Day 12

I used the YeoCho scissors to cut some wax paper and Leuko tape, for a first aid kit.  Also used the combo opener to open a box with coffee.

The KERT helped open a padded mailer.

But decided a outdoor glamour shot was nicer.

If thought the Kershaw sporks look interesting, although yours looks like it is missing a gate for the carabiner part.
Good eye. I removed the carabiner clip, which mostly got in the way. Overall, it's a lot like the more common Light My Fire spork, only in stainless steel instead of titanium.

I mean, the outdoor shot is pretty nice.

Didn't need a knife for spaghetti dinner! I needed a can opener, so I used a can opener (as opposed to a can't opener1.)

Two packages arrived for me today — a TPU cover for my cyclometer, and silly helmet strap wind blockers. Both packages had a label reading "Tear at perforated line." I did that. It worked fine.

I dug up some old bar tape (I still had that in my closet? Yay!), and redid my cockpit. I used a modified Topeak 6 to detach and move the bell and computer mount.


I should find some blue bar end plugs. I think I may have an old set lying around somewhere.

The last tool for today is my stability ball; I really need to do more post-workout stretching if I'm going to spending this much time in the saddle. I don't feel like taking a picture of said stability ball, but rest assured it doesn't have any blades.



1This joke is both old and tired, but at least the setup was there.

Day 13
Today I really missed a knife or even utility blade.  I received a package that the sharpened combo tool opened no problem.  However, Inside the boxes of ammo inside were wrapped tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and packing tape.  The Vic scissors weren’t getting through, so I tried the KERT.  The KERT struggled but eventually succeeded.  I’ve done the same opening with a knife several times easily.

 :facepalm:
I should have named this the "Running with Scissors Challenge." Fun title, accurate, kinda jokey, not controversial. :rant:

If this gets done in the future, please let it be called the "Running with Scissors Challenge". :cheers:
And let me know. I might just join in on the fun. :pok:

Day 14
The KERT helped open a box with a new cooling mat for Fisher, which made him happy.

The scissors on the YeoCho helped with making a vacuum sealed pocket trauma kit, by cutting some plastic and grip tape for easier opening.

1This joke is both old and tired, but at least the setup was there.

Buddy, I'm a sawyer. I operate a sawmill. When the log is sitting on the sawmill, and you start slicing boards off it, the part that's left on there at any given time is called the "cant." I can't tell you how many jokes that term has gendered on the forestry forum I am sometimes a participant in, especially in the sawmill section. The way we say "I bought awl my knives with cash" they say things like "I cant figure out why my sawmill's not working right"
This life is merely a staging ground for eternity. Are you preparing for the rest of forever?

Believe me, we have a lot of those things. The word "pith" comes up a lot. That's the center section of a tree....

The word DanG is used a lot also, capital D and G, because there was a forum member named Dan G and he became called DanG. Now people use it as a euphemism kind of like how we use Smurf.

Good news: I grew up in a logging town in the mountains, so I understand and appreciate these references.

Any group of even remotely like-minded people is more fun when these things spring up.

The nice thing about the Swiss Champ is it's heavy enough to use as a hammer in a pinch.

Obviously I'm joking...

...but on the other hand, there are many, many photos lurking around here of me using pocket knives as hammers.

I have used in past, SwissTool and OG SuperTool as hammer. As what comes to SAK i havent got guts to use them as hammer but i was few times tempted to use it as hammer.
