Day 8
My first thought was that those Knipex have a tiny blasting cap crimper, so I looked them up. Turns out it's actually a nail puller. Could come in very handy!

Spiffy! :like:

OKay okay I will stop now .
You have quite the Micra collection! :tu:

Another great day from awl!

Free the nicotine pouches! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

I tried using the tip of the nail file as a package opener, but the blade was obviously the better tool for the job.

DAY 9

36 hours into a 72 hour fast, getting a little bit hungry now....the answer is good quality earl grey tea, the Micra helped to open the tea packet, to keep me on the straight and narrow....the reason to fast is to kickstart healing my back...



Look at that tea, cornflowers look lovely.

Micra helped me open an Amy's brand organic, vegan pizza.  They are pretty yummy if you are into that kind of thing.

That is looking very good to me, 47 hours in to my 72 hour fast and the box looks good enough to eat too... :drool:

In all honesty, I have not had a pizza in 9 years....and it's been 14 years since I have had fried chicken (KFC).... McDonald's at least 20 years.....what have I been doing with my life  :think:

what have I been doing with my life  :think:

If you are fasting, you are doing something glorious and worthy of praise.  I fasted away 60 lbs.  Then, being a genius, I stopped fasting and gained it back.  So being a double-genius, I have started fasting again - between 18 and 22 hours per day - though my long is around your 47 hour mark.  Also got a Signos constant glucose monitor to incentivize compliance, because I can see what swallowing does to my blood sugar and insulin, which is the key to this whole game.  Well done, sir.

Went digging in to where my ISA Micra and coin had been residing for the last couple of years, and couldn't find them for a pic.  I know right where they had been .
¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm guessing that I might have moved them to a safer spot.  So safe that I forgot where.  :facepalm:

Oh well.  Had this one handy and we thought we'd stop by and say hello.

day 9

A closer look at the two Zippo lighters I received from FarmerX to forward to my son who collects lighters mostly Zippos.

These are two fine specimen! 

The one on the right is engraved with LHA-5 image and via followup with FarmerX he did serve on this ship.

The Black Crackle has seen use, but the Case is perfect!

Thank you again Dan, and when😉 I finally pass these along I will let you know is comments. 👍. When?

The MICRA SMALL FLAT BLADE was involved with some fine tuning on a radio chassis I have been fiddling with for a friend.

Looks like you're down to a little less than 24 hours as of this post. I don't know how you do it!

:iagree: And I look forward to your write-up!

Oh, no...the vegan thing wouldn't do it for me.

Good to see you stop in. Nice lanyard, too! :tu:

Thank you again Dan...
Again, you are very welcome! I hope your son enjoys them.

Happy birthday! You got a pretty cool gift.

Day 9

Like Crunchie64, I used a multi to open a box containing new multis. There was an action shot, but of course the camera decided to blur it to the point of uselessness. :crash:

The dates on my three micras.

1000,  0900

Notice the 1097 is upside down compared to the other dates.

Day 9
The Micra got some good use today.  Opened up a new lighter, then cut some firestarter.  All to make some good coffee.

As an aside, I finally decided to try a new pot that I had been given over a year ago.  After one use decided I don’t like it, and will be going back to my trusty old Evernew Small Pasta Pot.
