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

    She'll probably like the cardboard box it came in more than the gift.

    I made a large pot of homemade Chili, for the wife. She has been bugging me to do it for a few weeks.

    I installed a security camera at my front door in less than 10 minutes. Of course I cheated; I read the directions. Do I lose manliness points for that?

    You can redeem yourself if you:
    a) cussed frequently
    b) hit your thumb or otherwise injured yourself
    c) used the wrong tool but still got the job done
    or
    d) used duc(k|t) tape

    No, you gain points if you can install something using the instructions included for a device made in China.

    The hubby has to work late tonight, so I left him a little “hello” note on his desk. The manly part is that I wrote it by burning it onto a piece of wood.

    My day was CHEAP (AKA thrifty) .... Went to Salvation Army and bought four pairs of jeans for a total of $23.88; that's with tax. Two pairs of Levis, a pair of Canyon River Blues, and a pair of Rustlers. Maybe not manly, but I 'm happy! :happy108:

    Must be the hunter caveman in me. :susel:

    I corrected my typing and left it on his desk, after all.

    I don't know where it was made. But the directions were in clear, understandable English.

    OK, but I still get some for using power tools.

    Today was very manly. I took out the drill, first thing in the morning. I drilled holes in some handmade wooden ornaments (to add a hanging cord) and then drilled pilot holes into the back of a picture frame, for the screw-eyes.

    Later, I used the woodburner to adorn 2 olivewood butter-spreaders.
