Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

In elementary school I had a fantastic math teacher who made me love numbers. I still remember him telling us that an inch was based on the width of a man's finger, then later the width of three grains of rice. And the temperature scale was based on an arbitrary decision that freezing was 32 and boiling point was 212 so you could use fewer fractions. Nothing is relatable to larger or smaller units without using fractions. Made my head hurt and seemed unnecessarily complicated.

Thank god for base 10.
I remember in about 3rd or 4th grade learning metric and the teacher telling us we needed to learn it because the US was going to be switching to it very soon...I wish she was right, and we should have ...It is much simpler!!

She screamed lol and to her disgust.....I picked it up and threw it at her brother that refused to put on clothes today.....he screamed and ended up accidentally catching it against his bare chest....it's a wet toilet paper cardboard rolled up. :lol:

I completely forgot about April fools.

Water has been off since 10:30 this morning and no eta for repair. You don't realize how often you use water until it's not there.

Math was always my favorite subject, so maybe that's why I like metric...even though I don't know it well...Good article !!

Hope you get water on soon!! Yeah we should all keep a 5 g bucket on hand but who does...this is when the RO system comes handy I guess!

Almost noon....time for me to hit the shower...I have been such a bum all winter! Then a little more de-stemming and done, except for zeroing in moisture contents. I need to plan Easter dinner too...traditional, or on the grill?!

That would suck! Did you stay at a hotel? I have two flushes left then I have to go to starbucks lol. There's a couple trucks here so hopefully it won't be that long.
No, I wouldn't have heat if no one was here to keep the fire going and the house would have frozen up. Kids played and I melted snow......lots of snow. LOL I was in my element :blsmoke: Nov 28, 2018

I was using the turkey fryer to melt snow so we could flush the toilet, wash dishes and ourselves. I toped out at about 5 gph....it was pretty light and airy snow.
