What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I plead Dyslexia. Yeah, that's it.

 

Ah passions, I'll add another :
- shaving the pig for technique and brush bristles,
- enjoying his ultimate gift on the barbecue,
- all the while listening to a ball game in the summer sun!

 

The recent rains have made mowing a real challenge - not that I'm complaining - so I had to grab the string trimmer to take on the patch of weeds we call the lawn and the driveway.

The Arkansas River remains about 3 feet above flood stage east of Pueblo, Colorado.

 

I gave some beginning archers an improptu basic lesson.

 

Picked up a dead bird off my roof with my bare hands, at least that's how imagined it. In reality I just left it there...

 

You, my friend, are as brave as any brave soul I have met! As for me, my manly act was waking up this morning and finding a dead rat in the cage with my corn snake. (I have four snakes total). That wouldn't be a horrible thing except that..........(weak stomachs may want to stop reading)...........

It was the rat she ate three days ago. Still mostly intact but for some reason she regurgitated it. Ever smell a dead rat? Now take that and add three days of rotting inside a snake trying to digest it. I removed it....and unfortunately that wasn't something I imagined. Oh the joys of keeping snakes at times.

 

Watched CAPRICORN ONE last night, finished watching the tail end this morning (was slightly better than I recalled but the idea could have made for a great film). Then push mowed and did a couple loads of dishes/laundry. Gathered trash. Played with Barbies. Then had lunch out with the Wife at a small Spanish place nearby. Jarrito's soda water goes very well with it. Came home, layed out in the sun for a bit, then took a nap. May cook up a package of ground beef, haven't decided. Now posting on TSD.

 

What's more manly than sitting on my duff, shaving, and watching tv?

 

If only you were gnawing on a rib bone....that would be more manly.

 

It counts in my book. They look great.

 

Cooked supper for my wife and I. Did the dishes. No we don't have a dishwasher.

 

Playing with Barbies. Ask Gorgo2.

 

Oh... If only if only my friend

 

Same story near Denver...

 

Ah, living the dream!


btw - tell us more about the "Played with Barbies" part.
(or, maybe not)

 

Mowed the yard and cooked on da grill.

 

Hmmmm... shaving your duff?! Get the Drano!

 

Finished the wood flooring in my house, installed a new sink and faucet, watered the lawn, had an awesome early evening shave, and currently enjoying a cold beer while browsing TSD. Plus I managed not to kill any of my kids today which was no small feat. I hear that grandkids are so much more fun!

 

Real Men play the Piccolo and march during Memorial day

and when they're finished... they eat a hamburger.

Totally didn't do this (Or did I?)
Whistle's incoherently, puts on fedora, slides out of view....

 

Okay, is hanging out with my granddaughter manly? Rode the quad and taught her to shoot.
