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
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.
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.
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.
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.
