Hey guys, I'm putting together a "Man Maintenance Calendar" on Google Calendar that I'd like to share publicly with everyone on the forum. So far I've added things like a weekly reminder to polish shoes, auto maintenance, sharpening your pocket knife, monthly house maintenance, etc. As I keep working on this I'll be adding links to posts from the AoM for reference.

Do you guys have any ideas as to other things that should be put into the calendar?
Does anyone know of a good way to share the links for Google Calendar so everyone can add it to their own account?

Clint...this is a great idea and one that I've been wanting to do myself. I've even considered things such as washing the car, changing the furnace filter, etc.

I believe there is a way to make your Google Calendar public, or grant access by email address.

I've made it public but I'm looking for some way to actually link it. I suppose one way to try and get this to come up would be to search public calendars in Google Calendars. Try searching for "Man Maintenance".

If you like, I'll add people via specific email addresses until we can get a public link or good way to actually share it across the board.

You should be able to post the url of the calendar here. Or export the calendar and post the file here and we can download it.

This is great even at the early stages. I can see many people using this for their benefit! Thanks great idea! I foresee this having great events and reminders in the future. Maybe you could add events to this as well.

I'm all for adding stuff to this calendar. Does anyone have any additional ideas so I can add more?
