What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I sang Let it go with my soon to be 4yr old granddaughter. So much fun.

 

Wow, I must have really over slept.




I even got the stereo indicator light at the base of the console to function.

The only down side is now my older son want one for his birthday.

Cost ...

Console ..... Free on Craig's list
Yamaha receiver ..... $20 Craig's list
Miscellaneous parts .... ~$20 Ace hardware and my electronics bin.

Results .... one very happy 23 year old birthday boy.

 

Looks great. Now i want one.

 

It was worth the wait. Nice work!

 

A co-worker gave me a Technics receiver and CD player. I cleaned up the receiver (inside and out) and tried it out.

Another keeper!

 

Touched up a bunch of straights on Balsa, then stropped.

Two of them will get a trip to the stones.

 

Yesterday I was looking for a console on Craig's list and saw a freebie TV stereo console. I called to see it / pick it up and set a time to do so. After discussing it with my younger son; we decided it would require WAY too much work, so called, apologized and cancelled on meeting (she was very understanding). Five minutes later she texted me, asking if I'd be willing to take it away for $40. Feeling a little guilty, I told her I could do so and went to pick it up.

Today (with forty dollars more in my pocket) I disposed of said TV stereo console in my dumpster. with my sons help. I was able to salvage the turntable (as a back up) prior to disposing.

Not sure how manly this was, but it kept us busy.

 

Completed building my R/C car. Tomorrow will be adding fuel and firing it up to tune the engine.

 

Yesterday built fire pit, built fire in it, cooked supper on fire with iron skillet and titanium pots
And
Fixed grandsons go cart (air up tires, clean carb out, charge up battery) so he could ride it.
It was a good day
Very good day
Edit
Almost forgot..
Had a wonderful 2 pass shave with my 1912 gem junior to start the day.
yes a very good day indeed

tp

 

A very manly day indeed.

 

Yesterday, I took 36 shots at my target and didn’t miss a single one (or even shoot any outside the 8-ring.)

 

That time of year


Dropping dead trees, these are all about 60-80 feet tall
Some fun
A few more to go before first snow
That is going to make for a great bonfire soon














Yeppers I had to Touchup the Chainsaw Blade too hehehehe

 

Stihl or Husqvarna?

 

I got a new power tool; the WORX HydroShot. It’s a handheld pressure washer. Of course it hasn’t the power of a full-sized one, but for a small home, it does the job. Now I just have to go out & get a toolbox to store it.

 

94 psi??? Does it double as a Water Pic??

 

That’s the lower setting; fine for watering or misting plants. The higher setting is 320 PSI, which scrubbed the dirt off my deck box, quite well.

 

..

 

Which also doubles for watering the plants at the neighbor's house across the street.

 

...in the next county, actually.
