[Retired UPS Driver]

Used this Frontier AA 41 for the first 16 years of my UPS career. Simple, but was an unfailing workhorse.

I have this old wagon wheel. If Modoc ED ever visits, I’ll feed him a home cooked meal (no Spam, sorry), and he’ll call it the Wagon Wheel Cafe East.

Sounds like a plan Jeff Amir Fleschwund . If that ever happens, I'll bring a couple Wagon Wheel Cafe cups with me.

My carry for the last week in Cape Cod started out with just the Sak Sportsman I always have on me. I added this Camillus my son picked out of a bucket of crappy knives he got at the Wellfleet Ma. Flea Market for $5.

Nice, I never find these nice vintage knives when I go to Wellfleet!

An inmate recently posted a couple of pics with this hat in it. I apologize that I can't remember who it was and searching for the posts has proven futile so...whoever you are, you cost me some money
I had to have one
Today's mail call (29 used to open the box).

Another foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Just got back from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride the usual lamb and always handy SAK. Giants and 49er games later. Have a great weekend folks!

It's an absolute gem. I keep one blade for carving, one blade for everything else. The screwdriver/scraper is only limited by your imagination for useful tasks. Good size for your hand and robust in construction. Snowman carved withe 53E

You’re right about thr TL29 style utility blade, which is one reaso I carry one so often. The scraper section of that blade on the GEC is much sharper out of the factory than any standard TL-29 I’ve ever seen.
I do not have your skill for carving, but I do the same ~ one blsde gets the dirty work, one gets the easy/clean jobs.

My only Stag knife..... this seems wrong.

Look at it this way ~ you could acquire a whole cigar box full of stag knives, without finding a prettier one.

Not what I really wanted to spend Saturday morning doing, but water company called and said we had a leak somewhere.

Found it.

Fixed it. Punch blade works well for cleaning up pvc cuts.

Oh man, the memories. During my years working for a tree farmer, finding and fixing broken field tiles was a constant chore. Often, I was the one who’d find them. I’d see a sinkhole while out mowing. But sometimes, there’d just be a big wet area, which meant “fishing” with the backhoe.
Some of those tiles had been laid 100 years earlier, and we had to guess. Sometimes it was just patch, other times, we’d rip out entire sections of clay tile and lay all new pvc. Either way, I was the guy in the hole.
Good luck with your water bill!

Blue ... mmmm good!

Voodoo Blue paint to sample ... 12K option! Not my car but love it till I'm blue with envy.

Only reason I can figure to have PORSCHE in huge letters on the top of the spoiler is so the highway patrol helicopter will know who they are chasing @200+ mph

My friend Glen's old air cooled 911 with 197,000 miles. He still tracks it!

Stay safe Frank

Nice smoker, Jim. My dad used to use one almost exactly like that to smoke antelope and deer jerky...very tasty.

Took my vintage 1977 Vic out to tinker with my bike.

If I could only have one tool it would have to be one of these,so many uses.

The old uns look best.

Nice car’s Chief! But you know the old saying, “What’s the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche”

Great job finding and fixing, we had the same thing happen at work this week in a gravel parking lot. Good to see the HJ already pulling its weight.

It is a very nice one, though!

I agree with Jeff. If you could only have one you picked a dandy!!

My first job was working at a tree nursery, so I am pretty comfortable fixing pvc irrigation systems, but I don’t enjoy it. Got started early while it was still cool and luckily it looks like the leak is fixed. I’ll leave it exposed until tomorrow to make sure.

I am fortunate that my water company will reverse any water overage due to a leak (once per year) as long as it is fixed within 3 business days after being notified, so hopefully I won’t be charged for the excess water since I wasn’t notified until yesterday.

Great job finding and fixing, we had the same thing happen at work this week in a gravel parking lot. Good to see the HJ already pulling its weight.

This HJ is awesome. My preferred main blade, and I am finding more and more uses for the punch. So far today it has de burred some pvc cuts, and assisted in the “shotgun” of a cold beer after the plumbing was fixed. Back on track for a good Saturday afternoon.

Punches are also handy because sometimes you just want to poke something
