That would be a red hot bulb. :ahhh


Day 3 PART ONE, FORGOT DAY 2 :facepalm:


A view of what tools my SAK has. :climber:


Day 3 PART TWO, ACTUAL DAY 3

A tiny drop of glue to fix the scale gap you almost definitely saw in the previous photo. :facepalm:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Day 3
I used the YeoCho’s combo tool to open up a bottle of fuel to fill my peanut lighter.  I also used the combo tool (with slightly sharpened corner to open a box.

My ice cream was getting low in the container and I usually cut the top half off to make it easier to eat.  The file worked, although not as easy or pretty as the blade usually does.

KERmiT sliced some sturdy zip ties and carved smoothly through the box on the new chain lock for use in the box of my truck. (That's quite a clunker of a sentence. Wow.)


This tool was worth every penny.

KERmiT was also around to slice open the tie on a bag of Easter chocolates. Yum!

I needed to swap a bunch of components and adjust the fit on a long-awaited new bicycle. I used full-sized hex keys for that.

KERmiT cut the tag out of some padded cycling underpants.

I needed a kife at lunch to cut some provolone. Conveniently, I was working immediately in front of an entire silverware drawer.

On my new bike's first real shakedown cruise, I realized very early on that the saddle was too low. Fortunately, I had this with me:


Nearly every bolt on the Giant Contend 3 takes a 4mm. I don't know if I need to thank Giant or my LBS.

LM Raptor

Ocean Conservation Namibia uses the Raptor on seal rescues.  So your goal for the month is have at least one seal rescue.  :tu:

Used today Saw, File and bit driver at work today, surely its handy now when i changed tool layout bit to make easier to deploy file and saw. Medium flathead helped me to take out batteries out of my old e-cig.

Hello
A bit late with day 5.
Packed up the camping gear which is bit like tetris really getting it all back in the wagon. Tent was not packed proper as I needed to get it home to dry it properly.
The Rebar was just inspecting the final packing.
A nice weekend at the beach which is unfortunately very hard for a lot of the team in lockdowns in other parts of the world.
A beer was had in your honour .

 :cheers:

The YeoCho combo tool helped open a box.  The scissors helped cut a tamper seal off an herbal dog remedy.

Hello day 6.
I am back on NZ time for posting and it is late afternoon day 6.
Used the pliers to remove a cap from a can of malt for the next 10l home brew. A Dutch lager is in the keg. Only a week to wait. .Fortunately  I have 3 kegs on rotation   :D.

No useful pictures today, because nothing exciting happened (well, tool-wise, that is.)

Of course I needed a knife at dinner, so I used a table knife. Ayup.

I needed to open a box, so I channelled my inner Kong and ripped it apart with my bare hands.

A picture, I suppose:

Day 6

I fixed my umbrella. All it took was a tiny piece of wire to attach the cap to the rod.
