Great shots everyone!

Day 18

Probably everyone knows this, but I didn't.  The gas pump icon has a little triangle that points to the side where you fill the gas.  So handy when driving a rental car or someone else's car.

Nice pics and tip, FoBe! :like: :2tu:

112 degrees is hot! :ahhh

DAY 18  Went out on a hike today.  My gear was my phone, my older GPS that has some relevant waypoints in it, and the Explorer.

:iagree: It can look good when you take it but then the picture is blury.  Some on here are really good.It is ok for the mag glass to feel a little left out.  That is what is awesome about SAKs, all the tools are available even if not needed at the time.I’ve been curious about the wrench, but never had a SAK with it.  Wenger had some interesting models.

That's so true Sos  :tu:
Thank you Vicman  :salute:
Day 18

Day 19

New CD player :woohoo:

CD players have become very expensive so was looking for something good quality but inexpensive.

These SMSL models from China get great reviews so thought I’d give it a go. You have to wait about 3 months to get it and supply your own power supply but after a quick test very happy

i used the blade on the SwissChamp to cut up a box,

I cleaned the blade after I took the picture, so that it would be ready for the next use of it. :)

Everyone is doing great!  I hope this has been a fun challenge for everyone so far.  I'm finding that it's very nice to have a mag glass on me, if namely to search for a photo op of something I would have probably overlooked otherwise.

Day 19:I have the Woodsman on me today.  It's sunny here so we're spending some time outside.  Here's a closeup of an evergreen branch.  It was a tough pic to get, with the glare on the glass.

Well life got in the way again and I’ve missed about a week  :facepalm:  :oops:.  I might try again later on my own.  Catching up on this challenge reading was great, lots of great mag posts.  I’ll follow along.
