What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Pun?

 

I hung a plaque on my wall and got it level (something at which I do not excel.). This will be used to display my archery medals.

 

You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish. REO Speedwagon.

Right tool for the job! You have to scare them before you pull out the saw.

 

The TSD manliness quotient is dropping during the holidays!

I skied yesterday - manliness neutral I think. Planted about sixty grand fir seedlings today, filling in the holes left in the previous planting. That’s manly.

 

Walked about five or six miles, shot some birds... my dog did pretty well today...

 

Went for a 2 hour bike ride in the rain because it was the first time in the last month that I was able to ride during daylight hours.

Not really manly. It pretty much sucked, but was sorely needed.

 

I disassembled my old laptop to remove destroy the hard drive. I’ve done this before, but this computer was designed in such a way as to make it needlessly difficult.

 

By "destroy" I'm assuming you break the thing into pieces?

In my working world, I had the opportunity to take some training in computer forensics, etc. The person teaching it was "the" computer forensics guy for a large regional agency. Among some of the things he taught was what he called either a DOJ or DOD, I don't remember which, hard drive scrub. In that, the hard drive was reformatted, which theoretically deletes everything, not once but multiple times. I don't remember just how many times, but it was either 4 or 10. It was a bunch though. The theory with that being that while, as I'm sure you know, some "tidbits" remain, they are so scattered/minuscule as to be insignificant. ???

 

Yes, after re-formatting it (taking no chances) I shattered it to little pieces.

 

Finished my holiday shopping today! Picked up a few planners at lunchtime and then did an Amazon order. So glad to be done - it was starting to feel like a chore... Stocking stuffers are done as well as all gifts. I know many of you all were done weeks if not months ago, but I am just not that organized.

 

Organization?

What's that??

 

Took some time to touch up the blades on my knives (although I have a friend who says that sharpen knives like a girl).

 

Got the wood splitter fixed, $15 carburetor swap.

 

I ordered a Pizza & and Sandwiches for me and my wife..

I got the carbs cleaned up for the 1980 Goldwing. Waiting on kits. Also, removed the timing belts for replacement.

 

Wow, I sure hope you know how to sync those.

Survived wrapping gifts with my wife ...... she was holding the scissors.

Nearly lost a finger.

 

I allowed my granddaughters to paint my fingernails. Got to be a he-man to allow that sort of nonsense. Those kids have this man wrapped around their fingers.

But later I started to rebuild a wood lathe. Got to change bearings all throughout. And yes, I did it with multi-colored nails.
