Back home now but going back to MC after Turkey Day. Maybe I'll bring the other camera next time.

Listening to an AM Oldies station, AM740, out of Toronto. Better than the Oldies stations on this side of fifty four forty.

So cool! Does it receive SW as well?

BTW, we never actually let you guys claim the fifty four forty. It stands firmly at forty nine.

Not too well on the SW. Yet. The tuner and switches need a good cleaning.

Quite right. All I remember from grade school history, though, is "Fifty Four Forty or Fight", and I don't know why I remember it. :?

I spotted this Ford pickup in Quito Ecuador today

**cheesy** · 12-05-2012, 12:18 PM

The pickup looks like it started life as 1952 F1. Some one did a heck of a nice job.

The results of a raised crane boom while on a lowboy trailer and a low bridge.

That piston rod is 3.5" in diameter.

I never saw the bridge.

This was the most obvious damage. I replaced all the counterweight supports and fasteners because it hit hard enough to shift the 10,500kg counterweight 50mm. 8O

I find it interesting that you use metric

katoranger · 12-06-2012, 01:17 PM

Actually he used both. 3.5" cylinder. Feels like an American car from the early eighties. Combination of SAE and metric bolts on everything.

FastDoc · 12-06-2012, 01:34 PM

As long as it's not Whitworth. I hated Whitworth. :roll:

I work for a European company in the US. 99% of our product is metric, so I have better than average grasp, for the US anyway, of the metric system. The 1% of our product that uses Americanese measurements come out of our factory in Canada.

Weldangrind · 12-06-2012, 10:47 PM

We're messed up like that.

How tall are you? 6'
How much milk did you buy? 2 litres.
How is your house framed? 2x4 lumber on 16" centers.
How fast are you driving? 100km/h

And beer is available in 340ml bottles, 355ml cans or by the pint glass at the pub. It's like we speak two languages.
