Should be affordable, it is a scale for a machinist, I have a few in my toolbox too.

Metric was the worst idea ever. Ask me, I'm a surveyor. Still have to deal with NCDOT plans in metric, and other problems created by the government.

Engineering pocket tapes are hard to find. Spent $25 @ survey supply store because box stores don't carry.

It's funny, I can get along with an architect even though they're stuck on inches. I can convert in my head. Metric requires a calculator. Globalization is for the birds.

Sucks we can't get a cheap tape.

You only need a calculator or have to convert because you haven't given up the dumbass Imperial system, to accept the much more logical and math-friendly metric system that literally the whole world, including your own government, uses.

I bet you'd also prefer to charge your phone using the old large USB B plugs, too.And carry around tapes to listen to music.:flipoff2:

When I pass on, I am going to have the funeral director toss the flower bouquet from the top of my casket into the crowd to see who's next.

Who the hell would get in line to catch it?

Of course, I always wonder the same thing about wedding bouquets.
When my wife's brother got married and his bride did teh toss, literally everyone jumped out of the way and it fell into a big void.
 
“In the past, if a 21-year-old said they had ‘trauma’, or were on the receiving end of ‘violence’, it usually meant they’d seen their mates get blown up in the trenches, or had been shot. Now it just means they saw a tweet.” – Charlotte Gill
 
So ive decided to refer to the stretch of I-26 from Asheville to hendersonville as the long way home.

Can we please get back to winter? I want my 30° weather back!
 
Seeing the news this afternoon that Kuechly retired, although not suprising, makes me want to punch Tom Brady in the head even more.

The two are not connected in any way, just my natural reaction......
 
Anybody know why traffic was so good today? No one darting straight to the left lane on the interstate, no one cut around people on the right in merging lanes, no one riding my ass even though there's a line of 20 cars in front of me, no one speeding up and slowing down 20mph while the rest of traffic flows smoothly, no one speeding up just to block people from getting over, etc. What gives?

I guess all the crazy people are off for the holiday....
 
I was thinking the same thing. It was a nice drive in today.

Crazy people don't like to be cold.
 
Not my quote but very relevant.
When you buy something, you put money in people’s pockets and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self-worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value. Socialism is having the government take your money against your will and give it to someone else for doing nothing.
 
As much as I've hated getting shuffled around to various positions here at work, I think this one might be the ticket. Out in the field more than in the office, longer hours but working by myself more, and some neat toys to play with.
 
The "Chopped" show had swine uterus and Nutria on the menu a while back. I wonder how long it will be before they give the chefs roadkill to cook?
