Day 18

It was demo day at the jobsite. None of the tools in my EDC pouch are very helpful. Instead, I made use of these tools:

Day 20

I decided to make a sheath for my Knipex bolt-cutters. Then I felt lazy, so I modified a sheath I already had.
I put a buckle on this one, and also sewed a piece of seat belt for a belt loop.
Because it's an adjustable buckle, I can also use the sheath for the 6" Cobra or plier wrench too. :cheers:

I should have left the buckle strap longer, but it'll do. :D

My zipties are scattered in the drawer they reside in. Heat shrink could help make it tidier  :think:

Still, how can something that small make so much noise? :think:
How don't they explode? They can wake me up from across the country. It's a miracle of nature. A noisy miracle. :rant:

Frankly, Tuesday was boring.

Well, not for me. For me it was a roller coaster of circumstance and emotion, culminating in an ending fraught with portent. Spoiler alert: everything is already back to normal.

But as far as this challenge is concerned, it was boring.

My vacuum sucks. Well, it doesn't suck. I mean, it usually doesn't suck because it sucks, but right now it sucks because it doesn't suck.

Chopstick to the rescue!


Ewwwwwwww.

No wonder it wasn't working. All that pictured garbage was lodged in the middle of the chamber, instead of travelling up and out like it's supposed to. Vacuum sucks again.

Miscellaneous school stuff. Kids have a certain knack for donking things up. I don't blame them, because the only difference is I can usually fix the things I donk up. The Knipex and the Roadie spent time on Repair Squad.

At home, I took a picture of the Knipex and the Ladybug, and my step counter (the green cover is the sock pouch).


Colourful!

Day 21

Fantastic day in the office. The security manager was complaining about being short of radio belt clips.
We had five broken ones in the office. Some coat hanger wire, some Knipex, some elbow grease, and I managed to fix three. :cheers:
