So far, just a little bit of nail filing and cleaning.

Here’s my Executive with a P-51 Mustang, the type in which Yeager scored his 11.5 aerial kills in WWII.

Day 4:
I was home all day because my daughter and I have a stomach bug. Luckily, we are on the mend. My new scales came in the mail today, so other than opening the envelope, this was all the daylight that the Exec. saw. Got them swapped, and it shall be blue from here on out.

Blue looks real good! 
Mighty fine…
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I thought Greyhound was a good story about transport escort ships. 

Tracking subs no so certain.

An eBay purchased arrived today, a Holiday gift To be wrapped , rescued  from packaging for inspection.

This is the blade used to slice the tape.


This blade also, bit me when this tool first arrived, so I am very 😜 cautious when it is deployed.

I am familiar with the Vagabond orangne peeler, not this scalpel type implement. 😜

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I, too, have a set of 74 mm scales and tools in the mail. And I, too, am sick, although it’s a cold in my case.

Incidentally, this is the tool with which you will have to open all your bottles this month if you are taking this challenge seriously... :cheers:

Sorry, no I will not, as my hybrid has this tool too!

I also, am not officially doing this challenge,  I am watching and learning about the Executive since this Hybrid has many of the implements.  Contributing if possible with pictures, comments and questions.

I really love the hybrid executive.
I don't think that the regular toolset is actually able to handle bottles and screws as well as other models.

Probably my favorite job with my smaller Vic's has to be cutting my cigars in half as I limit myself to half of one a day.

The small blade opened some mail today. I also added a little lanyard to make the Executive easier to retrieve from my jeans’ watch pocket.

Nothing fancy today, but I did use the toothpick to dislodge a bit of peanut from between my front teeth.

That is why I chose not to include myself, even though I was given a green light. My hybrid built by a fellow member and was a MTo GAW, is more tool than this Challenge was established😉

But, I do wish to learn about the implements on my package, so I am monitoring and will ask questions or comment when so moved.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
