I had beena couple of years working the high country when I left and was in my joinery/furniture making apprenticeship for about 6 months when we changed all measurements over to metric in the late 60's. Mother asked how it would effect me so I told her I had to buy all new tools - saws were all sharpened at points per inch and had to be changed for points per centimeter, 6 inch square for a 150mm one etc etc and my father was trying to keep a straight face as I went through the list of tool I needed to change untill it got so obvious that she caught on. Was a fun 1/2 hr though

There’s a drilling rig one like that that goes- “When I die I want morning tour to lower me in the ground… So they can let me down one last time!” (Morning tour is the night crew)

Hard to believe FIFTY years have gone by since that song hit the charts.

Yes indeed, along with the rope pusher, the portable hole and the bucket of steam!

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
