Jobs done, opened the probiotic with the scissors, repaired the front screen off the gas fireplace (which had popped out of its mount) using the can opener to undo the fixing screw, then reinstall it, and finally, the large screwdriver to pop open the tight latch on the box that holds my leather cleaning stuff. This evening before bed, I moved some furniture and wall hangings, I also used the screwdriver to remove screws.

Most of these tools I used are older than me. The Vise Grips definitely predate Irwin and the big outsource incident, the Lufkin 966 was bought earlier this year as new-old-stock from Farm Bureau (a local feed, farm, and hardware chain). Definitely made prior to 2010, when Lufkin was sold by Cooper Tools to Apex. It's made in the USA, as after Apex got a hold of Lufkin, everything got outsourced to China or Mexico. The smaller Lufkin, a 372 Caliper Rule, is from the 1920s, I think. I bought it earlier in the week. The Zircon stud finder, borrowed from my folks, who have had it since the 1990s (my old green one, a simpler model, is broke).  The Belknap Hardware 13 oz. hammer is my great-granddad's, and the drill, a Miller's Falls 2-A, has been in the family 50 years, having been left behind by the previous family when my folks moved here in 1969. I have 2 electric drills (3/8 Craftsman and 1/4 Hitachi) but rarely use them compared to this.

Day 16
Today I adjusted a hidden hinge in mom's China cabinet. The Huntsman is lacking the inline Phillips of the Champion I usually carry, :( but the can opener did the job.

Day 16.

Almost forgot about that challenge. Nothing special today, killed some oranges and apples today, no pics though, so a quick and dirty one has to do the job.
Chilled the evening, with beverages from yesterdays package.
Daughter is ill, so outdoortime will be limited the next day.

Hope she'll be better soon  :salute:
How do you like the Whisky?
Thanks buddy.
The 18yo Bowmore is great, but will not replace my all tme favourite when it comes to peaty whiskys. Caol Ila Destillers Edition is by far the most tasty I have had. Fruit ans smoke in one glass. Yummy. Looking forward to open the other bottle, Lagavulin Dest.Ed.

Sounds nice, never had one of those.

Nice G Shock!  I had to clean up a mess from one of my Sheepdogs who ate something he shouldn't have.  I fashioned a scoop from an old milk carton.

They are great watches and after my first gen solar bit the dust after 10 years and wanted another solar and found this Mudman one!
Oh no on eating something he shouldn’t have! It is wild what some of them would eat.  :sa:

Day 17.

Wanted to pick up another package at a store this morning, still wasnt there.  :twak:Beeing mad about that I did a 2h walk along the river. Took my daugher with me, fresh cold air cant be bad when one doesnt feel good.
Nice and frosty today. Cant believe it was 20°C less than one week ago  in mid november. :facepalm:
Used saw to take a small branch with me to attach it to our bird feeder later. Birds love twigs and small banches to land on and you can hang up more stuff for them  :tu:
