Both going in and coming out.

Waffle House over IHOP any day. My standard is "Cheese and Eggs", 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, buttered toast, grits with butter, hashbrowns and bacon. And coffee, black, of course.

Now I'm hungry.

Where in SC are you? Myrtle Beach has pancake houses on EVERY FREAKING BLOCK!

(Which I imagine you already knew... this was for everyone else's benefit)

Upstate, about as far from Myrtle Beach as you can get and still be in SC!

But I was near you Saturday, in Spencer at the NC Transportation Museum.

I remember the first time I was in Myrtle Beach back around 1995. I had no clue it was such a huge tourist trap.

Don't worry. He got it wrong anyway.

8mm = .315 (0.314961)
3/8 =.375
1/2 =.500

10 to 12 mm would have fallen between your numbers.

All measurements no matter if they are Metric or American are strictly numbers and once you get past their names using them becomes second nature. I had to convert metric blueprints to english dimensions so my machine operators would be able to measure the parts properly for years since all of our measuring equipment was scaled in English measurements.

1 mm = .03937

So there I was in Myrtle Beach with a tape measure and an 8mm wrench............

Well, 8mm is about the distance you have to travel in Myrtle Beach to find a pancake house...

So it's worse then Starbucks ?

Well..depends.

I like pancakes, sausage, and coffee better than tofu muffins, lame sandals and pumpkin spiced latte.

Pancakes are better then Dollar Stores every block. I thought Shoney;s was a big in "the south". Never had it.

Shoney's went out of business 10 years or so ago, I believe. Was the only place with a breakfast buffet.

What is this American and British measurements you speak of? I understand they both use Imperial.

Lol, I hung myself with my own smugness. So let's try for Metric and Imperial units of measurement.

Both are correct answers, if one has a flexible notion of what an Empire is.



I actually dug up a decimal chart to help with some of the measurements I needed when building the Nieuport, as my poor brain can do fractions or decimals, but not both at the same time. So I'd do "straight math" and then consult the table for the fractions.

Thankfully, most of the build used the TLAR method of measurement and fit.

I just refer to the conversion process as "decimation"... with the corresponding 1 in 10 chance of getting the correct results.

I like giving my aircraft information in “furlongs per fortenight”.

How many stone is your a/c?

They never ask for weight, but empty weight would be 105 Stone and Gross Ramp would be 182 Stone and a couple pebbles.

A transmission to the tower as I approach to the landing pattern would sound like this -

Leesburg tower this is Cardinal 12345 approximately 1,500 rods southwest at 250 fathoms inbound full stop landing. Speed 40,000 furlongs per fortnight. With information Delta.
