Pics, or it didn’t happen!

This weekend.

Close enough.

Cold snap here in Florida (50s, heh) so I put on a BA pot of chili.

I connected a sound bar to my TV. Followed the instructions & couldn't get a sound out of it. Then, I ignored them and got it to work.

Bonus points if you used any form of concussive maintenance.

No bonus points; just used a connection method not stated for my TV.

I changed the oil on my Wife's 2019 Toyota Highlander.

Why was her car covered in oil in the first place ???

I always thought you had to be under the car to change the oil not on it.

I sewed leather.

I have completed a manly task started months ago. In the fall, my mom gave me my Dad’s Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. He had bought it about 45 years ago. My mom chose to give it to me, as neither of my sisters was likely to restore or use it.

As it is quite “manly” to know the limits of what you can do without help, I sent it to Victorinox, for repair. Their US repair center couldn’t handle it & offered me the option of sending it to their main factory in Switzerland. I did so and finally got it back today, beautifully restored. Some parts had to be replaced, but most of the original parts are there, now clean & sharp. Here is it, with the old parts, for comparison.

Got the front breaks on my 99 Olds Aurora replaced before our most recent snow storm rolled in today.

This one has been sitting in a drawer since the 80s. After seeing this post I sent them a message about getting it repaired.

Good for you! I see one of the scales is missing. Does it need anything else, other than a cleaning & sharpening? Please let us know how it goes.

No. Just scales I think. Will keep you posted

The picture was sideways for me. I thought you were playing with a crossbow in the house...

Mom always said, don't play crossbow in the house.
