Day 23

Mail call! Our insurance is still doing free Covid tests monthly, so my wife is stocking up.  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

Day 24

Had the spinal injection this morning, have to say not nearly as bad as it sounds. I’m still feeling the anaesthetic and it can take ten days for the steroids to kick in so hard to say if it’s worked, feel a bit drowsy but not too bad

As normal with these things had to wear one of those medical gowns you tie up at the back. After it’s over go back to the little cubicle to get changed, that’s when I discover the string has knotted and I can’t get it undone.
Luckily I had my Rambler on my keys, so a quick cut and I’m free….unfortunately not a combo edge for the challenge, but didn’t think anyone would want to see me in a medical gown either :rofl:

Day 24

As we move into the home stretch, I'm trying to use any tools on the Soldier that I haven't. Today was the keyring.

It's just silly.

Day 23:

Had use for a hammer, Crescent wrench, socket set, and Knipex Cobra pliers today working on a gate, but no use for the GAK. I do admit to clearing some brush out with the RangerGrip Gardener that was kept in my fencing tool kit, a job I probably should've used the GAK on.

It is Barry :iagree:

I’ve been using a regular # 7 or 8 daily in the kitchen for years but have been pleasantly surprised how well the combo edge acquits itself

Did you change your trekker scales to red… or did they come that way?

Day 25

Used the orange peeler on the Executive to unjam a stapler today. All multitools should have a long/thin poking tool (that isn't a knife!)

No, they came with the normal back ones but I couldn't resist. Only downside are that they don't have any slots for the T&T

Day 25 - no knife use day but it has still been intense, woke up and made coffee, took out the trash, restocked firewood next to the fire place, did the laundry, made 100 calls and tomorrow we sign the papers for a new house if we manage to sell ours and then when I get to work there has been an accident (the guy was later sent home from the hospital and will be fine) and now there is just about 7 more hours before I clock out and can get some sleep
