Day 3

This morning I helped a friend disassemble some chickens, I used one of these Micras (not sure which one) on two of them, but no pics. So, funny enough,  this evening for dinner we wind up at Chic fil A.     :whistle:    :D

Home with 2 sick kids today...
Hope they're feeling better today!

So a sad day yesterday...
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

Another great day, y'awl!

Day 3

I had plans to compare and contrast old and new Micra scissors' performance on paracord. But shockingly, a piece of my eBay tat (as Tasky might call it) wound up selling. So I had to cut a piece of paper to make into a shipping label. The Micra scissors handled the paper pretty dang well.

Culling of the knife and multi herds in progress...

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

DAY 4

So at start of the home build, started with a door through a party wall where we have permission to reside nextdoor while the builders destroy and rebuild.

The Micra was used to cut away the old dial-up internet copper cable, and for this it works very well.... I'll do a scissors cut montage during the challenge.

Thank you all for the condolences and well wishes

 :)

As requested, the ducklings, the poor guinea pigs were kicked out of the house...must check on them as they were taken outside...

The ducks are Pekin ducks, we believe that out of the five, only one is a girl...thus there will be three duck dinners at some point...

Another easy task for my Micra.

Obviously a little bit slower than getting out a Free series blade or package opener, but the extra two seconds didn’t really affect my life too much.

Still managing fine using just the Micra.

Powernoodle Day 4


Opening an Amazon box . . .



. . . containing "Neutrogena Sunscreen Spray, Ultra Sheer Body Mist, Broad Spectrum SPF 70, Non-Greasy Water Resistant Body Sunscreen Mist, Non-Comedogenic, 5 oz (Pack of 3)"


Then I had to look up the word "comedogenic".  I know what "come here dog" or "come dog" means.  But comedogenic means acne-producing.

I thought it would mean funny, like comedy-generating. :think:

That's something else I had to look up.  I am into etymology - as opposed to entomology, which I am not into.

"Comedogenic" derives from the Latin "comedo" meaning glutton.  Presumably, gluttons get pimples from their gluttony.  If that is true, I am the exception.  In English, comedo now means a blackhead or whitehead.

As for "comedy", it comes from the Greek kōmos meaning "revel, carousal, merry-making, festival".

Similar, but different.


Okay, maybe I am into entomology.  I took this pic with the magnifier on an Explorer Plus.


Now, back to the glorious Micra . . .   .   :cheers:

Not having a one-hand opening blade is the hardest part of this challenge  :ahhh   But I agree - the Micra is doing fine  :tu:

Day 3 of 30:
Used the scissors to cut my nails and the file to smooth down the jagged mess the scissors left. They did they job easily but took a lot of filing to clean em up.

Got caught up on my yard work today since it finally quit raining. Used the scissors to cut some trimmer line. Worked amazingly well

DAY 5

Managing the children this morning, and they wanted to do rock painting, having the stainless Micra, I definitely needed a little colour.

I blued the words, and blacked the rule markings (I did try yellow first, but it didn't stand out)

The blue is hard to see, but the rule markings are much clearer
