What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

No tape; just regular manliness (with some womanliness points for at least trying to use the instructions.)

 

Instructions! Say it isn't so!!!

 

Maybe they were in Swedish.

 

Excellent start. Post your shave, with pics, on the Straight Razor section.

I programmed a new Universal Remote for 4 different gizmos.

 

Were they 4 different gizmos that you actually own and use?

 

Yes; the TV, cable box, BLU-ray player & soundbar.

 

I changed the transmission in a stripper's pick up. Then wiped my hands off on my shirt.

No wait. That wasn't me. I'll keep working at it.

 

I bought, delivered and setup a power reclining chair for my wife's grandmother who is in Alzhimers care.
I didn't mind doing it, and I'm happy she is happy, I just wish my sister in law and her husband cared enough to at least OFFER to help .
Even with my bad back, and twisted hip I still got it to her.
(I know it isn't right to complain about others, but when it comes to family I take it personally)

 

I sanded down 2 tables & then touched up the finishes.

 

I overcame some major issues in a plumbing problem of my own making.

 

I will be blowing my shofar at services today. On a related note, Happy New Year to one and all!

 

When I do that, it's because I called a plumber after screwing up.

 

I finally heard SWMBO tell me that I ACTUALLY loaded the dishwasher correctly!
I knew all those days of playing Tetris would come in handy.

 

I pinned a straight razor this morning and have the blade going straight (no pun intended) down the middle, which can be a challenge.

 

Finished building a shaving brush as a gift.

Repaired a speaker (it had a tear in the paper cone) in my son’s console stereo and temporarily wired them up to test their sound. All sounds good; Thursday I’ll see about permanent wiring them and start the wiring on the turntable.

 

Bought a (possibly unnecessary) portable generator against the possibility of the Jersey Shore getting hit by another Sandy.

 

If you have it, you won't need it.

 

I honed two 100 + year old Straight Razors today, and shaved with one i had done a full on restoration on. Perfect shave.
