CRISPINS CRITTERS

Okay,

Since the metric conversion and general math jokes seem to be spewing forth-

I'll add the following list.
Here is the official unit conversion chart for engineers...


1. Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter = Eskimo Pi
2. 2,000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton
3. 1 millionth of a mouthwash = 1 microscope
4. Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement = 1 bananosecond
5. Weight one evangelist carries with God = 1 billigram
6. Time it takes to sail 220 yards at 1 nautical mile per hour = Knotfurlong
7. 16.5 feet in the Twilight Zone = 1 Rod Serling
8. Half of a large intestine = 1 semicolon
9. 1,000,000 aches = 1 megahurtz
10. Basic unit of laryngitis = 1 hoarsepower
11. Shortest distance between two jokes = A straight line
12. 453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake
 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Minelab PRO-FIND 35 Waterproof Pinpointer Metal Detector for Experts with Tone ID & Adjustable Sensitivity - Grab it through Amazon!
Just wanted to snap a quick pic of the aforementioned truck.

Notice the rust that is causing me to hunt down these ancient elusive rust-free parts from the local junkyards.

So far I have 1 fender and I am going to pick up the other fender and bed on Friday. All matching WHITE as a huge bonus!

The FIRST thing I purchased after buying the truck was a big can of Aero Kroil!

Life saver on this rusty old truck for sure...

Kroil Oil Rules in maintenance of almost everything. Seeps into 1 millionth of an inch crevices. Or .000254 mm

Once you get used to metric you will never want to do without. It makes it so easy to convert from weight, to volume, to distance. Try converting pounds, to miles, to ounces....what moron allowed that system to come into use? I'll take grams, to meters, to liters any day of the week.

Ah!
The merits of Metrics.
I thought no one would ever mention...


Which leads to a story from Uncle Scott....


My Bestest Friend in Lawrence, Kansas, whom I've known for nearly a quarter of a century,
once asked me to help him one day to build a staircase in a 1.5 mil new construction.....

I first met my Friend, Ken, when my second wife and I bought 5 acres in Jefferson County, Kansas,
Back about, what? 1985?
Was a 3 bedroom "earth contact" home. Passive solar, out buildings blah, blah, blah....

It was my decision to buy.....

Crap! That leads to more stories....

"Stay focused, unka Scott!"

OK, back to Ken.

He introduced me to the finer points of metrics.

Whenever I have to use measurements now, I can add metrics to my repertoire.

Ken is now a master woodworking craftsman.
I introduced Ken to woodworking by giving a positive response to a potential employer as a reference.....

The Reuter Organ Company — Home


The History of Reuters, from a local perspective is that there are openings every 20+ years.
The folks who work there have been there for years.

They seldom retire; they usually die....
A Dynasty....
A legacy....
It's a very tight market with a tight pool to choose from.

At the time, I had my pulse on "goings on" in the city....
Reuters is known worldwide...

Ken got the job.



So,

I show up to help Ken and,
as the day progressed, the conversation drifts, as is wont; l looked beyond the prejudices, stereotypes
and the "humor" and asked,
"What makes this funny?"

Thus is the spark of psychology.....
(the kindling comes later.....)

Ken,

Well, hopefully I'll see my Friend,
once again.....



Best,

Scott



PS.
This is more like Ken.....



And that kid has no clue about computers.
He's 10 years younger than me, and doesn't know about the interwebs?

We talk every now and again via phones, and I ask him the same question,
"Your butt online yet?​

Folks,

Since I was on a kick of playing songs by the ladies last night figure I might as well continue where I left off.

Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen.

 

Bill, once again you outdo yourself......How about a selection from Vt's own Grace Potter and the Nocturnals?.......Gary
 

I don't mind being the first one to turn in. Nite all.

Wanna know why headphones were invented?

Yeah- been chillin out in the old days for a while. Youtube is great- it's a path that leads from one great song to the next...

Roberta Flack
Daryl Hall
Smokey Robinson
Billy Ocean

Man- what a walk down memory lane...

So true it's like a music lover's candy store.

Are you mad, man?
Are you trying to arouse the passions of Jeff beyond restraints?

Egad, man! Let's not lose our perspective!

For our Friend Jeff....



Always,
