What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Have you ever watched The Seven Samurai? It's a Japanese film by Akira Kurosawa that was remade in the US as The Magnificient Seven.

 

Today...I spent a quiet Easter with Mrs. Samurai and Son of Samurai. A really nice day!

 

Not if they want to sleep with real women.

 

I have watched The Seven Samurai, and I agree that it did remind me of The Magnificent Seven. Which came first?

 

Quite Sunday at our house took care of my wife. Had to split some wood. Still cold here.

 

Good point.

 

Seven Samurai (1954) vs Magnificent Seven (1960). Director John Sturges claimed he simply modernized (westernized) the Samurai story for American audiences.

 

Thanks!

 

Huh. Who knew thst archery guys had groupuies.

 

The American film is a remake of the Seven Samurai.

 

I hung out with my granddaughter Addy.

 

I finished up the painting for the front steps and rails I built for my wife. I had built the steps a year ago, but since she got her new knee, I have added the hand rails and the additional step on the porch to make it easier for her to get in and out of the house.

 

My mom just moved into an assisted living facility. She's treated very well, she's making new friends, and she likes it! My bride and I had dinner there with my mom tonight.

 

Today, I built a shelf for my target stand, using nothing but construction foam and duct tape.

 

All the manliest projects involve duct tape. /clappity

 

The really cool part is that it works as intended.

 

Used the Wahl clippers with 3/4" attachment to buzz the back and sides over the toilet, followed up with a trim with the old Playtex hair trimmer. Looks like $20, feels like a million.

 

Shaved and took care of my wonderful Granddaughter. She greatly enjoying playing with packing material. Made a mess but a great memory with Elli and her Papa.

Looks like she got a BBS shave! Well done!
