What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Rustled up dinner the old fashioned way

 

Youngest is starting to get it.

 

The repair shop, that was sent by AAA, to change my daughters tire friday, said they could not get the spare tire out from under the suv because the bolt was to rusted.

So today, I got the spare out from under the car, it requried a old rusty screwdriver to remove the dirt and rust. Changed the tire, then put the flat in the back so she could get it repaired.
it was raining the whole time

What is the world comming to when a tire repair shop won't repair a tire

Words escape me....

Made this 8’ wide outdoor workbench out of pressure treated lumber. (O.K. technically it was yesterday, but I’m going to put it into place today, so that’s two days of manliness).

 

I finished up cleaning the gunk out of the area below my shower stopper. Probably should attend to that monthly,. or every two months.

 

Daughter found her balance on the bike this afternoon so naturally she wants to ride constantly, even after dark. School tomorrow.

 

Work some more on console stereo ... recovered speakers and made some head way prior to SWMBO wanted the dining room back for dinner.

That all said; I'm really happy with the way the fabric looks.

Yes Rich, ..... I'll take pics when I'm done.

 

I just did mine last week .... man that's gross.

 

How often do you do yours?

 

As I said it's gross, so I do it when the water starts to slow down. Probably every 3 to 6 months ... wife has long hair.

 

Bought a new (to me) truck...nicest and newest I have ever had!

Great looking truck.

 

Is that a Stop and Shop in the background?!

 

I changed the heater/ac blower motor in my oldest girl's Saturn Ion. This is the work of brain damage from GM that actually has to be cut out with a blade.

There are screw holes for a bracket that should come with the new motor to install it. I picked up a motor that was a customer return for $15 instead of $55 because it didn't include that bracket. I improvised with about $3 worth of hardware from Lowes. And I ran a bead of silicone around the cut to seal it up. The bracket would have covered it if I'd had it.
I also had to dremel a bit to accommodate two threaded studs on the new motor that didn't quite line up, about 1mm off.

But everything is back together and working now.

 

Probably a better fix than the original.

I hope she appreciated it.

 

I took the entire family out to the gun range, yesterday. My 12 yr old daughter shot a gun, for the first time. I devoted 95 % of my attention to her, and the .22 cal Browning Buckmark. I didnt shoot, i just helped the others. The 18 yr old dauter, and 20 yr old son were shooting a Glock 17, 9mm. The wife was using a Ruger .22 pistol. The 12 yr old is a crack shot, easily placing most rounds, center mass. Very proud of her. Wife, mehhhh. Too jumpy.
