Thank a British Pirate in 1793 for where we are with metric today.

He is in Belgium. Might try shooting him a message?

northernsurveyor, whom I haven't seen around here in a while, had a battle going with it. Several old threads on the subject like this one I reca...

I only do those kind of temps in the sauna when I can roll nekked in the snow afterwards.  

My first survey job was in Saudi Arabia as a teen with an outfit called Gulf Surveys back in 1981. We would go out for a couple weeks at a time and li...

I was previously using an R8-3 configured as a base with an R12i for a rover and it was a great set up. Personally I found using just the R12 with a V...

I'm on day three of hurricane force winds. Roofs ripped off, trees down everywhere, power mostly out for most of the weekend with temps hanging betwee...

I learned a long time ago, it never pays to be the hero.
