I was too hungry to stop and take pictures of the cooked sausages and they're gone now. I think there's another package in the freezer though. :drool:  I'm also going to make a turkey for Thanksgiving on Monday so I'll take pictures of that.  I know it's late but we promised a Thanksgiving dinner to a friend of my mother's who was in the hospital over the holiday and she's out now.

As for a new hand I'd like to keep my pair of 4's and draw 3 new cards.  Thanks.

@ ReamerPunch --

Pair of Jacks!  RP, with Jacks in clubs and spades, you can carry one traditional pocket knife and/or one fixed blade.
Between Day 7 and the end of this round, you can exchange up to three (3) cards to try to improve your hand.  :salute:

And, ReamerPunch now holds the winning hand!   :ahhh

I'd like to exchange my two Jacks and the three for three new cards please.

Day 02  (Gummy Bear round):


Had a chance to get out for a hike today.

(Image removed from quote.)


Cool, -6ºC, but sunny. Lunch was an MRE that has been lurking in the basement for a while. The Nick Allen EDC was excellent for opening the "peel apart" packaging that refuse to peel apart....

(Image removed from quote.)


Used the little stove that Sos taught me about, along with a homemade alcohol burner, to heat the water for the.....potable...instant coffee.....

(Image removed from quote.)


The combination of Firebox Nano and alcohol stove worked very nicely.  :tu:

View from the lunch room:

I missed this earlier.  I love the Nano.

Opened a bag with manuals etc. from our new coffee machine... that already broke  :facepalm:
That's awful!

Yay. More sick at home days next week.
Hope you get back to 100% real soon!

And people wonder why I have multiple ways of making coffee.
I have two: the typical coffee maker and a cold brew rig. I should add to the arsenal.

Surplus Italian Army Alpine boots...
A necessity in your area, I'd think. I sure could use some more heavily insulated boots.

Day 7

The mystery box arrived today. No action shots, because I have to keep it a mystery and awl that good stuff. :D

I would now like to keep my jack of hearts and nine of clubs and dump the rest.

Really hoping for some clubs...I have a new trad that is begging to be part of this challenge!

Day 7.

Kids went crazy, both parents are sick and they lack workout (aka playing outside).

 :facepalm:

Been reading a bit. Not much but at least.

I would like to keep the Jacks and Queen and turn in the other two cards.

And, Lefty, for Day 8 through 14 you have one traditional/folder, one SAK, and two (2) fixed blades!   :ahhh

Oh my!
Now, I think I will choose one tradional or modern Italian (medium sized Coltello Romano, Pattada, some kind of rasoio or something modern, have not really made up my mind yet) and MB scaled SwissChamp for the smaller ones.

As for the fixies, I'm yet again requesting Tops MicroHawk been considered as a fixed blade. After all it is designed to be used and carried as a more convinient and efficient fixie.
Should I get this permission I'll keep the Arditi and complement it with the said MicroHawk. Failing that, it'll be something else.
