Crumby's Most Sedentary Hobby

Just the other day we were discussing how nice the weather had been up to that particular point in time.  Yet, as anyone with a lick of sense knows, you should never speak good of the weather in these parts. Cause, it will turn on ye.  Turn on a dime.

That's right.  The weather is  too hot fer Jesus all of a sudden.  There he is, fetched up next to the AC in his undears.

And Crumby needs to stay in too, with his sak collection where it's cool.  See below how Crumby has fixed up a cliff dwelling or housing project for his collection of saks; many Swiss and one Spanish army knife.

Sometimes the Swiss can be heard calling to one another as they play simple games.  "Hans!  Toss me the cabbage.  I'm open."

Out front of the housing project are Crumby's latest acquisitions.  On the left is a Victorinox Voyager featuring an alarm clock built in.  On the right is a Wenger Highlander, an elegant pocket knife.

The project building blocks were pre-fabricated and transported to these shores courtesy of the People's Republic.


Alas, Crumby has almost run out of saks to collect;  those that meet his hobby guidelines.   Let's recall those guidelines we are now discussing.  The sak must contain an interesting tool or tool configuration and the tool or tool configuration must be one that Crumby would actually use, at least theoretically.

A discontinued, supposedly rare, sak that Crumby is considering for his nice collection is the Victorinox Whistle.  The Victorinox Whistle features a whistle built in to a scale or handle.  The other tools,  small knife, scissors and nail file are mostly for nail maintenance.  So,  the guidelines are met.  All except that Crumby would need to put the handle of his nail maintenance tool in his mouth to blow the whistle.  Hmm.
