   I couldn't make this month's challenge, but I can butt in on this week's mini challenge.  I read the rules, and it didn't say outsiders or kooks couldn't post, so.....  Hats off to everyone and friend Barry for this excellent thread.  G

Love the GREEN or is that LIME?

I do miss your daily reports from the hilltop🥲
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

     The unofficial IMR name for them is Lime Jello.  I might have to post another photo of them on See-Through Sunday.  Best wishes from the bleachers, Gary

Day 10

I keep forgetting to post these last few days!  :facepalm:

At any rate, cap lifter is one of my most used implements.

Day 10:

I used the Spartan’s mini screwdriver (set in my Leatherman bit extender as a handle) to remove the screws on my TI-36X Pro calculator to replace the battery.

Looks like someone tried to pry open a bit too much cans...

Former owner of this knife should have stuck to something simpler, like grabbing a rock.

What makes you think I didn't do it?   :ahhh

Actually, you are right.  I felt sorry for this one on eBay - it was like a grizzled old cat who can't get adopted - so wanted to give this one a good life for the remainder of its years.

Day 11

Sub-challenge accepted. Here is the Spartan with the two flashlights that I have and know to be working: an Olight I1R2-EOS and a Lumintop Nano Frog.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

And here's the Olight's beam shedding some light on the Spartan and a Schrade SP2. A similar photo with the Lumintop's beam was relegated to the cutting room floor, as it wasn't apparent enough that a flashlight was in use.

More cap lifter usage with my endless project list. Perfect for opening paint.

And almost forgot the mini challenge...Cybertool Light lighting up my Spartan.

Day 12: Picked up a snack at the store last night.  Worked on the yard yesterday, cutting zip ties on a deer barrier around some new apple trees we planted.   Unfortunately I didn't get any pics  :facepalm:

Day 12

Recent talk about the package opener had me wondering how the can opener did on packages. So I found a disused box and had at it.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

There is a trick to it (don't go from the edge), but the can opener got through the tape. The label was more difficult, but still possible.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

So, for my money, can opener > package opener.

I'm spending day 12 working on an IEP, or Individualized Education Plan for those not familiar with special education. Consequently, my trusty Spartan hasn't seen any use so far. I may take a break soon to check on how the Packers are doing, which could require the use of the cap lifter for one of the German Octoberfest beers in the fridge.
