What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Took care of my wife’s illness today. Will probably do the same tomorrow. Guess that’s the only manly thing I did today.

@Xring3 that is very manly. I hope she is doing better soon.

 

I called the plumber to fix a clogged toilet. As long as he was there, he also snaked out a slow-running sink drain. Sometimes, the most manly thing to do is admit when you can’t fix something yourself.

 

Did he give you an auger AND a plunger>

 

Tore down 1920's Handyman (Hi-Lift) jack for restoration.

 

So, calling a plumber, and not doing the repair yourself is "Manly"?
Maybe I'm just a little too " Old School Manly". I only call a plumber if I have tried to fix the issue, and screw things up even worse. This rarely happens.

 

I took a warm bath and burned some incense. Then ate a hamburger and washed it down with a Samuel Adams.

 

We tried the obvious sorts of things, such as using a plunger. They didn’t work. Admitting you don’t know how to fix something (rather than keep screwing it up & making things worse) is quite manly.

 

Started rebuilding my pachinko machine I won with the winning bid at an online auction. Needs a lot of work.

They are cool gadgets. I had relatives that owned a nice one, back in the 60's-70's. It was fun to zone out, listen and watch, all those balls bounce around. But, I never really saw the point, or strategy to the game.

Japanese version of a slot machine. Win enough balls and turn them in for prizes. Japanese prohibits gambling for money. Consider this a skill game.

"skill" ?? How so??

It is cool, though. And even cooler you're restoring it.

 

Skill???

 

Cried today.

Isn't that manly now?

No?

Then I didn't cry today.

 

Men have emotions too. Hiding them is dishonest. Honesty is manly.

 

Skill comes with the way you launch the balls with the flipper lever. YouTube has videos explaining.

It was a joke.

 

On the weekend, we went to the pistol range. I shot a pistol with a suppressor, for the first time. It was interesting.

 

Elmer will never hear you coming now.
