Lots of old stuff. Not much need for a 13/16-25/32 combo wrench 😂. Why do you need a 26/32 and a 25/32 nut? Glad we consolidated that 1/32 difference ditched the 25/32
Of course we turn around and do the same thing with metric. 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm.
19.5mm. At that point either cut it off or put a crescent wrench on it!
Before metric wrenches were sold on mass in the states. (expensive before) Some people needed wrenches to fit metric bolts. Think of all the german stuff brought back from the war. VW's Porsha's V2 rockets ect. They were metric. 9/32 is 7mm 25/64 is 18mm 13/16 will fit a 21mm 1/2" will fit 13mm on and on. I have both sets of tools and use them with metric and standard. The switch to all metric in most manufacturing was around 1994. That's when cheaper metric wrenches hit the market on mass.

Hell, if you don't want them. I'll take them. I collect old tools.

It’s a pretty somber evening over this way. Dutch’s back end has failed him and he’s unable to walk without my assistance. Ivan is laying next to him whimpering, he knows something is definitely wrong. I fear I’m going to have to call my friend and ask her to come over And put Dutch down. I can’t stop crying just thinking about it.

The first lady is throwing off some serious eastern european blood feud vibes since day 1.
Between her and Baron I had some pretty high expectations regards TCB.

I gotta say that DJT is walking his talk like a champ whether anyone likes it or not.

I’m not holding my breath , a lot of this is window dressing , optics , and plays well with the crowd

when there is an investigation , prosecution , and sentencing for the crimes that are on Epstein's flight list and all the photographs , tapes , and paperwork that were found in his New York apartment safe with hard evidence , I will then start to believe in this new Golden Age that we are supposed to be entering

but that is not enough

true justice will only be served when the Anthony Weiner Insurance File is made public and arrests are made

all we are seeing right now are the chairs being rearranged

the heavy lifting hasn’t even started

Sorry to hear that,they are like family, I wish you both the best.I had a shepherd once and when I woke up he was laying on the floor and couldn't get his back end up off of the floor,he was paralyzed but his front legs were fine. I picked him up and took him to the vet and the vet gave him an injection and 5 minutes later he was walking around. I couldn't believe it, I never had to do it again,he was about 9 at the time and lasted a couple more years before he passed and was happy during the remaining years. The vet said his spinal cord had swelled so the messages were not getting though to his legs.

That makes a lot of sense. I know the common ones 7/16,1/2,9/16 etc for the metric counterparts. I should have considered the metric thing, definitely a lot of metric stuff was swapping around after the war.

Here! Here! :confused:
And they can start front and center with Social Security, since most of us are of age. Ronnie Boy did not do us any favors, followed by Billy Boy, in starting the process of double taxing our income that we are receiving back, interest free from them, for some of us, near 60 years. I think I was a news-paperboy when I was ten +, was supposed to be eleven but because of the way my birthday aligned they let it slide. I recalled that they took out the few pennies that were due then, and ever since that time have been holding my money since they were going to supposedly return to me in full. Yeah, right. We fought a revolution about double taxation, and the new guys come in and pull the same crap as the old..
You are spot on. I am one of the tiny minority that beat the system. My last day age a wage slave was in 1991.

Oh, God... I am so sorry, brother. We both knew it was coming, but that does not make it hurt less.

My heart goes out to you. Call me if you want to talk. Dutch was a perfect soldier.

He will be remembered by a whole community across the whole world -- a good thing.

Yet another double gorgeous day starting at 31F and predicted to reach 48F.

No A-fib yesterday and today was the last day of DULoxetine at 20mg. Tomorrow I'm down to 10 mg.

My new Garmin watch is due today that provides an A-fib readout.

Nothing on the calendar, so looking at indoor sports and wanton debauchery at home today, so as to stay out of trouble.

I’m so sorry boo. I am crying for you as I know the hurt. I know you are right by his side and it will be a hard day for you and Ivan. My thoughts and prayers are with you brother 🙁🥰
