    today? no

    Yesterday?

    oh yes,

    We had The Big Event here at Virginia Tech yesterday (big community service event, some 6500 people signed up and more showed up, we were then sent out to different jobs).

    I used my Leatherman PST a bit while we were doing yard work. my ZT0350 as well as my BK 14 got a lot of use too. Then I did a tune up on my bike using the PST and a set fo allen wrenches. no more squeaking, yay!

    I hung a radio on the wall today with my Leatherman Squirt Es4.

    Sharpening the pencil was to mark where the screws for the brackets would go.






    Removing the shelf stand:



    Putting the brackets up:



    Attaching the safety bracket to the radio:



    Hung the radio:



    Attaching more safety brackets, which latch the radio onto the top brackets:


    By the way, if anyone is looking for a great-sounding, wall-mountable radio, these Panasonic units are fantastic.

    Openede a case of beer (Zywiec, Polish) and a sleeve of diapers.

    Used the SD tip on my keyring classic to loosen the screws holding the bathroom door knob assembly so I could squat some spray lube into the mechanism. The door knob was getting squeaky. Tightened up knob assembly with same SD tip. Another home fix on the list of what I've fixed with a Vic classic.

    Used the main blade on my Rambler to cut a weeks worth of my moms pills in half.

    While I was pumping gas last night at the local Sam's Club, the lady on the other side of the pump called for the attendant. Seems she had gotten her bank card stuck in the reader on the pump and couldn't get it out. The attendant came over and didn't have anything to pull it out with, so I stepped over and used the pliers on my Vic Mechanic to dislodge it. Apparently the card was well used and had frayed edges, which jammed it in the reader.

    Love my Vic!

    Used my alox cadet to cut and trim some drop ceiling tiles for replacement, also use it to assist in replacing a basketball net.

    Used my wave today, like everyday. Mainly the plain edge blade to cut open boxes, cut some 4 mil poly off of the roll, trim a booger off of a ripped piece of Douglas Fir, and to tighten a screw on another tool.
    I also used my VIC Farmer to open a beer bottle or 2 tonight...I have tomorrow off while the plasterers catch up, so maybe it will be getting a work out tonight??

    Removed and replaced the thumb studs on one of my knives today so that I could sharpen it with greater ease.

    Victorinox CyberTool 34:

    • Disassembled a ventilation fan of an industrial air compressor to allow access to glue a thermocouple to the windings. Used the medium Torx bit and the pliers.
    • Upgraded the RAM in my computer

    Opening the diaper sleeve was the highlight of that particular duty, let me tell ya.

    It's got to be done if I want a good, knife-loving daughter one day:

    Used the blister pack opener on my Wingman to open my streamlight nano. That blister pack opener is so handy!

    Spent the weekend helping my girlfriend move. I had several knives available, but my 91mm Tinker did all the work I needed. I cut tape, flattened a ton of boxes, installed a new door knob, tightened and removed other screws, used it to open a computer case, and a bunch of other stuff. Even trimmed my nails with it and (after washing the blade well) used it for food prep.

    Opened up the clamshell packaging with my Leatherman Wingman. That tool works way better than a knife!

    Used the ruler on the side of my SwissTool RS to measure the scales of a recently arrived Camillus jack knife for possible replacement.

    Not very multi-toolish, I guess, but the Victorinox was handy -- closer than a tape measure or caliper.
