Friday OT #1 - EDC

Wallet, keys, chapstick, and pocket knife.

My dad always carries finger nail clippers. It comes in very handy sometimes. But I’d never carry one myself.

Some of these things I keep in my vehicle. Maybe another possible OT topic for @Angie. Things you keep in your vehicle - beyond the normal stuff like spare tire, jack, owners manual, insurance card and registration.
 
Phone and purse.
Things in my purse I use every day: keys, wallet, gum, hand lotion, chapstick
Other frequently used items: hand sanitizer, Tylenol, phone charger
Best thing in my purse: Iowa State koozie!

For work I carry change, money clip, car key and work keys in my RF pocket. The work keys are hanging from the belt loop so I can easily fish them out of the pocket. RR pocket has a thin wallet. RL pocket is where the phone goes. FL pocket has a handkerchief in it. I didn't used to carry one, but with kids and runny noses I would rather have one on me than watch them pick their nose or worse.

When I'm not working I can have as little as just my phone on me.

Also I wear a fitbit watch and a wedding ring pretty much every day.
 
Wallet, Phone, Key

I will wear a watch some days if out doing errands but not normally an everyday thing. Maybe 1-2 days per week. Wore it 100% when still working.

(Old person alert!!) - Folding pair of reading glasses. They fold up at the nose-piece and the side pieces telescope. They fit in a little metal case about the size of a half a pack of cigarettes. Kind of expensive but SOOoooo necessary to see or read anything close up.
I need to get these. I have some slim glasses that fit in an aluminum tube but the length is still cumbersome so I am too often without. When did restaurants get so dark anyway? I can't see anything! ;)
 
somewhere Frank Reynolds is commenting on what he carries with his wad of hundreds.

Wallet and comb. (Many would argue that the latter item is superfluous, but whatever.) I used to carry my wallet in my right back pocket, but my chiropractor told me to quit - he said sitting on it all day mis-aligns the spine.

And I've never been a jewelry guy.....my wedding ring, of course, but that's about it. I am wearing a nice watch the vixen gave me, but if she hadn't, I wouldn't wear one. (Sorry if that last part was off-topic.)
