Grew up framing with my dad. Brilliant carpenter. Running things mathematically and stuff clicked in place. We’d read stuff out in decimals to stay entertained and direct input into a calculator…. It was fun .. in high school I worked for another contractor on a few projects and was calling out measurement to one of his ex con workers 96 5/8, half, 3/4 and when I said 13/16, you’ve thought I was speaking a different language. He froze up, looked like he had an aneurysm, then finally said “we don’t do 1/16ths”… I’ll never forget the look on his face…So you don’t yell out 43.6875”?
My wife is a coaster fiend and is currently waxing/oiling furniture for marks only she can see, OBTW, she has this set ^^^^

I had a scout with a 304 and 3 spd on the floor w/granny 1st. That thing never quit running. Drum brakes all four corners, one mechanic told me he’d pay to tow it to my house rather than let me drive after I refused his exorbitant estimate.
I remember hearing the word 'nerd' and wondered what it meant.... it wasn't in my Funk and WagnallI haven't seen or used a slide rule in ages. How many here remember them being called slipsticks?
