What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

the arko was great ,love it. the veg is my first floral scent, wife loves it on me. i will need more time with it , but tabac was the same for me as well, i love tabac..

 

Lucky are the chosen, doubly lucky are the chosen whose spouse applauds that choice.

 

i helped a female friend find a tractor tire
i used to flip one regularly, and need to get back to it, along with sledge hammer swings and (box) tire jumps.
i talked to her about the nuances of proper tire and even gave her my source for the secret tractor tire graveyard

 

Wasn't there a steven king novel about that?

 

thank you sir..so far so good..

 

Does that mean he lost it after the 2nd jump?

 

Pretty much. Easiest release ever, in the history of fishing.

 

My reference was to the mythical/ secret elephant grave yard in old Tarzan Re runs

Where tires go so they don’t die alone



Edit...
what would be manly is I went out side and flipped it, hit with a sledge hammer, jumped it......

 

I used the Dremel, to carve notches in 2 embroidery hoops. This enables them to slide easily under the sewing machine foot, without forcing them. (I am learning machine embroidery.)

 

I've spent the past 2 days removing popcorn ceilings from my dining and living rooms. I'll finish them up tomorrow. I'm going to find whoever invented them and give them the beating of their life.

 

That stuff is tough to remove but it use to be the rage.

 

My kids got a magnetic dart board last Saturday. The 8 year old has a good eye, so much so that we went and bought a real board last night. I was always pretty good at it, can still score decently, will try to help her improve ... last night I would call random numbers on the board and she would hit him on the second or third try from about five feet away. Not bad for a kid who's only been doing it for a week.

 

Cheap board but good enough.

 

I want to use some of my embroideries as wall hangings. For this, I needed a dowel and some end caps, to keep the hanging cord from falling off.

I got 3/8” wood dowels at Lowe’s. They come in 48” lengths, so I had them cut (in the store) to 3 segments of 16” each. Then, off to Michael’s for end caps that purported to have 3/8” holes. Not one hole was actually the right size; all were off by about 1-2/64”. That’s just enough to make the difference between fitting and not fitting. But, with help from my vise and drill, the holes are now the right size.

 

Dug trenches.

 

Doggie helped.

 

Puppy's looking for it's lost bones.

 

Not sure how manly, but thrifty.

Making another batch of homemade laundry soap. Cost less than $18 and last a family of three 16 months.

 

Ouch!

 

Need your recipe.. store bought stuff is expensive!
