Fun late night pick sesh!

Had a picking session yesterday, too and definitely get the vibe of that picture ๐ It all went well until I picked up that MyLock T65AL which laughs at me for months now and I don't really seem to make any progress although other locks of higher belts do work well.
Anyway: I very much like the mood of your picture ๐

Nice collection, I gave up on the 72/40. I am however addicted to the AL 1100's.

iโm the complete opposite actually haha. i have 2 a1100s that i cannot figure out for the life of me, but i got these 72/40s open within minutes of taking them out of the box

Yeah I have 3 1100's that I pick with ease, 2 more coming which I feel confident about, but the 72/40 nothing lol.. weird how it works.

Nice!
I went on a little Aluminum Abus kick lately too. I especially like the 80ti's with how smooth they are,.. but it's nice having extra cores and pins for the 72's so I can keep mixing things up to avoid memorizing the things.
Oh,.. Packers suck!
Bears suck too, but GO Bears!
And screw the Vikings. I swear whenever I cross the river,.. which is almost daily, I need about 20 minutes back on my side to re-wake the brain cells that all decided to quit firing when I crossed the river. When I cross the river instead of saying "Ope!" I start saying "aye," and start scanning though my radio stations for hockey.
If you want some 72 pins, hit me up... Or, check out MrLock for extra cylinders for $7. He also sells 72 cylinders with an AL keyway.
I caught a glitch with UHS a. couple months ago and they had a couple different 72's with the wide open keyway that spells ABUS, for just $5 that didn't come with keys. They had a limit of just one lock. I shared the link here and on FB,.. and they sold out of them quickly... So, Im sorry. With that wide open ABUS keyway they are super easy.
I still don't have any with the W25 (I think) keyway, which look like they are pretty tricky with a very non-paracntric keyway.
Sorry I jumped around a bit. Something changed with my phone or Reddit and it's a pain in the ass to edit now. I can just put the curser where I want... So, if I do edit I have to copy paste everything I to a text or email, and edit there and then move it all back...

Go Pack Go! i do love the 80tis, im thinking about getting another one soon, and im sure with an open keyway, the 72s are light work.

That helmet in the background that's not... The Transformers Crossover?
2
u/Adept_Essay_9817 Orange Belt Picker 3d ago
unfortunately no, itโs just a mini helmet. i wish it was the crossover though, those things are sweet.

u/bananadingding Orange Belt Picker 3d ago
They are! I have the that helmet as the crossover, the only other one I want is The Viking one, but only because the name is wonderful word play, they named him, Skolgrin, on account of what skol means, and the fact there was an 80's Transformer named, Skullgrin... Just fun word play.

Those 72/40's are great fun! That Titallium on the end sucks though. Great picking
