Day 10 I finally used the Swiss+Tech to tighten a loose doorknob screw. The pole cutter did the job on some overgrown bush limbs. I seem to remember using the tiny tool to take apart that same shrub cutter to sharpen the blade or something? Maybe last year. Needs sharpening again. I mentioned before about the mysterious person named Ms. Phoenix who lives in the cottage past my mailbox. If lives is the right word. Little blue Toyota or something in the driveway. No living person ever seen outside the house, and indeed no signs of life at all. Never a visitor. All that changed. Last trip out, I saw the little blue car in its usual spot. But, there was an identical model white car parked on the other side of the porch. I am not exactly the world's foremost 'looks like a Toyota car identifier' in the world, but it seems to me there must be a link there somewhere. Bright blue car on the left. Seemingly identical, but white, car on the right? I hope white car entity likes to do some yard work, since blue car never has touched a thing outdoors. Still no mailbox for the house. I'm not curious enough to go knock on the creaky old cottage door with a big grin and say, "Howzers. I'm the feller what lives next door." You know how every horror story in the world goes. Young folks rent a cabin. One nosy female decides to explore the basement. Falls through the rotted wooden steps and yells. Friends ask from above, "Kelly, are you okay?" Aforementioned nosy female (Kelly) answers, "Yeah. I just fell." Then she lights a match. Never a flashlight. No flashlights in horror movies. Anyway she lights a match and sees she has landed on a grinning corpse with a knife stuck through the skull. Match burns out and high-pitched female type screeching begins. Along with appropriate background music. I think I used the last of the garlic that I had hanging outside my back door to make some spaghetti. Might need to buy some extra garlic. One or two of those big braided ropes of garlic like you see with the leaves all plaited together. I like those. Best wishes. G [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Day 9Mini Sailor Lite breezed through port security, no questions asked. Fixed a zipper pull on my wife's bag that'd stretched open.
Day 10
Nice! Really liking that Barlow!Day 8 - Book challenge - catch upAnother Sherlock Holmes fan here. Wife bought me these several years ago. I unfortunately don't make much time for reading anymore. I have 3 - 4 books waiting to be read. (Image removed from quote.)
Day 10: Dime with a Radio Shack copy of a Walkman. I used the parcel opener to open a pack of Double A batteries.
It's been raining here today and all I'm doing is sitting on the front porch. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Powernoodle Day 10Strange that many of my uses and pics involve food.

Now that reminds me, I think I have the Walkman equivalent in a dresser drawer, along side a garage sale find, a Tetris game.
Day 10 +Thought to be a quiet day, then a soft bang!Isolated to laundry room, my washer door restraint broke and the washer door hit the room door!Needed to make a new restraint and used the Sheffield’s pliers to remove the broken band. Then fashion a new restraint and installed [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Did not need the blue band this time, for another repair. 😉

Day 11 I did a little modification to my weedwacker. See the black corrugated sleeve right behind the loop handle? I'm not sure why the Stihl people put that thing on there like they did. It is roughly on the balance point. Good for carrying the tool, right? Wrong. ~
DAY 11 started in a bit of a because I could not find my PS4 After a careful search, I found them, but it illustrates why these would be better carried on a keychain. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
