What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

I knew I should have mentioned that my wife took the pic. My legs aren't nearly that nice

 

I've never needed to completely strip seasoning off, but I have had to repair two 8" vintage skillets (from my mother, and from Wife's grandmother IIRC, after my then teenage daughter put them through a dishwasher cycle. Oh my gosh, that took some work. Rust removal and starting all over with seasoning. They've restored nicely. My wife cooked some cornbread today for lunch, and it just slid right out of the skillet!

 

Nice job! My son recently made a wine cabinet for his girl friend, using pallet wood. Pulling the slats can be a chore. I love the different colors in your table.

 

Thank you!

 

I was going to comment on the shade of toenail polish but then decided to refrain, because you never know.

 

This is a safe space. We don't judge here.

Coloring book?

 

So was I

 

Yeah, I had him pegged for more of a "Bordeaux Lust" than whatever shade that is.

 

My Mother in law was at my house watching the kids once when I was out of town. She got hold of my grandmothers cornbread skillet, cooked eggs in it then put it in the dishwasher. I nearly fainted. I cooked cornbread in it and had to chisel it out it stuck so bad. The outside of the pan had a fairly crusty layer so I decided since I was going to have to do some work I would just start completely from scratch. I took the racks out of my oven and put a fire brick on its end on the bottom where it wasn't touching the element, put the pan on top of the brick and ran the self cleaning cycle. When everything cooled off the skillet was down to bare metal and smooth as glass. I rinsed it, dried it and applied about 5 layers of Crisbee. I made some cheesy jalapeño cornbread and it nearly jumped out of the skillet.

 

Oh man, I would cry.

Glad it worked out okay.

 

Went to the cigar store and was able to get a couple of boxes...

Only thing is, I think they're plywood not cedar. I'm gonna start taking them apart tomorrow.

 

I would have expected something morel like this

 

From a baby troll? Really?

 

Those look nothing like morels, these are morels:

 

Yeah, you're right

 

Not much ... restoring this shaving brush for my daughter in-law for Christmas. Used India ink to dye it. She likes blue and it will lighten when I buff and polish. The receiver for the knot was so miss shaped that I'm improvising a new one.

 

Just a friendly warning. Do not google "Mushroom toenails" if you are eating.

 

That's more like it

 

Yesterday I tore up some paper bad guys with my Ruger 357 mag. Then started today with a great shave with my Fatboy set to 9 with an Astra SP on its 3rd use. And now just woke up from a lazy Sunday nap still in my boots haha.

 

Nothing like a well seasoned cast iron skillet for cooking!
