I’ve used power tools, played football (tackle) with my son, changed my wife’s oil, grilled my own meat, and had whiskey today.

We’re here but we’re busy. I’m willing to answer your questions.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I can do almost all of those... There are still men out there and they don't always advertise their presence but I assure you, you are surrounded by them.

It sucks because I’m overweight. So I look weird with tight jeans and with my gut I can’t wear tight shirts

I’m also bald so I can’t style my hair


Walt, you truly are one of my favorite people.

Well today I dug out a 20 year old basketball goal, sledgehammered the concrete from the old pole, re-dug the hole, mixed 450# of concrete, filled the hole and set the new first pole and leveled it. Then I assembled the backboard to the remaining poles and will wait a few days for the concrete to set before I finish the project.

I'm 40 and white and can't shoot hoops for shite but my nephews will sure love it.

Yeah

My time is too valuable. $150 to a pair of skilled Mexicans gets that job done

I could have easily paid to have it done. That wasn't the point for me in this instance.

No. They have a portable goal at their house that their parents paid someone to put together. I'm building this one because I enjoy being physical and manual.

The only two things in that list I haven't did was program a puter and die.

Guess that makes me a man. Then again, I'm old school at 61 when men did for themselves.

Probably about the best time, not how to water the lawn.

I go shopping with my wife. I notice other women; it'd be pretty gay not to notice them.
No pics though.

Unclogging a sink shouldn't be hard. It's not extra terrestrial technology.

I confess - I was drinking white wine for the past week, but I went back to beer tonight.
