What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Hope the idler wheel tyre is still good!
What cartridge are you putting on that?

 

The idler wheel is in fantastic condition and this is the cartridge I'm getting for is this one.

Cleaned the stock on my new 1944 Carbine. It was blotchy, dark, and sticky. Cleaned off the grime and applied seven new coats of BLO.

Before.

After

 

Nice work.
What is BLO??

 

I assume Boiled Linseed Oil

 

Replaced the air pump and relay on an Audi A8. Now it doesn't sit on the ground. After doing this job I don't think I would ever own an Audi.

 

I made my own ketchup.

 

Shouldn't that be "caught up" since you already did it?

 

Took youngest daughter to the range.




Not bad for her 2nd magazine ever.

Other holes are mine but my eyes are getting bad (an excuse and yet true).

 

Great job. That was about the same age my dad took me to the range. For me, it was a S&W Model 18 for my first few years of shooting. Then I got to shoot the .38 and .44 with light hand loads.

 

I modernized our fireplace.

 

I shot some arrows in the rain & hit my target every time. Then, I had the good sense to pack it in, when I heard thunder.

 

Um, laid on the couch and watched basketball?

 

The wife, the wife, and then the wife again.

Great way to start the day.

Began shopping for a used pickup. Gotta be a man to handle the rust!!

 

I built a firewood stand. 8 feet long and 6 feet high. I had to transfer the BBQ wood I had, next to the house, and that filled about 1/2 of it.
I was working in sandals, and saw my dog about 2 feet from my feet, pawing at something and jumping back. I thought she was trying to kill another lizard, so I pulled her back, and it was a 20 long Copperhead Snake. It kept striking at her, and she jumped back, then tried to get away, and she would pull back. Well, I pulled it all the way out, into the open, and smashed its head with a stone. My Husky/Shepherd mix pretty much saved me from being bitten. Good Dog.
In the end, the two young boys, across the street, got to get a good look at it, poke it with sticks, and learn what one of the .poisonous snakes around here looks like.

 

@DaltonGang I’m glad you & your dog are OK.
My “manly” pursuit today is building a dozen arrows from components.

 

Today, I helped my brother shop for a slightly used pickup truck.

Last week was not a good week for him. He had to have his horse put down, then a careless driver hit and totaled his truck a couple of days later.

 

That sounds like a rough couple of days. Best wishes.
