....... And Let Fate decide!

[detron]

LOL!!      

Looks like I'll be learning about that separation anxiety thing. 

       

[detron]

as I am building the table of choices, I realized that I have to remove some tools from being part of the game, because they do not fit into my Skinth.

The following MTs will not be part of the challenge



Surge
SuperTool
SuperTool 200 BO
SuperTool 300
SwissTool

I am also not going to include keychain tools in the list, as I do not consider them of the size I need when I need a MT.  I love them, but they go with my MTs.  for this challenge they will not be with me, or in my bag, or in my car.  they will be at home the whole time.

the same goes for 58mm SAKs.  the only thing to know is that I have one 58mm SAK with 2 USB drives in it that I have to have as the USB tools are used daily for my job.

[detron]

My table is ready!  need to finalize the script, but the table is done!



on Thursdays the selection for MTs will be from 16-23      in honor of throw-back Thursday

On Wednesday the selection for SAKs will be from 41-48  in honor of Wenger Wednesday

you will notice that the knife column is two-thirds NONE,  so I minimized my odds of a stand alone knife.

[detron]

Script is up and working!

it spits out the numbers, and I match it to the chart.

I do not feel motivated enough to make the script spit out the answers.  I can look at the chart just as easily

Code: [Select]

#/bin/bash

#here is the main random picker "shuf -i "min"-"max" -n 1"

#Days of Week  1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, 3=Wednesday, 4=Thursday, 5=Friday, 6=Saturday, 7=Sunday
# since I will run script the night before to determine the following days selection, I will be
#using 2=Wednesday, and 3=Thursday to get the proper outcome.

if [ $(date +%u) -eq 3 ]; then
      MT=$(shuf -i 16-23 -n 1)
      echo "MT =", $MT
      SAK=$(shuf -i 1-48 -n 1)
      echo "SAK =", $SAK
      Knife=$(shuf -i 1-24 -n 1)
      echo "Knife =", $Knife
      GShock=$(shuf -i 1-3 -n 1)
      echo "GShock =", $GShock
 else
  if [ $(date +%u) -eq 2 ]; then
          MT=$(shuf -i 1-23 -n 1)
      echo "MT =", $MT
      SAK=$(shuf -i 41-48 -n 1)
      echo "SAK =", $SAK
      Knife=$(shuf -i 1-24 -n 1)
      echo "Knife =", $Knife
      GShock=$(shuf -i 1-3 -n 1)
      echo "GShock =", $GShock
     
    else
   
              MT=$(shuf -i 1-23 -n 1)
      echo "MT =", $MT
      SAK=$(shuf -i 1-48 -n 1)
      echo "SAK =", $SAK
      Knife=$(shuf -i 1-24 -n 1)
      echo "Knife =", $Knife
      GShock=$(shuf -i 1-3 -n 1)
      echo "GShock =", $GShock
     
     
      fi
      fi
     
      sleep 10

example output

MT =, 5
SAK =, 12
Knife =, 7
GShock =, 2

Then look at chart to see that MT =Skeletool, SAK= Troubleshooter, Knife= RR Bark Pearl Barlow, G-Shock= DG-350

[detron]

What did fate decide I can carry for 26  July?



MT =, 14
SAK =, 43
Knife =, 7
GShock =, 1

well, I guess it is the Kick, 1970's Monarch, RR Bark Pearl Barlow, and the Rangeman

[Grathr]

Thats a pretty cool consept. It will give you some intresting combinations and something different to look forward to every day.

@zoidberg

the game's afoot!


today, I ended up with one of my less liked MTs the Kick (no locks)  the only worse choices from my point of view are teh Sidekick and the Wingman
the SAK today is very cool, but not one I like to carry.  the mag glass is blurry, the can opener is a challenge I hope I do not need.

but I plan on sticking to it

[detron]

What did fate decide I can carry on 27  July?



MT =, 18
SAK =, 21
Knife =, 1
GShock =, 2



Well, tomorrow I will have my BO PST, My Camper, Rough Rider Abalone Peanut, and the GD-350 G-shock

I smurfed up. I have more than one unmodified multitool. Shock horror. So I'll leave it up to you guys to choose.

1. Spirit. The least used because it is a recent arrival.
2. Flair. Stolen from me on arrival and lives in a handbag.
3. SuperTool 200. It wouldn't really be a test using this guy.
4. Crunch. A little worn and with a munted Phillips but still it's an option.

Edit: for punctuation.

I would let you choose,  as long as it is not modded.   or you COULD SING FOR US!   

[detron]

just noticed how CRUEL fate can be!

No Scissors!!

alas, at least it is Sunday,  we will see what I am carrying to work on Monday,  cross fingers!

[zoidberg]

I've come up with three SAKs and three branded folders. Fixed blades are out for legal reasons.

1. Grand Super Tinker. Super Tinker with Grand Prix scales.
2. Wenger SI.
3. CyberTool 41.
4. Benchmade Mini Grip.
5. Spyderco Dragonfly.
6. Gerber Mini Paraframe. It will need to be sharpened but thats okay.

Edit: I will have to carry a Stanley 99E with hook blades for work.

[detron]

I am actually excited to see what each day will bring.  I am glad that tomorrow is a non-work day, as I like having scissors every day.

this will help me utilize more of my tools.

This is cool Detron, and interesting to see what combos you end up with.  How long are you doing this for again?

the plan is one month,  but we will see, we will see!

[detron]

Script is up and working!

it spits out the numbers, and I match it to the chart.

I do not feel motivated enough to make the script spit out the answers.  I can look at the chart just as easily

after running the fate decide script twice (today's carry, and now tomorrow's carry)  I realize getting the numbers and then looking at the chart is a better way, as I can peek through my fingers at the horror that will be bestowed upon me.  and then rejoice if the outcome is good.

[zoidberg]

My bag is going to be soooo much lighter. Anyone feel like randomly choosing my combo?

the dice have been cast!   

[detron]

I miss having scissors, hopefully tomorrow's carry will be better.  The PST is great, but I miss my Vic Scissors.

[zoidberg]

Have you needed them already? 

[detron]

Have you needed them already?

Yes, twice.  Once frayed Strings in a back pack.   The other,  a hang nail

[detron]

What did fate decide I can carry on 28  July?



MT =, 1

Knife =, 2
GShock =, 3



Well, tomorrow I will have my Charge TTi, Explorer, and the MTG-920DA

from "No Scissors" to "Two Scissors"

[zoidberg]

Was that it or was there more to come?
