Well done everyone!!!  Now to dig some winter gear out...it's coming fast!

Day 19: Our neighborhood black bear took off with the lid to our trash can, and almost the entire 50 gal can, so we had to pick up a new can.  Cutting open the shrink wrap from our new one.

Day 18:

No Spartan use today because I went to the 2025 Wings over Houston Airshow, and they decided to install metal detectors at the entrance to enforce the TSA regulations at Ellington Field. I anticipated this and took a ratty old Climber that I didn’t mind losing (and did lose to the trash can in the security line), and a Jetsetter which became my only tool.

The USAF Thunderbirds weren’t there because of the government shutdown, but both of two flying B-29 Superforts (Fifi and Doc) were there, plus plenty of other warbirds and vintage aircraft. The Tora Tora Tora reenactment of the Pearl Harbor attack was exciting as always.

Day 18 mini challenge

An elephant and a jewel of a Spartan.

My best friend's brother is an amazing potter; he even has some pieces in the Smithsonian. In addition to all the other lovely work he does he has made these elephant mugs for many years. Funny thing, I didn't get it from him or my friend. It was given to me by a former coworker who happened to be a fan of his pottery. It's been my favorite ever since.

Yeah,  buddy. Down here beautifully rainy winter is ending and AWLfully dry and hot summer is creeping in. I'll do something with a raincoat for the challenge!

And I am putting forth a mini-challenge for Day 25: since winter is creeping up on most of us (I think Yanossauro's winter might be on the verge of winter ending), show your Spartan with some cold-weather gear. This can be a jacket, winter gloves, a snow shovel...anything you primarily use during the winter months.

The screws for the closet doorknobs have a slot for the cap lifter. It doesn't work as well as a Phillips, but it gets the job done.

Beautiful mug! Does he sell online?

Not really, but if you contact him through his website he will sell and ship a mug next time he makes them. My friend was just at one of his shows this weekend and he sold out of the elephant mugs he had in stock.

The website is lockbridgepottery.com

Day 20

I continue the theme of Sparta sport clubs and Spartan knife.
For today it is Spartan in front of AC Sparta Prague football (soccer) stadium.
Frankly, I detest the team (I do not understand how anyone can root for them 😀), but for the sake of the challenge, I did the sacrifice and took the photo. I wish the Spartan knife was named differently 😀.

Day 20: Tightening a loose handle on the sliding glass door with the can opener tip.  When all I carried was my Huntsman, I used that tip all the time and never thought anything about it.

I thought I'd miss some of the other tools, like the pliers and scissors, but I really haven't.  It's amazing how much you can do with a minimal tool set.
