The usual contents of my pockets (3/30/2010).

 

blogged

I'm a life member of the Cyclists' Touring Club and have just received the latest magazine and the form to vote for four trustees. The form needs cutting from the information about the candidates and the CTC kindly shows a picture of a pair of scissors where one should cut. Naturally, I ignored that and slit the paper with my handy Swiss Army Knife.

My flight out of Paris was early Sunday morning, so I had to catch a train on Saturday and spend the night in Paris. I picked up the makings of a little picnic in Annecy before hopping on the train. Cheese from the cheese shop. Bread from the bakery. Fruit from the produce shop. All of it incredibly fresh. Why don't we eat like this in the US?

Victorinox Officers Model. The scissors are handy for garden use.

As he knows how fond I am of my Swiss Army Knife, my son bought this chocolate version for me some time ago. However, I like it so much that I haven't eaten it :-)

This is a Swiss Army Knife I modeled in Maya 2008 and rendered with Mental Ray. I created this composite image in Adobe Photoshop with renders from my scene.

The middle image is a view of all the tools of the knife. The top right corner displays the back of the knife. The bottom left displays the top of the closed knife.

We tried to spend about $10/day overall while traveling in Europe -- and mostly succeeded except in large cities. It helped that the dollar was strong then, but we also economized by hitchhiking, sleeping in our tent most nights, and eating picnic lunches every day. This was a fairly typical spread: a baguette, a brioche, a small round of goat cheese (hard to see sitting on the white paper wrapping), fresh milk (or sometimes wine), a fresh tomato and a fresh peach, and in this case, a jar of caviar. There also seems to be a stuffed item of some sort spilling out of the paper bag. The swiss army knife was our constant companion.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good Swiss Army knife. But this is just

silly.

A print inquiry from Consumer led to us printing their design for this Swiss Army Business Card. Themed in the style of a Swiss army knife with accurate scale rule and cut out SPORK® and CHOPSTICKS®. The card also has a space for the whoever gives out the card.

 

Spec: Business card dimensions: 55 x 85mm, 1 colour, 2 sides, 350gsm white board. Design by Consumer.

At some point, isn't just more convenient to carry around a toolbox?

This is the first souvenir we found with Everett's name on it, so we had to buy it. It's not the most appropriate gift for a two-year-old, but we had no choice.

My older Victorinox Ranger Model Swiss Army Knife is damaged. While cutting off the top of a downed tree (yes, a tree) the tree flexed and bent my wood saw badly. I've received a new SAK to replace it, but I'd still like to get my old one fixed.

 

Problem is, how do I get Victorinox to "update" my old knife (without the spacers" that the saw slots into) to make it even more usefull.

Played a little with different ways to take macro shots without a macro lens.

 

In addition to the 'Macro' setting on the phone, here I used the 'digital zoom' - to the max. It's effectively just a crop, but the Xperia has enough pixels not to pixelate when doing this.

 

(See the adjacent uploads for the story of this exercise)

Prusik knot and multiple overhand sliding knot/scaffold knot at one adjustable loop end and the other loop end runs through the bead and is ring/cow/girth hitched onto the Swiss Army Knife's split ring.

 

The 1.4mm nylon mini blind string/cord has a 70+ lb break strength.

I am ready for the end-times. me and this Swiss army knife is all I need.

Most people don't realize that there's a hidden tool space on their SAK.

This mini deck chair holds a book open while one is reading. The screw holding one of the arms in place came out so I'm putting it back in but one needs two Phillips screwdrivers to do the job - hence I'm using two Swiss Army Knives.

I had to take this key off my keyring. The tin opener blade on my Swiss Army Knife prised it open when my thumbnail couldn't.

My idea of what a real geek Swiss army knife should look like. Because let's be honest; R2D2 is the ultimate Swiss army knife. Modeled in 3DS Max and rendered with VRAY.

After one of the actual medical staff completed an actual medical procedure, the floor nurse told my mom that there was a new doctor who wanted to see her. I walked in, brandishing my Swiss Army Knife with the corkscrew tool extended, and told her that we'd had very good results with this new surgical tool.

 

She was stunned. She hadn't expected me, so seeing me walk into her room in full surgical garb was a big laugh.

 

This time she was in the hospital for five days. I spent the last three of them with her and got to help them get her home. She's on oxygen, as well as an antibiotic and an inhaler, and she's been instructed to monitor her temperature twice a day, at least one of those in the evening as night fevers are a symptom of pneumonia. When I drove away, she was in very good spirits.

 

So that's where I've been for the past week or so.

Für (fast) jedermann - frau etwas dabei!

Mum slept well last night (not surprisingly!), as did I. We thought one of her hearing aids was playing up this morning, but it turned out that her ear was actually blocked up with wax. Mum was about to shove a cotton bud into it, so I stopped her, and had a look inside her ear. It was a bit tricky holding the iPhone (on torch function) and holding the ear canal open enough, so I rigged up this head-light, which worked pretty well :-) I managed to remove enough wax with my Swiss Army Knife tweezers to enble Mum to hear properly again, wiping the wax on the cotton buds, then cleaned the outer part with another bud or two. [Apologies to the squeemish!]

 

We had lunch with Olive at the Rose & Crown (although Olive had cancelled earlier in the morning), then I sorted out some more of Mum's flowers - she was given another bouquet by Shane & Claire, at the Rose & Crown. They'd oredered them to arrive yesterday, but they only came in the late afternoon after we'd gone.

the real thing, and no, there is no corkscrew in it !

The only SAK I have right now (that I know of), and a gift. I love it.

Usually this is all it takes. I've had these tools in various configurations for years but I've wittled it down to this minimum set.

 

1) Multitool. Old school leatherman.

2) Swiss Army Knife. Victorinox 'Camping' model.

3) Maglite solitare

4) Utili-key minitool

5) Craftsman 4 way flat blade screwdriver. Very good for prying things apart.

6) Pen

7) All kept in a 'Pleasure Plus' case.
