Hey Kent,
You never know when you're going to learn something! The online conversion
web site is real nice. I am forever having to look up conversions for
something. I taught Physics for years and I remember all the metric to
English length measurements (most of the time) but many of the other types
of measurements I just don't.
The next time I have to mix fertilizer in my hose end sprayer or sugar for
the hummingbird feeder, I'll think of you and I won't have to ask my wife
(retired homemaking teacher) how many tablespoons are in a cup!
The hummingbird feeder hangs next to my tower and the grass grows under it
if you were wondering how this post connects to Towertalk. :-)
Bill, W5VX
