although I bet lugging that clock around all day got a little tiring, I bet most of his notes was about how he hated it..

People still do it all the time:

I know wrist watches came quite awhile later,but didn't they have pocket watches back then?Seems illogical to lug around that big clock.

Bet he lugged that clock around Flava Flav style.......bbooooooyyyyyyyy!

The hook is for picking up hay bails or just bails in general.

Bingo, any item with wire or twine binding.

All of our founding fathers were all extraordinarily multi-talented and TJ was good at just about everything. If you look at the supply list Lewis and Clark carried on the Corps of Discovery it shows that they brought everything you could possibly ever use. Lewis lived with TJ and was mentored for a year or so to get ready for the expedition so Im sure that TJ was behind most of the items carried. There was alot of cutting edge stuff that TJ had them bring like a 36 foot long collapsible boat and a .31 cal airgun!
