Day 28Cutting an apple was the only and naturally easy task for my FX today.
Great shot

Day 28The road bike was having shifting issues. Nothing serious: it was still rideable, and I can fix most shifting problems myself anyway (I do my own maintenance, which sure comes in handy when your favourite shop is an hour away.)It's been too long since my road bike got a thorough pampering, so I decided to take it to the shop for a good going-over. Normally, this would be the worst time of year to take it in — everyone and their dog is getting a tune-up done. This year I thought it might be different, since bicycle industry supply issues mean they aren't assembling new stock right now.Hoo boy, was I wrong. The shop is already taking bookings for the end of April. I can't really complain, because I'm stoked so many people are cycling this year. Still, there goes my bike's shiatsu massage.After some other errands, I drove back home, grabbed my Fx and my (sadly discontinued) Park IB-12, and poked at my front derailleur until I finally got it to behave. I needed to do a lot of prying, and the IB-12 was busy tightening hex bolts. I could have used almost anything in the world for the prying, but the Fx did fine.(Image removed from quote.)There may be a pattern when it comes to my colour choice, but I couldn't tell you what it is.It turns out my rear derailleur issues were a direct result of the front derailleur issues, so that saved me some time. Now it just needs a thorough cleaning. Maybe I'll repack all the bearings and scour the drive train next weekend.End: Day 28
Day 29Postie dropped this package off, main blade was the tool of choice - it’s a gumstick size battery for my (now old! Where did those 20 years go!) md player - still prefer the sound it produces to using files on a phone!

It took a second but I think that's minidisc? You clearly need to fall down the black hole of lossless audio formats and portable DAC/AMPs
FX Day 29:The awl assisted with a scale swap.(Image removed from quote.)Nifty work, Nix! While very effective, the awl was a bit aggressive and the removed scales were slightly chewed up. For my purposes, this was perfectly fine, but if you want to salvage the removed scale you'll either want to use a more careful approach or a more suitable tool. (Image removed from quote.)
