I should have gone flying yesterday when I had the chance. I woke up today & -- ARGGHHH, BIG SNOW.  A bunch already down & 35 cm expected. Plus more later in the week. This has put the flying season back by a couple of weeks at least.  |

;D I just had a look back at this one --- Eric, I said 35 cm (a bit over a foot), not 35 meters of snow. You guys are easy to impress.  |

Metric would be an excellent thing if everybody used it, and if it hadn't changed when I was in grade four (?) it makes math converions very easy. All the bolts on our robots and most electronics at work are in metric, while the rest is imperial. not bad if you know what your doing, but you do get some  trying to use metric allen keys in imperial bolts, then wonder why they strip the bolt head or round off the allen key. (no Britbrat, that isn't me ;D ) |
