Mine started off kind of not so manly - coloured my wife's hair as my alter ego Sergio, complete with faux Italian heavily listhpy accent.  I did offer to wear my Meatloaf shirt, but 9D thougth that was a bit over the top.  I then proceded to my martial arts class, where I regained some ego gratification thorugh violence.  Upon my return, I cooked dead animal with fire to go with some recently killed plants for supper.  Ugh Ugh.

Yesterday: Jumped out of airplane, landed. My conversation with the JM was cut short when three of the best looking women I've ever seen walk right in front of us and start posing for cameras and video cameras... wearing nothing but very tiny underwear and parachutes.

Today: Jumped out of airplane, landed. The JM had a helmet camera on so after the jump we watched my exit... but in order for the tape to be cued to my jump we had to watch the video of yesterdays lingere freefall from 10 000 feet (must've been mighty nippy up there dressed like that).

It's OK if they are in a fabric you wouldn't be embarrassed to wear as a kilt.    ;D


Does denim count?  ;D

Nothing today, but it's early. Now yesterday I mixed and poured cement around my house and then grilled a steak on the BBQ I assembled myself on the patio I laid while drinking a beer.


Ok the wife helped with the cement bit.  :-[

Spent the day burning metal with a torch, beating it with a 5lb sledge, grinding it with a 10" angle grinder, and sticking it all back together with 1/16" flux cored wire, all run off the back of a 400 amp diesel driven welder. Days like today, I love my job! Excavator repair definitely belongs in the manly thread.

This past weekend I cooked meat with Fire,  Consumed an Entire Bottle of Spiced Rum, and Continued to grow a beard so Manly it would make Chuck Norris and the Dos Equis Guy Jealous....

And no hangover for me...... I was so disgusted by the mere concept of it, that I slapped it clean out of my system with a 2x4.....

Ugh Grunt.... Ugh....

Still cant believe I pounded back a 26'er in 3 hours........  I haven't done something like that since Decomp in Cyprus....  ;D

When I finally hung up my green suit on 1 November 1994, I took on the grocery shopping tasks as well as prearing all the evening meals. It freed up my frau from something that had occupied a lot of her time over the years. We both have enjoyed time doing our own stuff and still have lots of time together.
