I actually was surprised SECURITY, did not escort me to my car without my groceries.   They have cameras everywhere in the store.

And, forgot to mention the looks from those nearby in the aisles,  a crazy man!  A CRAZY OLD MAN besides!!!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

It's amazing how beat up some of those carts are.  I've seen them with bent frames, bent bodies, floppy wheels.  You see this and you have to ask how??

This store has an apartment complex about a quarter mile away, and a bus top at far end of parking lot.
I suspect, those carts receive some abuse, curb jumping, and other uses not intended.

A store close by, near my home, has a few hotels within walking distance, and suspect, mutual patrons take liberty borrowing a cart to transport groceries from store to lodging facilities.  Some truckers park big rigs in nearby large open lots for layovers.

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

   Walmart here has the worst carts.  The North Carolina word is 'buggy' instead of cart.  Ingles grocery stores use the ones that have a fold up basket.  I pulled out one of those types and flipped the basket down.  I mashed the cat urine out of my thumb.  An octogenarian who bagged groceries and stacked the carts saw me and said, "You got to watch them things.  I got scars all over my arms from them."

That makes sense.  It's so bad, there's actually outfits that will repair and refit them.

Same here Gary.  There's one of theirs up by our store, a solid 3/4 mile from Walmart, that looks like it got run over.  It's at a bus stop.  It's been there forever now, and I always give it a pleasant good day since it seems to have taken residence there  :D.

I had to do a couple of double takes to make sure that I hadn't stumbled into a different thread.
I don't have any funny stories about grocery store buggies to share, so a picture of one of the PowerPints will have to do.

Paperclips ?
I don't know when the last time I even saw a paperclip.
Finding a promotional pencil was hard enough.  Did they make promotional paperclips too.
Oh well, till tomorrow.
Addicted to sharp pointy things.

If you care to, message me your address and I will have my friends at Amazon send you 1,000 paper clips.  That should keep you busy for a while.

Thanks for the well wishes. We have a few places with the locking carts around here (I think mostly Giants), but they've mostly been alright for me.

Day 23

How about a thickness comparison of the Mini Sailor and Mini Sailor Lite? Mostly just went between the bed, the couch, and the kitchen today. Tired, but I think feeling a little better than yesterday. The Sailor Lite is actually small enough to carry on a keychain comfortably, which isn't true of a lot of other "keychain" plier tools.

It's not so much the size as the heft I've noticed.  I have a key fob/push button car, so the weight of the Dime isn't hanging from the ignition.  I'd hate to have that weight (compared to a Classic or Mini Champ) hanging from keys.  Mine is rarely on my keychain, but usually in my Camelback on a snap ring.  It's handy there compared to the larger options.

DAY 14

Getting the GPS ready for walkovers



Mine (an early '00s Magellan Sport Trak) was already somewhat obsolete when it was given to me for Scouts (as it had been a never-used gift a relative received). Still works, but I probably should consider replacing it.  However, it still does its job of getting me back to the road/truck/parking lot in unfamiliar terrain.

I see a Windows logo--does that Trimble double as a PDA?

That's the thing with keychain tools: they don't get a lot of recognition or glory, but they're always there waiting.  Actually, many rarely see maintenance or care at all.  When they're put to use, often it's to accomplish a task well above what they should.  As cbl51 has said about the Vic Classic, I think applies here as well.  These tools pack a punch way above their weight.

Looking great everyone!!  We're on the home stretch!

   A strange thing has sprung up from the advertising here on MTo.  I thought the first few ads were weird.  Then they kept coming and finally I got interested.
   Yes, I am talking about HDPE plastic drain liners.  The wonderful durable cure for crumbling concrete around drains and manholes.  Some are even adjustable, so you can maintain the correct height around roadways after repaving.  No more kerthunk as your tire drops down into the divot.  Heavy vehicle traffic.  No sweat.  All sizes.  Square, round, you name it. 
    I didn't even know I wanted these things, but the AI demon KNEW.  I know that the market for these things are municipalities, construction outfits and such as that.  But I wonder if they might just send one to a fan.  Nothing fancy.  Just a nice round standard manhole sized high density polyethylene donut.  I think I will hang it from a tree with a rope.  Who knows, someone may see it and want to purchase a few hundred for commercial purposes.  It looks like they are all gray colored.  Maybe I could make a suggestion.  Make some in bright yellow.  High visibility.  Makes drivers aware that there may be a little bump coming up.  Safety.  That suggestion should be enough to more than pay for the shipping on one item.  Right? 
Best wishes.  G

You're onto something buddy!  A buddy of mine just had to deal with erosion at his place from drainage.  With those liners, viola! No more erosion!  :D

Speaking of that, we're looking at some rain today here.  Have a great day!

   Maybe I can get fixed up with a shipment of a dozen or so of each size?  On consignment.  I have plenty of space to stack them.  There must be some people who would be interested in buying a single, right?  HDPE Drain Liners, buy or rent to own.  Multiple uses.  Erosion control, small repairs, garden related and many purely decorative uses.  I might be on to something here.

Day 24

Flat blade on NexTool was perfect for lifting AAA batteries out of remote temperature sensor. Sorry only two hands at the homestead, no picture.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

A little color for today!  The sheath is a opinel made item, I picked up a couple years ago iirc, when doing a opie challenge.  It fits pocket nicely. And since I rotate my vehicles (2), not practical to have a tool on key chain.

Have a good SUNDAY!  And prayers for those that are or have been ailing!  😱. Keep the germs away…
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

A SMART man always knows what to say!
   A WISE man knows whether or not to say it!!!

Day 24



The Dime and I are chilling out with a cup of coffee before continuing on with getting the house ready for exterior paint. So much work, so little time.

Day 24

Flat blade on NexTool was perfect for lifting AAA batteries out of remote temperature sensor. Sorry only two hands at the homestead, no picture.

A little color for today!  The sheath is a opinel made item, I picked up a couple years ago iirc, when doing a opie challenge.  It fits pocket nicely. And since I rotate my vehicles (2), not practical to have a tool on key chain.

Have a good SUNDAY!  And prayers for those that are or have been ailing!  😱. Keep the germs away…

Yeah, it is one of the few “perks” of living here. I will say on a crappy rainy day, a good cup of coffee sure can make the day better.

That's the thing with keychain tools: they don't get a lot of recognition or glory, but they're always there waiting.  Actually, many rarely see maintenance or care at all.  When they're put to use, often it's to accomplish a task well above what they should.  As cbl51 has said about the Vic Classic, I think applies here as well.  These tools pack a punch way above their weight.

I agree with your assessment of the key chain tools, to a degree.  My issue stems from thee folks that think that a small tool can do the same job as a large too;  then, when they break it they're all over the Internet trashing it.

Any who, the slotted screwdriver on my PowerPint makes a really good substitute for a cigar punch.

Addicted to sharp pointy things.

You're right, PitCarver.  I've read those same reviews.  I get it in an emergency.  Abusing a tool and then writing a bad review is just wrong.
