Day 21

I used my tools for some other things but the highlight usage today was unpacking and installing a new ssd into my laptop. Prying tasks like this are why I even have a can opener (this curved style works really well for getting the thin part in then working it open with the thicker part). All the canned food in my country has quick opening tops so traditional use is moot.

Day 21

The marlin spike is not a great air hole enlarger. Will try some of the other tools over the rest of the challenge.

Day 21, pliers might be a little overkill for a jammed staple, but did get the job done.

Opened up a box with some new dog treats.  I also used the knife to open one because Fisher really wanted one.

I did allready change it back: The Flex Plier keeps its role as an Screwdriver whit the ROXON Mini Bit Set, but instead of the Cybertool and the small Pocketknife I have now the Huntsman and the Minichamp.., but most of the rest of the month will the Modular get used..

Day 22 (viengt et deux)
I was a bit retinkering of my Pocket EDC, i dont want it to be that Big anymore: did decide to carry in my Pocket the Roxon Flex Plier whit the Tools i use often, inkluding the Phillips Screwdriver so i can use the. Small Bit Set from Roxon again, this way i can fit anything in one EDC Pouch again ..
I need the space when next month hopefully this Retroid Pocket Flip2 Arrived, much more Emulation Power than the Anbernic Cube, and this way finally Soul Calibur 2 on the Gamecube whit Link from Legend of Zelda in my Pocket ^^
I still dont know if i still be qualified for the Challenge as i have also the Vic Huntsman and the Minichamp whit Blue Custom Scales, but i use maybe 90 % of the Time the Modular Multitool ..

In my EDC Pouch, i did also fit one Tool Holder whit the Scale Tool Holder to keep the Pocket Sewing Kit

I did use the Roxon Flex Comp today on the Swimming Pool Hall to Comp my Hear, at least i did try it but they are today too sticked togetter so i had to use my Folding Comp i bought back then as "Merchendise" from the EXPO2000 in Hannover .. to get the Job done, but normaly its works quite good. ..
I will have to edit this post to post the picture, i dont know why but i cant set an Picture Size when i post it on the Mac..

Mr. matzesu, if I may be so bold as to offer help, it took me awhile to figure that out as well.

Open the picture in the Photos app
Select Export -> Export 1 Photo
Set the dimensions to the size you want
Click OK and you make a copy in the new size

One of the few things I find easier in Windows, but it is what it is...

Long live the King!

 :hatsoff:


ReamerPunch, in your day 22 pic, you have what looks like a 4 inch plastic pen.  I have been looking for cheap but usable pens that are 4 inches or smaller for a MT sheath loop or pocket, that I also wouldn't care if I lost or if they got broken during day to day use.  Did you cut that pen down to be that length or did you buy it that way?  I have found some that work for me but I don't like the price I paid for them.

although I was carrying my ProLock, I grabbed my Flex Companion to make some cuts in this foam mat material that I set up under my gym area.

Day 23

The pen is a PaperMate Inkjoy that I shortened. I've also done this to Bic pens. Any pen with an insert from the tip works. Remove the back plug, cut it to size, put the plug back in. When a pen's ink goes low enough I just make the pen shorter.

Day 22
Opened a package with a couple new tools (t-shank adapter and can opener), so I decided to swap out the Companion loadout.

 I added the can opener and t-shank in place of bottle opener, ruler and blade.  I decided to go without the blade, because usually I have a seperate knife on me and in emergency I could probably use the jigsaw to cut.

For that purpose, you might like the Rite in Rain All Weather pocket pen.

I have these Tombow Airpress Pens in use now since a few years, they also write anywhere even on Paper where you did make a Mess whit Bees Wax, which makes them Ideal for our Beekeepers Suply Store .. , i was on a quest to find an good EDC Pen back then, and i found them quite cool ...
I have also these Olight Open Mini2, which had this nice Feature whit the Graphit Pen on the Back, but i dont find an Source for Refills so i would first use the Tombow where i have tons of Refills on Stock ^^

Oh and Thanks for the Advice whit the Updoading of Pictures on Mac @Sos24 (hey nice on Firefox its warns you when you by Accidend hits alt gr Q to write @ instead of opt l (old habit from Windows) this was something that did not happen in Safari) , im slowly but steady learn about the Difference on Mac to Windows/Linux, but these are small difference ..

Day 23 (Viengt- Troix)
Did Not use this stuff today, I had the Flex Plier and the Huntsman in my Pocket when I went to the Election , I had to really think about the SAK and his Color as the German Nazi Party (FCKAFD) got also blue as there Colors, but then I did decide that I want let me make my Favorite Color I have since 40 Years get stealed by them ..
oh and I made about 7000 Steps for the Election, so quite Green , maybe I should get me a new SAK in Green ..
