What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I sculpted a dinosaur. He seems to be rather curious, so I named him George.

 

Al woulda worked too since he's Green.

 

had lunch with my son today.. fish and chips.. good times..

 

Not real manly, but feeling good and tired after riding 35 miles (56 km) of gravel today..

 

Put together a new piece of furniture...



Granddaughter on the way!

 

Kind of a strange thing to name your son …

BTW, Benny Hill was my favorite comedian

 

aahh yes , baby jail..

 

I picked up a set of abused shelves for my wife at local thrift store. Not that they were especially rare, but they were solid and somewhat pleasing looking, though looked like someone cut the arch with a saws-all and thickly painted it in mahogany purple. I set to it by redrawing the elliptical arch and used a micro plane to bring it back into shape. I filled all the pin nail holes (except one) and gave a real good sanding. Normally real wood only get stain and urethane or an oil, but this was painted with a shellac primer to cover the ugly purple mahogany paint and gave it two coats of my wife's choice of paint; parchment / linen colored paint. After reattaching the back and hanging it, I filled it with my wife's potions and lotions.

Results ..... happy wife ..... happy life!

Your bike looks quite tired too.

 

You would be too if you had to lug around 250lbs for a few hours...

 

And, no, *I'd* be dead.

 

Grand kids are fun! Congrats.

 

yup nip it in the bud..

 

Youngest daughter's birthday, took her to see Godzilla. Bought her the Godzilla she wanted. Just walked by her room and saw this.



Like Eddie Munster and Woof.

 

Shampoo carpets.

If I were to pay myself minimum wage it would probably be cheaper to buy a whole new sledge hammer rather than go to the effort of replacing the handle. But the manly thing would be to clean up the head and give it a new life with a new handle. Which is what I did
