Spartan Saturday again.  Red cellidor and red abs.  The cellidor one has been dehorned (no key ring nub).  Still doing the MiniChamp event, so no uses for these.  Just a Boy Scout photo.  Carry your Spartan (or Weekender Tony) and always be prepared.  Best wishes.  G

I  took a good look at the Boy Scout  with SAKs photo and realized.  The ABS translucent Spartan thingie is really a Tinker.  I have ABS Spartan or Spartans, but picked up the wrong one.  Looking on the bright side, now I can use the same photo for Tinker Tuesday.  Best wishes.  G  :ahhh

Your red cell always looks great, Mac.  What polish are you using on those scales?  Best wishes.  G

Would have been nice if they had a Spartan (or Classic) as the prize!

Hi Tony,
      Probably the lightest sort of one layer nylon.  Kiddie size.  Which do you want?  Mets or Yanks?  At least you get to eat the yummy Cracker Jack. 
Best wishes.  G

     I looked twice at this one to make sure it was a genuine Spartan and not another pretender Tinker.  The nice bright red color looks a little muted.  It was rather dark inside when I took the photo.  I didn't like the translucent color scales much to begin with.  After I picked up a few of them, I decided that I like them a lot.  Best wishes.  G

Drizzly, foggy day.  I decided to use my tether from the MiniChamp challenge to carry a SAK today.  Luckily I kept the split rings.  I have trouble losing things.    [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  Might as well post another Spartan photo while I am at it.  Best wishes.  G

Yes! I forgot these were called Weekender.  These serrated blades are really something.

A belated Spartan Saturday awl  :viking:
I used the Spartan yesterday to free the tree, chosen by SWMBO  :twak: from its plastic waistcoat  ::)

Today it posed with what is probably my most used Xmas SAK - the small but mighty Alox MC*

*Used on battery compartments for the many, many lights that are required for the season  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

I learned on a TRS-80.

Been a while since I posted (but it's still Spartan Saturday every week) My dad had a TRS-80 which at the time was a serious business computer for him. It was a pretty solid workhorse. Remembered I had his marketing comic so here it is with my Delemont Christmas Special  for today. It's not a Spartan but I think we've agreed here they can join in (in honesty I think I suggested it...)

   Yawn.  Oh, I just got up.  A big thank you to Fast Bill for putting on the coffee and digging out the comic books.  We have been letting in several different SAKs on the Spartan Saturday.  Spartans.  Weekenders.  The little 84 mm Spartans (Tourists).  Might as well have some "HO, HO, HO" with a nice seasonal edition snowy Delemont. 
   No snow here yet.  The semi-literate news person on the radio said there was supposed to be 30 inches of snow here last Wednesday.  The forecast was supposed to be 'up to 3 inches'.  Maybe she had been drinking something besides coffee.  Actually there wasn't even a single flake of snow here.  Probably was on the mountain tops.  Best wishes.  G

My Serrated Spartan has become a favorite,  especially paired Wyeth the Spirit or Swiss Tool.
