Second use of the day. Came back from an errand an noticed one of the storm door brackets was loose. Unfortunately, this was the first classic “fail,” in a way. I snugged it with the classic, but couldn’t get enough torque to get the wiggle out of the bracket. Had to fetch a real screwdriver.  Previous experience has shown the 93mm opener layer Philips is more than adequate for the task.

Nice pic, gustophersmob  :like: :2tu:

Day 2

Still haven't needed my little friend. Maybe I need to carry a different friend with me. I'll give this little fella a couple more days and then maybe swap him out. But in the mean time, here's a pic to enjoy.

One of two packages arrived today so far.

In number 1 was this slim little fellow…

Alox, green, called Jungle ——

It is so thin. Can not tell if it between my thumb and index finger 🥺
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Yeah, my wife ordered some table salt from Amazon. Cheaper than Kroger, I guess

Cutting open some really good chips!
Trader Joe's has a lot of good stuff. Are those sweet onion flavor?

I also play a Line 6 Variax guitar which has 24 other guitars digitally loaded into it so that have acoustic and electric 12 stings, Les Pauls, Strat, Martin Rickenbacker guitars, etc, and even banjo or sitar.
It's crazy what we can do with technology these days! I made a few attempts to learn guitar, but always on a dreadnought.

I like that desk pad Tony!  Truth be told, 99 percent of my EDC usage is exactly that sort of usage.  Two months of carrying a little SAK has shown that cbl51 is right: for most days, one of these knives gets it done.  I've resorted to my bigger multi tools for a few things, but only a couple of times.
