We managed to lose all the keys of a door at home so I had to pick it to remove the lock.
the SOG PPP helped fashion a flag lock pick from a binder pick handle.

I used a mini drill chuck 1/4 adapter as handle.

It took several tries but finally I managed to pick and remove the it.

Cool! 


Day 09
This evening I've used the Executive to open a net of logs...

...the Zippo to light them up for a cosy fire...

(Image removed from quote.)

... and my phone to make this little slow motion gif of the flames...

Gonna agree with others, nothing beats this on a cool day!

Hello
a bit late for my day 9 pic but it was a day of road trips - 3.5 hours, 2 hours and 1.5 hours.
not much MT action other than to open a package. One of the first downloads will clealrly be a Download/ setup of MTO.org.

 :cheers:
Enjoy!  Ipad is really a game changer! :tu:


Day 9

Busy day at work.

I used the Shuffle to sharpen a pencil.

Dime to open a pack of biscuits to the after lunch coffee (Sorry, I forgot to take a pic)

This Shuffle is really well loved. :like:


Day 10
Bit of postage opening including some fire ants which I’m looking forward to trying.

Don’t usually carry the phone on my early dog walk, poor coco is now having to endure more stupidity from me :twak: :)

Solving problems you didn't know you had in the most obscure way possible

"And now, it's time to hand this over to our tame race axe driver. Some say, he can live in the forest for six months at a time without food, and he knows of a secret tribe of only women where he is their God. All we know is, he's call the Styx!" - TazzieRob

DAY 10 

I received my new phone case today.
Apple sell it for £50 but I bought it from the manufacturer (Olixar) for only £20  :pok: :twak:

Here's the FX helping with removal from the easy open Amazon package... :whistle:

Clever buy Surge  :like:

... not so clever package opening though. But I'm equally stupid when it comes to that  :D

EDC 10:

Used the BAK to break down a squash (to be roasted and used for lunch).






I think there is a slight wonkiness (irregularity) in the blade that makes it track unevenly. And like when cutting up the apple, the BAK tended to split and tear more than slice.

The can opener made an excellent claw/scraper to clean out the squash's guts.






This snap is for Sos...still a bit of frost this morning....
