to be Surge. Congratulations on the coin, at least some small appreciation for it all

Day 9. Phillips use on the chickenhouse door latch.

111mm Challenge Day 9 by cody6268, on Flickr



Also, not pictured is the ton of baler twine I had to cut with the belt cutter. I had to repair the sheep hay feeder (front door, which had been repaired before, after the tack-welded on slot for the catch fell off, had come unwired), and baler twine was all that was available. Had to feed the sheep by hand (bad snow, and I myself can only drive the smaller tractor, which was boxed in by the 5400 I can't drive due to it having a clutch); and I had to pull off pieces of hay from the bales and put it in the feeder. Usually, we get the square bales, but we were given a large amount of round bales.

@alan - thanks for posting that poem, I loved it! Actually I’m a bit shocked I hadn’t read it before. I really like old poems like that, and i do love cigars and women!  He could have mixed in some football...
@surge - that’s a nice recognition of your work, congratulations  :hatsoff:
@echotech, thanks for posting photos of your cases!

and everyone else, nice work!  I’m sorry I can’t spend more time these days. Turns out my 78 yr old mother broke 4 ribs while watching my kids New Year’s Eve and the kids (and wife) are home from school, it’s a bit of a gong show around here these days!

Day 8

The Outrider scissors and corkscrew helped to create a new zipper pull on my pocket organizer.  I did also need needle-nose pliers and wire cutters for the crafting wire I used so the PS Style had to assist.

The last few days have kept me really busy and got me behind on reviewing everyone’s posts, so I am catching up.  There are a lot of great uses and pics so far. I know I won’t have time to comment to all but still wanted to say it’s enjoyable.

Day 9
Using a slightly oversized tool to open pistachio nuts
You gotta use what you have.  At least it worked.

Gotta love government bureaucracy.  But it is a nice looking coin.

I liked the coin giving /swapping in the military.  It is a lot better than plaques, because coins can easily be displayed in a small rack plus they can be fun to fidget with.

Day 8

Sliced up a dinner roll that came with takeout.   :drool:
That does look good.

Freud was attributed with saying "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." possibly around 1920.  He may or may not have said it but it has been attributed to him.  The saying does seem to suggest that sometimes a cigar might represent something else. :dunno:

In 1885, Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called The Betrothed in which he stated "... a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a smoke."

The Betrothed - Rudyard Kipling (1885)

OPEN the old cigar-box, get me a Cuba stout, For things are running crossways, and Maggie and I are out.

We quarrelled about Havanas—we fought o’er a good cheroot, And I know she is exacting, and she says I am a brute.

Open the old cigar-box—let me consider a space;  In the soft blue veil of the vapour musing on Maggie’s face.

Maggie is pretty to look at—Maggie’s a loving lass, But the prettiest cheeks must wrinkle, the truest of loves must pass.

There’s peace in a Laranaga, there’s calm in a Henry Clay; But the best cigar in an hour is finished and thrown away—       

Thrown away for another as perfect and ripe and brown—But I could not throw away Maggie for fear o’ the talk o’ the town!

Maggie, my wife at fifty—grey and dour and old—With never another Maggie to purchase for love or gold!

And the light of Days that have Been the dark of the Days that Are,  And Love’s torch stinking and stale, like the butt of a dead cigar—

The butt of a dead cigar you are bound to keep in your pocket—With never a new one to light tho’ it’s charred and black to the socket!

Open the old cigar-box—let me consider a while. Here is a mild Manilla—there is a wifely smile.       

Which is the better portion—bondage bought with a ring, Or a harem of dusky beauties fifty tied in a string?

Counsellors cunning and silent—comforters true and tried, And never a one of the fifty to sneer at a rival bride?

Thought in the early morning, solace in time of woes, Peace in the hush of the twilight, balm ere my eyelids close,

This will the fifty give me, asking nought in return, With only a Suttee’s passion—to do their duty and burn.

This will the fifty give me. When they are spent and dead, Five times other fifties shall be my servants instead.       

The furrows of far-off Java, the isles of the Spanish Main, When they hear my harem is empty will send me my brides again.

I will take no heed to their raiment, nor food for their mouths withal, So long as the gulls are nesting, so long as the showers fall.

I will scent ’em with best vanilla, with tea will I temper their hides, And the Moor and the Mormon shall envy who read of the tale of my brides.

For Maggie has written a letter to give me my choice between The wee little whimpering Love and the great god Nick o’ Teen.

And I have been servant of Love for barely a twelvemonth clear, But I have been Priest of Cabanas a matter of seven year;       

And the gloom of my bachelor days is flecked with the cheery light Of stumps that I burned to Friendship and Pleasure and Work and Fight.

And I turn my eyes to the future that Maggie and I must prove, But the only light on the marshes is the Will-o’-the-Wisp of Love.

Will it see me safe through my journey or leave me bogged in the mire? Since a puff of tobacco can cloud it, shall I follow the fitful fire?

Open the old cigar-box—let me consider anew—Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you?

A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke; And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke.       

Light me another Cuba—I hold to my first-sworn vows. If Maggie will have no rival, I’ll have no Maggie for Spouse!
A man who quotes Kipling deserves a special salute! Sir, I salute you

It must have been a pretty rough New Year’s Eve to break 4 ribs.  Hope your Mom heals quickly.

DAY 9

Today I am carrying my black Fireman with a linerlock. Yesterday I carried my black Fireman
with a slidelock.

From the pictures you can see the differences in them.

The linerlock has the larger locking bottle opener and the slidelock has the same non-locking
bottle opener that is on the 91 MM SAKS.

Also due to the different locking mechanisms the order of the blades is different.

Since the locking liner has to lock the main blade and the bottle opener, the blade needs to be next to the opener layer with the locking liner in between.

On the slidelock the blade needs to be next to the slidelock on the side opposite the opener
layer.

This means the main blade and saw swap positions on the 2 SAKs. The serrated belt cutter is between the main blade and saw on both SAKs.

This also means the nail nick for the belt cutter is on opposite sides on the 2 SAKs.
