Not really, you just want to have good tools. Like with us more knifey people it tends to get out of hand. :D

Yes, Evil Bay has reached its tentacles even here. Though I have ordered things from the Net I for some reason do not feel comfortable with it. Easy bending means low yield strength and together with easy breaking that tends to point to cheap and inferior material and/or short cuts in heat...

I see there is a world of needles. That eyed awl looks awesome, I have no idea how practical it might be. I see a trip to city center in the near future, there are a few shops selling things like that still left. Hmmm ... sail makers use large needles but they'll have the yacht extra on their...

My knowledge of sewing is very limited. I apparently have to use a very thick thread (2-3 mm depending a bit on the way of measuring) for some carpet repairs. What kind of needle to use or if not needle then what? Thread looks and smells like hemp.

You may well be right but I have somewhere a faint memory that they might have been involved in making the bayonets that Peltonen used for his first sissipuukkos, don't really remember well.

Got another 12cm of snow yesterday. Public transit in shambles for the whole day.

Of course it looked miffed, it brought the mouse to you as very apparently you were incapable of hunting them yourself! :D

Quite warm as the hair is hollow, sheds a lot as Pattree said.

Ha, start from 60 cm of fluffy snow and -20C. :angelic2:

I have 3 or 4 blades waiting for a handle, maybe finally I can decide what kind I want ...

.. and then flip over in a fairly uncontrolled way ... But I do admit it is kind of problematic. :)

Military pilots have a working system for that. :whistling:

Haven't done any flyfishing in about 30 years, might be a good time to restart. We have less insect species here but on the other hand our mayflies fly until July-August.

GPS Status shows all satnav satellites, your position, heading, elevation etc. Also shows all sensors that exist on your phone and readings for those.

I like the way the OSM map has the added descriptions like "cherry tree" at the north end of the walk. Nice day and good video.
