Is very kind of you Dave to send me a photograph of your pond during the winter. Also very kind of you to let the skaters use it during the winter. However, the ice skaters here have to use the rink in the mall, but they do get to use it all year round. How's that for balance?

The wonderful world of measurement.
I'm fortunate that I lived in an imperial world to the age of 17 when I started an engineering apprenticeship, where upon I had to be equally conversant with both systems all the way through my working life (43 yrs) and I still work in both systems at 72

Lew,
Since you sounded like you miss seeing frozen ponds...
I stopped by our club pond today, and took a picture for you.

PS We let ice skaters use our pond in the "off season"

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

It's been about 60 years since I've seen a frozen pond live.
We had our model boat meet today. The temperature was 75οΎF (I'm in the US). I'll let you "up to date people" convert that to C.

Thanks for the comment on my car. It runs just as nice as it looks.
At work we have many pieces of equipment some with standard fittings and some with metric fittings. We even have one that has been modified over the years and now has "shmetric" fittings,π. LEN1

Len1,
I too have a need for 2 sets of tools. Heck, sometimes I will run into fractional and metric on the same rig (John Deere is good for that).

PS The car in your profile pic is gorgeous! You certainly must be proud of that stunner.

Trev,
We are back up to +21F (37 degrees warmer than 4 days ago)!!
It's a virtual heat wave. π
Another 30 degrees or so, and it'll be warm enough to work on boats π€ in my shed ....

-4 degrees F this morning.
-47F on top of Mt. Washington. -108 F with the Wind Chill
Most likely the lowest windchill temp ever recorded in the US.

I've become "ambidextrous"πin working with both systems here in the states. Working on new and old cars I need 2 sets of tools, one in each system. I constantly need to convert measurements because the plans I use can be in either system. You sort of get used to it. As a mental conversion I think of 1mm as just over 1/32", 3mm as close to 1/8", 6mm as 1/4".etc. Just the way my wacky brain works. LEN1
