What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Vegetarian bacon?! Who needs further signs of the Apocalypse?! What an abomination against nature!

 

Ever notice how vegetarians always are trying to make vegetables look like meat. If soy paste is your thing - great - but don't try to make it look like a hamburger.

 

That's manly in my book brother.

 

I just got home after going to the bike shop and picking up my bike that's been in the shop for the past two months. It's 32 degrees (F) right now and it was 34 degrees when I picked up the bike for the half hour ride.
Actually I was quite comfortable since I was dressed properly but it did feel manly.
I suppose everyone driving a closed vehicle thought I was nuts but the next few days are calling for freezing rain/rain/and possibly some snow so I decided it was now or never.

 

I just finished making a gallon of chili* ... yeah, I may have miscalculated someone else's recipe just a tad. Anyhow, I subbed pureed Thai chili pepers (the charmingly named "rat poop chilis" -- prik kee noo) + chili powder instead of a habanero +chili powder. It's just hot enough for normal people with a little after-burn in the back of the throat. I just had some for lunch and it looks like a fair portion will be going to the freezer.

*ground beef + 3 types of beans

 

Took the girls to lunch.

Just tore down and fixed a falling apart 1948-50 S.S...it had the drop, a crooked riser and was full of mineral deposits. Now it's working, lubed and polished and will be tomorrow's shave. Feel good about it, as I was ready to trash it.

But lunch was best part of day.

 

bought a new coffee pot(Mr. Coffee, 2015, made in China), for ,my BLACK coffee. Also bought a brand of men's shampoo I really like.

 

I took my father to the gun range, and we sited in his AT15. He hasn't shot one before, and I had tho explain everything to him.

 

I made eucalyptus soap, to de-stink my manly man.

 

I should have posted in this thread on Saturday, but I was a little busy. Nothing more manly than walking your beautiful daughter down the aisle. I'm still walking on clouds

 

How cool for you. And her too.

 

you both look great. Lucky you didn't have to wear a tux.

 

Congratulations!

And... you're not nearly as ugly as your baby picture. It must be a relief.

 

Congrats!!!

 

Beat me to it! Proof a kid'll grow into his ears!

 

Thank you. Penguin fat soap helps with my complexion.

 

And it comes in a handy dispenser.

 

Absolutely awesome

 

Hmmmm...
Which part does it come out of?

 

That falls under the category of "You don't want to see how the sausage is made".
