Re: FIRST Class?

We have a class. During the season it helps to cut down on some of the after school hours and keeps me from getting the thousand yard stare when I'm in the workshop. I get that sometimes during our late nighters. That's when I lose touch with reality and start seeing visions of my fluffy bed at home far off in the distance. Of course, the majority of our work is still done after school and on weekends because there is just so much to do, but having a class sure helps.

In the off season, we just try to learn new things together and pass on what we already know to the newbs. There is no rigid curriculum. We decide what we want to learn together, and grades are given for effort like in PE. We are pretty happy to have it. It certainly allows us to do more and learn more than we could without it, and it saves some of our sanity during the silly season.
