What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Happy birthday!

 

If the category is men who are members of TSD who enter beard competions, I'm surprised you didn't take first

 

I cleaned the deck with the pressure-washer.

 

(Last night, actually) Replaced the regulator on our gas grill. The reset procedure didn't work so I replaced it with one from a grill that a neighbor was disposing of.

 

Tuned up all the lawn care equipment. Hadn't done so in about 3 seasons, so it was due.

 

I gave a neighbor a Edwin Jagger de89 clone, some blades, and some advice. I had seen how dismal his cart shaves were and I wanted to help. I told him about The Shave Den, so we may have a new member.

 

So we finally broke down and bought a Pressure Washer for the house.
I really wanted it to do the upstairs deck for Sealant prep, and to wash the cars and equipment

The Yamaha we got at Costco actually came with one of those surface washers so I decided to try it out on the "Toy Hauler / Utility Trailer before doing the deck on the house hehehe

Honestly, I was impressed with how well it worked with just a little clean up after using the White 40° tip after a spray down with ZEP deck cleaner the trailer wood looked new again.
I got some Nutmeg Brown Thompson's "transparent" and a roller at Walmart and viola' a new looking Toy Hauler again

Feeling pretty proud hehehe... Now to take it to the hills on Sunday and get everything dirty again

 

Spreading the love!

 

Haha! Entered a category I haven't participated in before... first shave in 2 1/2 years....

 

showered, went to work, slow today. came home and cracked a beer...

 

I r-framed a piece to art for my mother. Then I fixed a cracked wooden door.

 

I worked a 10 hour shift, off 8, then a 12 to finish gathering data for a big bid that was dropped on us last minute.

 

Remodeled the fence in the back yard,

When I originally built it we had 3 dogs and didn't have a door from the Office into the yard, so I built a Double gate system..
After 17 years we had opened those gates MAYBE 3 times total and never in the last 10 years, so we decided to remodel it into a Shade/Snow cover
Lil Remi was NOT Helpful she decided Daddy was back there to play













This is something I built about 3 years ago for the UTV I call it the 53mph workbench
It is a fully functional 3'x5' bench made from scrap lumber that fit the back of the Ranger, all I need is any plug and I can load her up with all the tools and saws I need for the projects I am doing.
The Chop saw actually locks down on there, and the best part is if the project goes overnight or the rain comes I button it all up and sneak the "Machine" undercover and all is good






After all was done Remi decided Daddy needed to pay attention to her




Ready for the weekend

 

I replaced the Carburetor on a Husqvarna 445 chainsaw, as well as replacing the muffler bolts(one was missing). It was cheaper to get a new carb, for $14, than getting a rebuild kit. I also replaced the sharpened chain on the Husqv., and a Stihl MS441 chainsaw. I've been very busy and didn't have time to sharpen the 18 and 28 inch chain, work thing. So, iI found a local guy that did them in a couple of hours, for $5 each, and did a great job.
With the wild weather we had around here lately, I decided to have all my chainsaws ready, at a moments notice.

 

got a haircut, and picked up stuff for a barbecue tonight..

 

Enjoy...wish I was close by.

 

Mowed the lawn
Took my son to baseball practice
Put a new battery in the Harley

 

Mowed the lawn and sprayed the weeds along the fences. That, and a trip to the grocery store.

 

ground up some kicking horse grizzly claw coffee and had it with some baileys, yum..

 

Over Saturday and Sunday ...

Celebrated wife's, daughter-in-law's and mother-in-law's Mother's day. Then today my mother's mother's day.

Then last but not least ..... repaired an Apollo razor.
