+1 to Throatkick. Lots of good info in there, and he clearly took some time in writing that all out. Those are the kind of people you run into here at ECF, Meremist. You're in good company.
You're hialrious. lol
Yes, they're still being sold. Although, since I stopped buying them, the two places I used to buy from have stopped stocking them. I reckon I was the only customer buying them. But, I've seen them at a gasoline station as recently as a month ago. I have to admit here and now, when I spotted them I dang near inquired as to their price! But, I didn't. Yay me! I don't believe Nat Sherman still sells 200s though. Those were outrageously long, and I bought them several times way back in the early 1980s ... just for fun. They cost about double what premium cigarettes in the grocery store cost. Back then, I guess that would be arround $2.50 per pack (box actually).Do they still sell the More brand? 120 mm Skinny as a string but long as a golf club
I use metric tools in my job and have for decades. So, that part is second nature to me. Metric is SO much easier if you just use it without having to worry about conversions. And, I'm sure that would go for metric speeds too, although the conversion factor is pretty simple at 1 MPH ~ 1.6 KPH. I do have to do some conversions from inches to millimeters at work, and the factor 25.4 is more deeply burned into my brain than is my own telephone number.
