Not very freaking well! (Just kidding, up at 3:30am and I’m rarin’ to go!). (waiting for the crash) It was my pocket tool, trying to get the valve cover off, and I “snapped it like a twig”. Happily I have a spare one at home, but I was not going to go home from edina and then through edina to leave again.
This is the same pocket tool Lily has. I say has because her life is hers. It’s not like I’d be hurt (I would) if she didn’t use it. But it’s so useful! I studied long and hard to find this.
I wanted:
- Super small
- pliers
- scissors
- screwdrivers, whatever
- knife
What I got:
- All of the above
- tweezers (for the lols) (but I have used them for tiny screws and such)
- A “retail box opener” It’s a metal stick with a small diagonal blade at the end
- Bottle opener
I didn’t think much of it, just oh well it broke. Apprently it was more important than I thought. I reached for that thing for package opening, cutting paper or cardboard, jamming the screwdrivers into things to try and fix them but never using the screwdrivers for their intended purpose. The scissors even cut paper! It was a miracle of modern science. So when I’m out here in the wild and I need to do .. anything, I reach for it and it’s gone. Not even lost, so no hope that it will show up. I have a locking blade knife I got at F&F but honestly I paid too little and got junk. In order to unlock the blade and close it, you have to pull something over.. in front of the blade. Nice. I’ll make do for the trip, but it won’t be the same.
Good thing I’ve got that spare!
Other than that, this is how it’s going:
