I took a bunch of stuff out of a curio cabinet, so a light could be installed. Then, I put every item back, exactly where it was before.
Lots of guys like building things and that takes attention to detail. So I’d say remembering where things belong is quite manly. Plus, I can get the light to turn on, by just talking to it.
Made Ham and bean soup ... may not seem manly now, but wait till later. The neighbors will think there's a gas main leak.
I split a bunch of Red Oak, for use in my smoker. All while having Bronchitis. Then relaxed and watched the movie "Dunkirk".
Altered a $6 plastic step stool to fit in front of/slightly under the commode. 15 minutes work with a heat gun and u-knife, works fine and MUCH cheaper than name brand.
I went to the store to purchase witch hazel as I've never tried it. Then while I was there I picked up a case of beer. I plan on drinking it while there is a a roaring fire in the fireplace with wood that I split. While watching a Jon Waynes western I plan on not doing any thing else for the day... Not sure if that qualifies as manly or not, but I count it.
I made it out to the mailbox (a cluster mailbox, half a block down) and back without falling on my tush. It’s wet & slushy and I have a balance problem, stemming frrom an old injury. So this took some guts for me.
Sent a letter to a company I bought a nice item from several years ago, an item I still use and enjoy. The owner of the company recently said something on FB or somewhere that was very insulting to customers like myself. He apologized but no one believes he means it. I know I don't. He said what he meant and meant what he said. That's his liberty, and it's my liberty to tell his sales department that when this one wears out, I'll buy from someone who doesn't hate me. So I did.
I got a reply. I have edited it because the idiocy of this idiot was HIGHLY political (he said he didn't give a rip) and I don't wanna risk starting anything.
