Day 16:

No use today for my modded Farmer X. Took it with me to walk thru a cave at Squire Boone and then eat Cuban food ( first for me ) at a place in Louisville, KY.

Now on our way home to Georgetown, KY. Wife is driving due to a few Kentucky Bourbon Ales and a Papa Daiquiri.

Adjusted the windage on the ruger.
I :like: everything about those little Ruger .22 target pistols, except loading the magazine.

It was a frozen pizza type of day...
My kind of pizza! :drool:

My silver Bantam sees your red Bantam @Farmer X...  :cheers:

Good score! :like:

Cuban food ( first for me )...
Probably my all-time favorite food is a Cuban sandwich. :drool:

Fantastic stuff from awl, especially the wonderful Fathers' Day gifts! :2tu: I can't post my daily photos yet, as my Wi-Fi is OOC. I'll post them tonight if the Wi-Fi comes back befor I turn in; otherwise, I'll do a make-up tomorrow.

Same here. I made the little wood block in the second picture to depress the button for the magazine follower. Definitely a thumb saver.

Day 16

Used my favorite alox to sharpen a  pencil today.  The red alox with the brass liners really speaks to me.  It's usually a shelf queen but taking it for a spin this week.

Bought a used cajon yesterday, primarily for the kids. Had to take the front off to fix one of the snare strings, now it’s basically like new.

I'd be scared smurfless to use that beauty for anything rougher than slicing catalog paper! :drool:

I bet he'd say he's glad you carry an SAK! :)

I'm out of oranges, but you may see me peel a tangerine.

I thought you were talking about a drawer until I saw the Meinl logo. :facepalm:

Another great day, y'awl! :2tu:

Day 16 (catch-up)

Yesterday's photo features the Solo and a P-51 can opener. The P-51 bears a faint "Shelby & Co. U.S." stamp.

As you can see, the blade is ground to clear an inline awl. (An overdue thanks to gustophersmob for pointing out that it was not crinked.)

Day 17

30 in 30 is extremely unlikely. But I intend to compare and contrast dedicated can opener and combo tool.

Modded Farmer X has been with me all day. Used it twice, to cut 3P from the end of the role. Unable to get pics of that.

So, here it is peeking out the window!  lol

After needing a screwdriver recently, I decided to change over to my Electrician. A couple of screws fell out of a rock guard on my wifes car. I installed some temporary ones til I can get the proper OEM replacements
