And that's as exciting as it gets for me:
My Friday night looks like this

Looks like a good night to me
Not bad. SMWBO's Bday here, so I probably won't be joining you in a honing adventure.
You know...there are much worse ways to spend a Friday night!
Number 5,298 on the list of things that SOUND dirty but aren't:
We are DEEPLY twisted around here, you know that?

That's gonna be me tomorrow morning!! My wife works early on saturdays & I have the day off, so I get most of my honing done on Saturday mornings....Looks like fun!!
Looks to be a perfect Friday, or any other day, night to me!
Is that a Chosera in the holder?
Looks fun. A bit jealous if I'm being honest.
I might also be enjoying that activity this evening, mine however might have to involve some scotch. That's a wonderful way to spend a Friday night!
God I wish I was having the same Friday night. Me and SWMBO just got our new furniture delivered and it's been a nightmare arranging it and finding places for things. I just want to hone and make scales, my wood came. I'm jealous!!
Great minds think alike, my friend: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/248749-You-know-your-social-life-is-in-the-toilet-when
I was doing a little honing earlier 
I do have a social life, I only let it out once in a while.

Friday nights spent honing means Saturday morning is going to get off to the best start possible.
Looks fun to me.
Your Friday nights rock!!!! Waka waka waka..

It was a terrific evening that bled over into Saturday afternoon and the Sunday evening. I left the rocks and plates and other honing accoutrements in the living room and over the course of the weekend managed to successfully hone 4 out of 6 blades. One of the two that remained unhoned come to me in a lot of French razors and has very nice horn scales. The blade, however, unstamped with any maker's mark, turned out to be lousy steel incapable of taking a shave. The other one is quite good steel, but a full wedge that forced me to submit before I could force it. I'll be revisiting it soon enough.
One of the highlights is that I finally put a decent edge on a frameback. For some reason they'd been confounding me, but I finally broke through the wall with one. Don't know why or even if I'll ever replicate the success.

Framebacks are difficult. I have a magnificent Leresche waiting to be used, but when I try honing it, it has such a large smile, I don't even know how to approach it.
So so far, of the 1/2 dozen framebacks I have, I only managed to shave with a LeGrelot (that came shave-ready).
All you are missing is a nice bottle of scotch!
