What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

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.

 

You guessed it!

 

I'm a "Weiner", oh I mean "Winner".
So, what's the prize? Free vacuuming for a month???

 

No, Herbert uses a battery, so he has to charge.

 

That's re-volting.

 

Cleaned the cat box

 

Jokes like that make my hair stand on end

 

Silly Penguin. Penguins don't have hair.

 

Sorry feathers.

 

I had a quarter pound hamburger with bacon and a fried egg on it for dinner.
