Glad you're here Juan and that coffee cup is awesome! ☕☕
I'm glad I joined this challenge, as it has been really good, with the many stories and models shown; thanks everyone, and a great weekend to all!  :tu: :cheers:

Day 7

Had just finished tuning up my new Champion, when it was used to work inmediately: shorttened the mop's threads, drilled a pilot hole, and screwed on a locking screw. And now, posing with my noon coffee!

Glad to see the you and Barry putting the awl and online Phillips drivers to work! I did this so much when we moved into our current house last year. And I think I’ve done this to moos and rakes and such a dozen or so times. Quite useful.

Day 7

Found an assassin bug on our siding that looked like it had a spider or like it molted and the remaining exoskeleton stuck to its abdomen.  Still not quite sure.  I’ve heard these things bite and it hurts so it was moved far away from the house.

And for the 1000th time had to unscrew this dino lamp and reseat the bulb after it was knocked off the night stand by a kid.  Thankfully it’s durable.

Day 7

32 years ago today I bought my first SAK with a magnifying glass, even have the receipt to prove it.  :tu:
It was the second SAK I ever owned after losing my Camper at a movie theater.
That is very cool

Nice task
Day 6

Installing a ceiling fan and controller. Had to redo wiring since the builder did not connect black hot and only used red. My fault for not checking. Two more fans to go and I will check on the next ones.  :facepalm:
Reminds me of my house.  It seems almost everytime I call in a maintenance person, they are confused by why something is the way it is.  The most recent was a roof vent that apparently isn’t attached to anything.

The Emerald Explorer was used to ready my Mother's ALF supplies, allowed to me look at some tiny ants, and posed with my coffee.

My eyes are almost to the point where I need the magnifying glass to see the date on the Victorinox Heritage watch.
