Thanks, awl. Pretty happy with the crops so far.

Dan, we’ll have to see how big the tomatoes get this season, ours are already on track to grow like the cucumbers with the good rain and sun we transitioned between. Hope you get a good yield. There’s nothing better than food from your own garden.

:like: I have an idea for a mod that may well require two Pioneer Xs. If the idea would work, the second Pioneer X would donate its scissors spring and subsequently get slimmed down into a Pioneer. :woohoo:

Sounds like it will be a good deal, I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I still may end up buying an electrician, and another PX for a mod idea I have. It will also result in a leftover pioneer.

If I wasn’t shouting alox forever from the roof tops, I am now after the alox challenge. Spent a hour or so this morning trimming and pruning and harvesting… with the Harvester.  Certainly a favorite of mine now.

Opened a can of peaches today. Didn’t get an action shot so here’s a replication on the bottom of the tin. The opener is very comfortable to use with a 2 layer alox and I think I need to practice with this style.

Well, its hard not to when you post pics like that  :gimme:

But seriously, I'm glad the OC has a good home and gets used, I'm sure she didn't like spending most her life in the safe.

I have several shelf queens that I can't bring myself to use.  Some day soon I will sell them all because they don't really mean much to me.

This one fit the bill perfectly for a user--used, well loved, and all of the best options a Pioneer has to offer!  I have too many users to put much wear on any single one, so someday hopefully it will be in another owner's pocket who appreciates it, not much worse for wear having been in mine.
