What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

you should've seen me, I was covered in oil. Had to see where the coolant leak was coming from, #3 cylinder was low on compression and engine had coolant in oil. It was coming from between the liner and the block, has bad cylinder liner o rings. Needs head pulled and #3 cylinder kit pulled. Probably my Monday.

 

Yeah, well, I put together some doll furniture that Santa got for my daughter.

 

Very manly, being a good father. I wish I had kids

 

Did you use glue?

 

No, I had to break out the Phillips head screwdriver and deal with Chinese instructions that would have embarrassed the IKEA people. Afterwards I had a different kind of screwdriver.

 

I bet you almost broke out the duct tape/ballpeen hammer solutions....

 

... Got one in my go-cart!


What?

 

You gotta admit... Steve McQueen was Chuck Norris before Chuck Bronson was Chuck Norris. Or something.

 

Two years ago I built Barbie's Dreamhouse. It might have been her dream, but it was a contractors nightmare.

 

Smoked a turkey breast on my Weber grill for my in-laws family Christmas dinner, and smoked a pipe while the turkey was smoking.

 

Yo, dawg, I heard you liked smoke. . . .

 

I used to run a smoker while smoking. It was nice to enjoy a smoke right before you enjoyed a smoked meat. Its better if you do it in warm weather and can smoke after as well. then you smoke while smoking and smoke after eating smoked smoking meat.

 

Waiting for the raisin bran to take effect, then climb up on the roof to blow the dead leaves off.

 

Unseasonably warm weather in Alabama at Christmas this year, with temps in the high 79's, about 30 degrees or so warmer than average. Ripe conditions for tornados activity, and we experienced several severe weather outbreaks, with two tornados within a few miles of us. Fortunately, no one one was killed in my area, and damage was light overall, although where there was damage it wasn't pretty. Wearing shorts again today, which makes me wonder if we aren't in store for another round of severe weather.

 

Yes, from the grill and my pipes!

 

I cut up about a quarter of a tree that came down in a windstorm this week. The start of the winter firewood pile.

 

I BBQ'd steaks with my two sons today. Sat on the deck and enjoyed a good laugh.

 

Smoked a large pork roast. Seasoned first, and smoked for 4 hrs with red oak. Then slow cooked in the oven for 5 hrs. It made a large large platter of smoked pulled pork. Some people mixed it with Stubbs BBQ sauce, some ate it plain. I mixed mine and put it on a hamburger bun.
We served it with large baked potatoes and fresh corn on the cob.
Desert was Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm mmmmmm good.

 

I braved the rough surf for hours in search of golden treasures.

 

I worked on my straight razor technique.
