DAY 29


DAY 29

It is hard to believe that it is the last day of the Leap Challenge already.

Thank you, FoBe for doing such a wonderful job of hosting such a fun Challenge! :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

The Mini Challenges within the Challenge added to the fun.
Thank you for the prizes! :woohoo:

It has been a lot of fun and it has been extra special since you hosted the Last Minute February Leap Year Challenge with Leap during the month of February of a Leap Year. It is a memory I will always treasure. :)

And thank you, Legend for participating with FoBe and me in the Leap Challenge.

I enjoyed everybody's posts and comments.

I also want to thank LoopCutter, Poncho65, Aloha, Rich_SD, IMR4198, and gra_farmer for following along with us.

The Leap is a very capable compact multitool and is a great EDC!

It has been a fun month! :cheers:

This is my DAY 29 optional post for the Mini Challenge to post your
LEAP and tell a story about receiving something free

I lived in my first apartment for 32 years. It was a furnished 'apartment. I lived in the upstairs apartment and my landlord lived downstairs.

My landlord had been married to his wife over 50 years when she passed on and his 2 sons and daughter all lived in other cities, so I made a point to visit with my landlord for an hour every night after I got off work since he had no family in town.

He would occasionally invite me for dinner or a snack.

When my landlord passed on his family gave me all the furniture in my apartment in appreciation for the years I had spent visiting their dad after his wife passed on.

That saved me a lot of money that I would have had to spend on furniture. The dressers are all solid wood and very well made.

I still have all that furniture to this day which means I have now had it for 46 years counting from the time I first moved into the apartment.

I really appreciated their kindness. :)

Day 29

It's kind of difficult to narrow down the free items I've received thus far.  From the "give a penny, take a penny" tray at the mini mart, to lunch tickets at my high school, to my master's degree and more.  Though, in hindsight the master's helped me quite a bit, allowing me to understand more within my field and ultimately earn more as a teacher. 

I was at a teaching conference hosted by my district, when I overheard the clerk stating to the teacher across from me that her reimbursement check is ready and that she only needs her transcript for proof of finishing the coursework.

I'm thinking what is this about?  So I waited a couple of minutes, located the clerk and told her I was in classes at the university.  She told me I was in luck because the district had excess money and was paying for anyone who was willing to put in the work, their master's would be 100% reimbursed.   

Wow, sign me up. :woohoo:

I can't think of anyone who is more deserving of a reimbursement! :)

Thank you Vicman!  :cheers:

LoopCutter, I have your Leap ready to go out in today's mail.  I sure do apologize, but I had to gift you a brand new one.  I tossed and turned all night thinking my challenge Leap wouldn't be at my side any longer.   :ahhh

I sure hope that is okay by you.  Here's yours before packaging for transit.

I understand!, if you wish to keep both that will be perfectly understandable. 
I went through the same feelings when I gifted my OHT to Rapid Ray after the 2019 November OHT challenge. About February withdrawal symptoms hit and by summer I bought a replacement.  (Am I repeating myself🙄)

Funny I had trouble sleeping too!  Please keep yours and the new one as well.   😉

I will borrow a picture OK👍
Really!  I do understand, I can even wait a month or two if you need more time…
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

LC, I have your new one in the mailbox awaiting pick up.   :mail:

I really want you to have one, it's just that I got attached to the one I used in the challenge, sentimental reasons and all.  :tu:

I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for following along and even participating in some of the mini-challenges.  :salute:

I have been blessed by many surprising gifts during my lifetime.  Some special ones were from my dear bride during our marriage, from my grandkids, gifts totally from the heart, and others when least expected.

My most recent totally unexpected gift was received from our fellow member, SteveC.

I acquired a OG SuperTool just a couple weeks ago. Steve asked about a sheath, said I would use a mole or old box sheath from my ST300.  A week later I received

You still can change your mind!  Wait a few days, I am in no hurry, and new one is to valuable to share. I love old used tools.

A NOS tool will remain that way, it will have a spot in the display case below the Beaver Tails 😉
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Day 29 - Mission Accomplished

I have deeply missed my normal EDC, but like I said in the beginning… once every four years, I think I can a month long Leap challenge. 

Thank you for everyone participating and following along.  Huge thanks to FoBe for setting this one up and keeping it fun as I mentioned in my previous post.

Best wishes to all.

Day 29 - Mini Challenge

Knowledge is free, and I have received so many bits of wisdom over the years so I wanted to share one of my favorites:

“Do what you love to do so well, that someone will pay you to do it.”

That’s so motivating for me.  I just love it.  Also this one, “Use the weekends to work towards what you want to be doing in life, not to recover from what you have to do.”
