A free ice thickness ruler

Well, it's free if you manage to sneak it out of your kitchen without your wife noticing it. I managed it.

A slotted spatula:


I just bent it so it became square, and measured and wrote numbers on the handle (with a permanent marker).

I'm not sure what will happen when my wife can't find her spatula, but we might have fish for dinner that day, or we were supposed to have fish, at least.

It's an "old" picture (6 days ago). I'm already up and skating :)
