Day 15, Tightening up utility room doorknob after my wife had some painters repainting house. Have to give credit to SwissTool length on Phillips. Works well tight spots. Bit frustrated with the painters my wife used, note the ring above the doorknob. Not going to say a word about it.  :whistle:

I have wondered if that was the purpose behind putting the different scissors in the Spirit Alexanderre.  They seem to be a bit more heavy duty than the regular Vic scissors.  Heavy duty usage?  We'll probably never know but they do cut!

Day 15

Pliers saw some action today - first removing a clogged tip of a make-up bottle for the Mrs. Second, used the pliers to remove a bent nail on some trim board I am installing. I also used the awl to place all the holes in the board to make it easier to install the boards.

Congrats on the ride! Sucks when you get a flat - I hate that - but comes with the territory. Good use for the pliers!

Day 15
The Belt cutter blade cut the sleeves off a shirt that was already ripping to use as a summer lounge shirt.

The belt cutter also cut open a bag of popcicles.

Day 16/30. After yesterdays deflation started today fixing the inner tube by making a cardboard cover for the clamps to keep the pressure on the patch. I probably don't need them but I've always done it.

Thanks. Always surprises me how a tiny flint chip can be such a nuisance. Still it's all good practice I guess  :think:

It was actually warm and humid for May.
