Ok not really, let's just say when russia invaded afghanistan the little blackish green oval plates that weighed 28.6 grams originally made from weed stopped arriving. And back them mostly anything from the acapulco area that was gold in color and named the same and some of the best around was usually sold in kilos unless you knew someone who would break it down into lbs. This was a very long time ago, late 70's, I'm completely innocent now, well less stupid anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll buy some stock in Kitchenaid as I see a few being mixed to death! How about a small cement mixer to mix in bulk? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the kitchenaid and will be fixing it up, just a tad better than stock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Islander said: It's dead easy: 1:1.6. To be more precise, it's 1.61, or 1.609, depending on how exact you feel at the time. 100 mph equals 161 km/hr (kph is not used). At more typical speeds, 50 mph = 80 km/hr, 55 mph = 90 km/hr, 30 mph = 50 km/hr. Two of those are off by 1 mph or so, but are close enough for normal use. With the higher speeds some vehicles go these days, 240 km/hr = 149 mph, and 320 km/hr = 200 mph. Going 210 (130) in a 60 (35) zone is a bad idea, especially when you get caught by the same cop who caught you speeding a few months before. This 22-year-old's Ferrari was impounded for 60 days and he got a 16-month driving suspension. He really needs to find a better place to speed. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/penalties-expanded-for-ferrari-driver-clocked-at-210-km-h-on-bridge-1.3488362 Cops are really cracking down these days. Now, going faster than the speed limit by more than 49 km/hr (in Ontario) or 60 km/hr (in British Columbia) means more than just a speeding ticket. It gets your vehicle impounded for a week, and this may leave you beside the highway trying to find another way home. Last year, the police set up on Malahat Drive, a mountain pass north of Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island. They pulled over more than a dozen cars, trucks, and motorcycles, all doing more than 60 km/hr (35 mph) over the 90 km/hr (55 mph) speed limit, and had every one towed away to the police impound lot. The Golden Age of Speeding in Canada has been over for a long time. Very interesting The metric used to affect speeding in that country state of mind. Thanks and yes, guess they better sort it out. I may be of much use there as I would have a good incentive to learn metric. Fascinating ..Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 In England in the Sixties, the rockers liked to "do the ton" on their Triumphs, Nortons, and BSAs. That meant going 100 mph, which was pretty fast for those old bikes, along with the twisty roads, since the Motorways were just starting to be built. Nowadays, someone could refer to doing the metric "double ton", meaning 200 km/hr, but modern sport bikes go that fast in 3rd or 4th gear, so it's no big deal anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone with real river rock, tons of rivers around here too. Evaluating the wall, the wall already exists, covering it without making it look two foot thick sounded like a better way to go. Guy up the street from me did some river rock work on his home front, he used real RR and it looks like chit. Rocks were too big, grout lines run between 1/2" and 3" and then they sealed them with gloss. Oh yeah, it's two foot thick in most places........ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
