What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I washed and polished my Harley, custom made a back pad for my solo mount tour pak, installed lower saddlebag mounts. Waiting on upper mounts so I can re install hardbags.
I have a 2007 softail deluxe that has fairing and hard bags (softail Bagger). The upper mounts broke and I lost a bag going 70 mph on the interstate. I recovered the bag but lost the brackets. Bag has minimal damage

I used the wood burning tool to make a customized Sabbath bread board for my sister’s upcoming birthday. Side 1 says “Shabbat Shalom.”




Side 2 says her name ‘Zahavah Yaffah”.

 

having a few beers, watching goodwood festival of speed...

 

Today I discovered that my hair is short enough that I can comb it just fine with a bladeless Old Type Gillette. Last week I discovered the blade should be removed first.

 

Well, better to learn things the hard way then not at all.

 

So, none of your other combs made the cut?

 

That's better than waiting in line at the hairdresser for a permanent. There's nothing worse than a curly queue.

 

Sounds like a hair-razoring experience

 

Replaced the broken hinges on my wife's bathroom window. It was a good excuse to use my chisels and hand planar to complete the alignment. Also, I cleaned some old light paint spray off the glass using a discarded Astra SP blade. It worked great, no scratches. I assume one could get similar results from, say, a Derby, but why take chances?

 

Celebrated with my wife, twenty-seven years together in marriage.

 

Nyuk nyuk nyuk

 

I repaired the finish on one arm of my couch. On the side where I sit most often, it was rather scuffed. So I sanded it lightly and put a couple of coats of polyurethane on it.

 

beers at 12: o1

 

Got my Stihl FS-250 brushcutter started again by removing the carb and disassembling it to clean the screen. And ordered my first ever set of Naniwa stones to learn to hand sharpen knife blades (no straight razors for me thanks). Also finished cutting the grill cloth frames for a set of 15" JBL bass speakers I'm refurbishing. Have the new cloth (Sunn/Fender style), metal corners, 1/4 inch jacks and 10 gauge speaker wire ready to install on freshly Duratex coated cabinets.

 

I set up a folding bookcase. Having some concerns about its stability, I added a cross-brace to the back & a mantel top. The fun part was gettting them. Each piece had to be ordered from a different supplier. Here are some pics;

 

Today I was eating lunch with my wife in a real nice place. This guy passed our table and said something nasty to my wife. Then I proceeded to knock the guy around.
That wasn't the manly thing I did. The manly thing I did was to pick the guy up and put him back in his wheelchair and sign his body cast, get well soon.

Very cool!

BTW do I see Elroy?

 

You do see Elroy. You have good eyesight.

 

No, just a kid at heart.
