My classes start today. I successfully logged on to my two online classes and familiarized myself with the format. Looks like a ton of work but also looks like a ton of useful, real world skillsets. Financial Accounting and Computer Accounting Applications. Basically an Excel and Access course. Then I got one physical campus class that starts tomorrow from 6-9:10. The dreaded Public Speaking class. Called Oral Communications 'round these parts. I want to communicate with some of yours guys parts orally.

I’m seasoning all my cast iron cookware today. I scrubbed them down and then dried them off. Now I’m rubbing them down with oil and putting them in the oven to cure.

12” skillet
10” skillet
Double burner griddle
Comal (for tortillas)

I’m gonna let them go for an hour and let them cool to the touch. Then I going to oil them down again and do it one more time.

Thinking about sanding my huge ass cutting board and hitting it with some food grade mineral oil. Just to keep everything in tip top shape.

I might as well sharpen all my kitchen knives while I’m at it.
if you scrub them out with salt in between washing them and oiling them, it'll suck a lot of the moisture out of the pan. the salt will turn grey, then you can dump it and add some more, till it stays white for a while. it'll cut down the time you need to put the pan in the oven

I like a nice seasoned looking board....
Heck, we bought our pizza stone secondhand from someone who couldn't stand the fact that they stain as you use them.

The dreaded Public Speaking class.
Since @neosapien mentioned public speaking. . .

I attended the CG Chief's Academy in Alameda in the late 90's - tons of brass strolling around that place during graduation & I was voted to be the M.C. for the graduation dinner.
Commandant, Vice Commandant, Master Chief of the CG and many more in attendance.

I did good & managed to illicit quite a few laughs with impromptu jokes but believe you me it was VERY intimidating (and like 3 hours long).

our class down here was a mix bag, Speech class was mixed with debate. Our final was we had to do basically a speech, and then we had to debate another class member for our final grade.......i think the "listen here you SOB" kinda killed it for me though...still passed though

Picked up some everclear to do an alcohol QWET extraction on some decarbed buds, seems that Calif. has decided we are not allowed to buy 190 proof at the store anymore, it is 120 proof. I guess I'll just press on and see if it works, I'm not ready to spend $50 on a quart of food grade ethanol.

Thanks for the well wishes all.

The thing about the public speaking class is… it's the same professor that failed me all them 16 years ago and basically halted my college plans. He made you go see 2 plays. For public speaking. At the time I was doing the pools and helping my friend at his new pizza shop plus paying to go to school full time in the evening. I couldn't or didn't want to afford to take off a Friday or Saturday to go see a fucking play. And tried to communicate this to him and find alternatives. But all his pompous ass said was "in 30 years of teaching you are the first student who has a problem with my course". And he was unwilling to do anything other than fail me. Which he did. So I've come to find that the plays are now just extra credit and not mandatory. So obviously I wasn't the only one to complain about the unorthodox course demands. He apparently only teaches this 1 night class now also. So unsure of if he's just older and lightening the load or if he's being decommissioned, or whatever they call it in the academic world. I still might go see 1 or 2 plays just to spite him. But really, it's public speaking, how da fuck are plays going to help.

On the other hand, I'd think I would up and move to Redneckistan if it meant having @cannabineer as my professor.

I found some at Port Hueneme Naval Exchange. Those SeaBees have everything, best BX's ever. Although MiraMar, though it didn't have much, what it had was choice. Got this years Asic Gel Kayanos (my running shoes) there.

Cannabis may not be allowed on a Federal reservation but they have the finest alcohol money can buy :mrgreen:

ever hear of a 1 man play, pretty much that's all your doing Neo is speaking. In some play sometimes the main character or a side character has to set the settings. Fiddler on the roof is a good example, Dr. Shivago is another.......i'm sure there is plenty more out there.......just go kill it, you can do it mate.......

I bought some 151 proof (75.5%) Everclear from Bev-Mo in San Luis Obispo. If you are near the Calif-Nev border you can get the higher % EC in Nev
