If you have watched the Toy Story movies, you know how inanimate objects like to get out of the box and be played with from time to time.   :tu:

Day 8



Used the flat driver bit to remove and install wall plate screws today. Got a good chunk of painting done in the kitchen.

Powernoodle Day 9


Opened a toy from Amazon.


The scissors ate the zip ties easily.

Yeah its the kind of thing that just about every homeowner could benefit from.  That cabinet I needed to get up on sliders was super heavy, and the jack made it easy.

I used to be able to muscle around anything that I needed to lift and/or move, but those days are rapidly receding in the rearview mirror  :D

Yeah, I use to be able to muscle things around quite a bit without thinking to much. Then I tore my bicep tendon. Now I have to pay attention to what I lift.



Jack looks very handy. I am going to look into it.

That's a tough injury!  I used to muscle my way around too.  I've dinged myself up a lot especially in the past 10 years.  :facepalm:

They are $118 shipped on Amazon Prime.  Well worth it IMO, especially for the workin' man like yourself.   :tu:

I'm posting this before Lisa does -



Not to be confused with Wild Blueberry Noodle Kegel - which is a totally different thing.

Yes, you got it. Benchmade 550SBK Griptilian. The scales are aftermarket G10. They are patterned after Applied Weapons Technologies Archon scales. AWT scales come in Aluminum with a backspacer. I went with the black G10 with titanium barrel spacers. I prefer open back construction which makes cleaning the knife easier. For the hardware, I went with raw titanium for a little contrast and corrosion resistantance.

Sick.  You know - in a good way.  I have about 3 Griptilians.  One was Cerakoted about 20 years ago, and the other 2 are stock.

Powernoodle Day 11


John Adams got a haircut.


I used the ARC to remove his fashion bandana.



Then he ate a red pepper to celebrate surviving his ordeal.

Powernoodle Day 12



I used the P4 to open a lamp for our new crib.  Again, the P4's scissors were not working well.  Small variances in the manufacturing of scissors apparently result in large functional variances.

I'll just add that my Victorinox Manager scissors ate it just fine.  Victorinox has always produced the best scissors IMO, unless you need Surge scissors to cut canvas or some such.
