What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I would have expected something morel like this

 

From a baby troll? Really?

 

Those look nothing like morels, these are morels:

 

Yeah, you're right

 

Not much ... restoring this shaving brush for my daughter in-law for Christmas. Used India ink to dye it. She likes blue and it will lighten when I buff and polish. The receiver for the knot was so miss shaped that I'm improvising a new one.

 

Just a friendly warning. Do not google "Mushroom toenails" if you are eating.

 

That's more like it

 

Yesterday I tore up some paper bad guys with my Ruger 357 mag. Then started today with a great shave with my Fatboy set to 9 with an Astra SP on its 3rd use. And now just woke up from a lazy Sunday nap still in my boots haha.

 

Nothing like a well seasoned cast iron skillet for cooking!

 

What Ruger .357 do you have? GP100, Blackhawk?

 

It's a New Model Blackhawk

 

I had one if those that was stolen. I replaced it with a 6" GP100, but I really enjoyed the Blackhawk. For a woods/hunting/target shooting gun, I really like the single actions.

 

Same here. I love single action since mine is mostly for target shooting. It's a 6.5".

 

I'll be doing a manly thing in a while...two laps(walking)around our big driveway, to make up for missing my gym time tonight. I was invited to a dinner gathering by a close friend of my Mom's who will be at the Memorial. Socializing helps with grief just as gym workouts do, I figure.

 

Saw this today and thought it was a pretty good start.

I'd like to change 21 to A good flannel shirt is worth 1000 words, . Then again I live in NE and work outside all year.

 

I assembled a new vacuum cleaner without using the instructions. (But to be fair, it only involved snapping 3 pieces together and turning one screw.)

BTW, my husband has a habit of naming inanimate objects, and the vacuum cleaner is no exception. It's a Hoover, so I'll give you one guess what we named it.

 

Herbert???

 

@Sara-s , did he name it Edgar ?

 

J. Edgar??
If so, you could use it to hang dresses on it, when it's not busy spying on the mop and broom' s activities in the closet.
