What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

am in the same boat but nowhere near your activity level..not since march.more stairs..

 

Get a lighter bike.

Congrats on the accomplishment! My butt hurts just reading about it.

 

Thanks. Lighter bikes were not made for heavier riders. Ask me how I know.

I have more issues with my hands and feet than my butt after a few hours on the bike. After riding from Pittsburgh to DC last year, I compressed nerves in both of my hands and had the outer half of both hands numb for over 2 months while it healed. I'm just happy I didn't have to have surgery on them.

 

Baked bread!

This week I've been conducting phone interviews, two in person (multi person) interviews and and after providing sufficient references; I was offered and accepted a position. On top of that we have plans to go away to a cabin this weekend ..... my current job is very physical, but with all this I've been exhausted and mentally wiped out.

This was why I really haven't participated on here much lately.

 

I voted. Had to drive to Philly to do it.

 

How I miss that.

 

We had an accumulation of about 6" but it was all gone by the next day when the temperature jumped by 40°. Current temp here is 60°.

Well, I disassembled the heat/ac ducting and removed the blower motor from my car to clean out the dead mice and their nest...not fun! Then I detailed my wife's SUV.

Dug out my old Mini Maglites today, cleaned them up and outfitted them with new Xenon bulbs and Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.

Dang, they've never been nearly so bright as they are now.

The power hasn't gone out here in years. But if it does, I'm ready.

 

Foot raced a 13 year old just to do it. He got 2 paces ahead but I kept right behind him until the finish (about a 100 foot sprint). May start jogging again.

 

Prepared for semi-hurricane Eta and...pfft. It petered out.

 

Went and cleaned out a barn root last Saturday, had my uncle lift me up there with the tractor bucket.

 

Shot arrows in the rain, hit my target and came home with the same number of arrows I started with.

 

I was given a lawnmower today. A Husqvarna 775. It was used for one year, and has been inoperable for the past couple of years, and was filthy. It was being thrown out. So, I brought it home, changed the spark plug, cleaned out the carb, and jet, because it was very gummed up. There was still gas in the tank. I drained the gas, and put new gas in. It started on the second pull. So, after an oil change, and a good scrubbing, it now looks almost brand new.

 

Did it make a yummy sound?

 

Not to the grass ......



Oh the inhumanity!!

 

Eye bleach STAT!
