There were overhead cranes to move them around in and railroad cars. Electromagnets were used to pick them up and move them. On occasion something would go wrong and a plate would drop. It literally sounded like a bomb going off.Very interesting. I know what Troy weight is, but I don’t know the other word.
(just looked it up - sorry @likes2watchU )
noun
a system of weights based on a pound of 16 ounces or 7,000 grains, widely used in English-speaking countries.
"avoirdupois weights"
Those steel plates must’ve weighed 10 to 15,000 pounds each.
I nominate wat again.Morning everyone. Heading out for 12 today. 16 degrees and all warmed up and stretched. @Wat_Tyler got the dishes last time, someone else's turn.... Be good, not only to each other but yourselves as well.
Ha! I have an inert 30mm round from a Gatling gun round that has that sticker on it! Don’t worry the grenade is hollowed out and inert too.I just threw those dishes into the dumpster and ordered more.
Flatware, too.
Washing dishes is servile abuse.
I take offence at "Fuckin engineers". That is what all the guys at work used to call me!Fuckin engineers…
I work with actuaries for always figuring out deals to the thousandth of a cent.

Love that!I possess something I call cop-dar. I almost always know when there's a cop in my vicinity. IDK how, but I do. Yesterday, when I was driving to my dr appointment, I was driving in the HOV lane with my pass. (Here, one can pay a bit to drive in the HOV lanes on some of the freeways.) I has been driving just a bit (or more) over the speed limit when I unconsciously backed off on my speed. I saw a vehicle far behind me in the same lane. As it got closer, I moved out of the lane so the vehicle could pass me. Sure enough, it was WSP!
Sounds like a fabulous day, B2!!I had a fantastic day yesterday. My granddaughter was so cute dancing and singing children’s songs. Then I went to lunch with my GF at a German restaurant where we had sides like red cabbage and potato salad, cheese and bread and a giant piece of 4 layer carrot cake.

It’s nothin personal. Just business!I take offence at "Fuckin engineers". That is what all the guys at work used to call me!
These fucking guys.My heating pad is in the armoire in my bedroom. I can't get to it right now as the construction guys are using my bedroom as a staging area.
I saw a Bob Hope show on Okinawa. One of his lines was about the Sea Bees building the roads that the Japanese retreated on.It’s nothin personal. Just business!
A good engineer is worth their avoirdupois in steel.
And even better ones clear minefields, dig nice cozy holes for your tank to get into a turret down position, bring in hescoes to give you cover. Ooops. Different kinda engineer!
We got your back too, bud.I’m up way too early as got a call from my son at 2 am. It was about his mom, my X, who had a dementia episode. She called him wanting him to get her and take her home. She is in an assisted living facility. As he has autism, he was having difficulty handling this. And he called his reliable old dad.
I called him down. But I could not get back to sleep. I know I have to live a long life as my adult kids especially my son needs me. It’s a challenge but I accept it.
Sending to whoever needs it and knowing we have each other’s back here no matter what challenges you are facing.
I sense that cats know a lot more than we do!We were gods before and, by golly, we'll be gods again!
That should take an hour or two. What are you going to do the rest of the day!Morning all! One cuppa down and all caught up on this thread for a few seconds.
Making a mental list of what to do today. Works been super busy the last few weeks so can’t get anything done outside after work.
I have to deliver some firewood today. Got some work done at the farmyard done, so I have to clean up there. Fill a few bins of firewood at the farm stand and get a Christmas tree and finish raking leaves.
Gotta see my mom in there somewhere too.
This might get expensive!

I bet a bunch of us could come out there and knock this fuckin job right out. This has been going on for way too long.
Sorry - I am impatient.
For you.
