    So when the thought of a "Manly Man" pops into my head: John Wayne, Chuck Norris, Frank Sinatra, Chris Kyle..... The term "Body Wash" is never included.

    If you want to use body wash on the manly thread, it should have to include a brand name like Gojo, Zep or Goop, and involve the removal of a petroleum product.

    I chased a huge rodent around the house and it gave up to my manliness. HA.

    Long version: The alarm system went off at around 2 a.m last night which woke me up from a deep sleep. To my surprise, it was a sneaky little rodent running around the whole house. I was too tired to even bother and disengaged the alarm. Fast forward to today morning: I phoned the people who installed the security alarm and narrated the incident. These guys [CSP] are kinda popular here in the GTA. I requested them to come over and inspect if everything is working alright. Apparently, the guy who answered my phone broke into laughter and suggested that I get a crowbar and chase the damn thing out of the house. I got bamboozled there, replied, "err okay" and hung up. I thought of calling them up later and driving the rodent away (my wife absolutely hates them). I grabbed a broomstick from the closet and noticed the cardboard which came with the security cameras. It read Wireless. *massive facepalm* NO WONDER the guy on the phone was fooling around with me. I was embarrassed with myself, headed to the kitchen because that's where rats love to chill. Now, it was my turn to destroy its sleep; I opened the cabinets, poked a stick inside and it fleed in a hurry. I played Tom and boy, it was fun! A lot of calories burned, guess there's no need to hit the gym today! :signs015:

    Don't forget you need a Brillo Pad, or Scotch Brite pad to scrub it all down with. :eatdrink047:

    I went fishing at a lake. I didn't catch anything. I didn't even get a nibble. The only fish I saw was a dead one floating by in the current. But... I went fishing. :cool:

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    On the bright side, you don't have to clean any fish.

    This kind of reminds me of my younger days though, when I went out to bars trying to pick up women.

    I think the hubby gets the Manliness Award for the week. When he recently learned that the young child of some friends has a heart condition, he began the process of getting their address flagged in the New York EMS system, for highest-priority response.

    How was your son and future daughter-in-law? Did you get them all set up in their new place?

    Not too manly ... work on formulating and perfecting my Florida Frost AS. Five parts Florida Water and three parts Osage Rub ... has a great scent and feel.

    A little more manly ... restoring and antique mill with stain and teak oil.

    Today I did my 200th ride (39 mi in just under 3 hours) since getting back on the bike. I have since pedaled 2523 miles (4036 km) in 221 hours. Feeling pretty good considering I thought my chest was going to explode in under 2 miles on my first ride.

    RyX DoH!

    Can't answer that. He is my fathers cat, and dad got him slightly used. He was full grown when the Craig's List ad brought him to our attention.

    I've splashed on Osage, then FL Water but haven't tried blending. Thanks for the recipe! Got a small bottle to put it in right here.
