What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

..And a dog bed

 

He had a dog bed but he prefers removing jackets from hooks to lay on. He would actually rather lay on a sock than a bed. We had one for him in our room, but would lay on a 1/4" of the blanket that touched the ground. He's an odd one.

You know people begin to resemble and act like their dogs, right?

 

This may be the result of second hand smoke.

 

Shopped for and purchased a car with my son as a gift for his up coming college graduation. I hope I instilled some understanding of value, cost & price, negotiating, knowing when to walk away, credit, & not getting ripped off with "the warrantee".

 

I reached something on a high shelf at the supermarket, for another woman.

 

Scrapped some adhesive tape from a window with a DE blade, and succesfully logged the blade in my finger

 

Since we had a snowstorm Tuesday I wore my 5.11 waterproof/insulted boots all week at work. Needless to say they looked disgusting by the end of the week. So I took 'em down to my workbench and 25 minutes later they were inspection ready.

 

Helped the wife piece together our daughters bunk bed. Unfortunately it took two trips to the furniture store. I was able to squeeze the full mattress into the back of the Ranger but there was no way to get the bunk bed box in the truck and I didn't trust strapping it to the top of the shell since it was still covered in ice. Had to go back today with my brother in law and his F150.
Got the old twin frame apart, out of the way and the bunk bed put together in about an hour. Our girls can't wait to go to bed tonight which is a welcome change.

After traveling for 20 hours and being awake 26, I cooked dinner for my family, from scratch ingredients and a whole bird.



Yams
Zucchini and Onion
Mustard greens
Oven roasted bird.

 

I achieved a first (for me) at last night's archery tournament. Shooting at 3 or 5 spot target faces, I always miss a couple of shots. Last night, I finally shot a tournament on 5-spots with NO missed shots. Also scored a 271/300.

 

Outstanding Sara-s. HOOAH!

 

Thanks guys!

Shining my Bates and listening to Elmore James

 

I used some oven-bake clay to make a small display stand. Then, I used my bench-grinder to smooth out the edges. (I love power tools!)

 

The wife is out of town again on business - Australia this time. She doesn't care for ribs - so I took the opportunity to do up a mess of St Louis style ribs in the smoker. Spent the better part of the day yesterday tending to the smoker but the reward at supper time was worth it. First photo are the ribs rubbed down waiting for the smoker to get up to temperature. Second photo shows them in the smoker after about 4 hours. Last photo is a final glaze of a Carolina vinegar based sauce and ready to eat. Messy but so good.

 

Mmmmm ribs
