Day 26My day started slow, and easy! Found myself remembering summer days of my youth, and how fast it seems to have past. This barn picture is a favorite, it resembles the barn that occupied the land next to my home growing up. It is now gone, all the land was donated to the Kalamazoo Nature Center. My childhood home still stands, but we sold it this winter after mom past away last July. Awl good and fond memories. The lower level, had a milking parlor, 6 stalls, upper level would store bailed hay to the roof, being filling it with last cutting about now. 🥲 [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] NEXTOOL seems to be a very handy pocket tool, Carries well in a slip, and easier to find in the bottom of my pocket that way.
My order of cigars came and the package opener on my Dime was put to use.
DAY 27. My wife has been bugging me to look at these blooming flowers. PS4 and me checking them out. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
~ I seem to recall someone was having trouble with the 'springs' on the painted Bonds cracking. Was that you, Gordon? Best wishes. G
Day 27I almost forgot!!!A BOND THAT ARRIVED Monday, apparently a TSA confiscated item was brand new in condition and stiffness. A nail breaker to deploy the blade. Completed oiling the pivots and working the lubricant between tools at the pivot, some improvement, but not for the blade. Then notice the blade handles back spring air gap was noticeably thinner on the blade handles, and very tight against the blade. (New style)So, inspected my assortment of keychain pliers and found the Sheffield’s flat blade was just a bit thicker than my other items and when I slipped it between the pivot and frame it increase that air gap. Let it set overnight, (did not want to pry, as it could break that back spring)Well this morning, the BOND is 70% better at deploying [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] The spring rides against the knife pivot and drops into the detent perfectly. The Phillips and Can opener operate as expected.

I remember carrying a knife or SAK since middle school. I even remember pickup trucks having gun racks in high school. Guys would head out after school to find some doves, rabbits, etc.
Powernoodle Day 27(Image removed from quote.)I'm guessing that I open 10 Amazon packages every week. I can't recall the last time I've been to a store, other than an occasional grocery run.
Day 26Internet wet out yesterday before I had a chance to post and didn’t come back on until late morning, so her is yesterday’s Mini flagship helped with outdorr coffee. In addition to using the pliers as a pot lifter, I also use it to lift the hot wind screen and hot so I can put the alcohol stove out. Then the pliers also work to lift stove when pouring excess fuel back in bottle.
