Day 07:

A change-up today; I’m carrying my slightly modded 2018 Berry Pioneer. That means no scissors, so I’m also carrying a brand-new alox Classic. It’s the first Classic that I’ve owned in probably 5 years, and I had forgotten just how tiny they are (even compared to an Executive)!

This alox combo still means no tweezers or toothpick so I may or may not be cheating by carrying an Executive in the watch pocket of my jeans. I can’t comment on that.
Current SAKs: Explorer, SwissChamp, Handyman (modded), Climber, Super Tinker, Tinker, Woodsman (modded), Electrician, Pioneer, SwissTool, Executive, Ambassador, Champion Plus
Current Leatherman tools: PST, Original Wave, Wave, Wave+, Blast, Bond, Curl, Style PS, Micra

Boomer Sooner!

Day 7 bonus:

Got my tractor back from service (finally…) and used the pioneer to cut the tag off.

Another bonus is the pioneer on the seat of my grass mowing machine (cue Tim the Tool Man grunt).

I sincerely hope that they didn't put tape directly on that beautiful old Pioneer!

Fortunately not... It was shipped inside a zip lock bag, which was taped to a cardboard sleeve.

Good pictures and uses everyone!  :popcorn:

Day 8

I went for a blast through a nearby forest, and sliced an apple with the Farmer next to a stream. The somewhat darker red anodisation was an exclusive years ago for the main South African importer/retailer.





Winter is the main wet season in south-east Australia. I am east of Melbourne, in a regional area of Victoria. Winter just arrived and everything is beautifully green already! 😍

Alox Addict Challenge
Day 7 of 30

Spent the day on the bikes visiting a few of Georgia's covered bridges. Luckily, we ran into no mechanical issues that required a knife. After it got hot, we stopped and had some ice cream to cool off.

Day 8:

Had to drive two hours north, from Georgetown, KY to Connersville, IN ( where we are from… ) to fix a bad tire on my 85 year old mother-in-law’s riding mower.

Apparently, some guy charged her $20 to come look at it (service call fee) then said he couldn’t find a leak (even with soapy water) and refused to do any more.

I aired the tire up to 20psi, poured a glass of soapy water on the tire, and found the leak in about 10 seconds. Guy’s an IDIOT!!!!

Anyway, used my custom Farmer X’s inline awl to open the hole a little bit (couldn’t get the reamer thru the hole)(sorry, no pic of that…) then plugged it.

Waited an hour then went out and used the main blade to trim the plug.

Holding air and doing fine!  Haha

Interesting! What did you modify?

 Not much. None of the tools are modified, but I replaced the main blade with an older “rostfrei” stamped blade that had more belly and a pointier tip. The main modification was replacing the rivets with threaded pivot barrels and torx screws for easy disassembly.

Day 8/30: Alox Solo - Simplicity

Today I find myself appreciating the elegant simplicity of my Alox Solo. There's a certain charm in its minimalism.

Day 8:

Did some outside chores. Had a bunch of trimming to do along the edges of the trees/woods (mainly trimming back the smurfing honeysuckle  :rant:).

Pioneer opened the cellophane for the new pack of work gloves.

Used the can opener to help pull the stubborn cotter pin out of the trailer hitch. Yet another use for this handy implement.

Later, used the alox classic scissors to snip the tag off a long sleeve sun shirt. I’m hoping this shirt is cool enough to use for property maintenance during the summer. I like the long sleeves to help avoid poison ivy.
