I can drive my Ford Ranger with either hand Ron. I really don't see the problem.

Did you know that -40 Celsius is the exact same temperature as -40 Fahrenheit?
That fascinating. I looked it up and was surprised to find it applies in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

I would have thought it would be;

-40 Celsius = -40 Fahrenheit in the Northern
-40 Fahrenheit = - 40 Celsius in the Southern.

Go figure.

Maybe. Maybe not nchawkeye. The Speers say .429 on the box, but measure .428. Does anyone have some XTPs they can measure?

Semi, I think you subtract celsius from fahrenheit to get ambient temperature.

I've followed along as best I could, but I'm still lost. I know what a henway is, but how tall is a farenheit?

Well that's just nuts HD. Any process involving math has got to be flawed. Mathematics is the devil's way of confusing our thoughts.

It depends on which one you're talking about UncleNorby. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was a small man - 5' 6" I believe. His sister Virginia was taller at 5' 9".

Believe it or not, I don't own a caliper...I have plenty of the .429 XTPs and they are just right with the Harvesters in my Knight Disc...Maybe you should unload those Harvesters on me......

Wow.

Did you know that -40 Celsius is the exact same temperature as -40 Fahrenheit? Did you know that 0 degree Celsius is the same exact temperature as 32 degree Fahrenheit? Is 100 degree Celsius the same temperature as 212 degree Fahrenheit?
Wow. You must be one tough SOB. I normally use a hammer to do this!
I remember something about this in science class a long time ago. But that cute blonde sitting next to me normally had most of my attention.
