I ordered a thing that will be made out of plastic. I said in my email that it's to be 3/8" because the last ones I ordered were 1/2" and that's too thick. They called back and said at 3/8, they think it will be too fragile, and the smallest they advise is 3/10. I ignored that and said well I see in the catalog that it comes in 3/8 and 1/2; I want the 3/8. He said 7/16 would be okay; the smallest they'll do is "point-three something." I said "point three seven five?" He says "that could be. Point 3 is three tenths, so that must be it."
So. 0.4375 inches it will be.
Tell them it will be pointed towards Canada, so it needs to be metric.

That I've been fahrting on the Autobahn too long. ;)
Mike T from Chicago is on the back of my 1974 Kawasaki H2 triple. We zipped down to Frankfurt from Butzbach to go to S@#* Park to find some red plate or bubblegum black.
I had an old gas mask bag from the WW1 over the side that I kept tools and whatever in and, unbeknownst to us, had fallen over the end of one of the exhaust pipes and was flaming while we flew along. Some guy pulls along side and clues us in. I almost ran off the road. LOL
I pulled over and bested a reset and we moved on downtown to the park and copped. It was the black. Man that hash was good.
And that motorcycle was fast...
I hated losing that cool bag...
Yeah, they call them freeways here, at least most do. Others might call them Interstates. Not all freeways are Interstates though. We do have the Ohio Turnpike toll road and do not call that a freeway for obvious reasons. Hey, I'm from California. That's what we call them out there. One thing we don't do in Ohio is put "the" in front of the name or number like out there. I find that most annoying. That happened after I moved east years ago.
What would that same truck in front of your car (twice) be telling you? Same thing, over and over again, morning, noon and nite? The The..?

Getting on the freeway on my way to work this morning, there was a truck in front of me. No big deal. Getting off the freeway coming home tonight, that very same truck was in front of me on the exit ramp ...
Dont you live in Ohio? Ohio has "freeways"?

LMAO! This happened to me on Christmas Day heading to my friends in NH for Christmas dinner. Same Maine black pickup truck going to @ 12:30 and from @8:30.
I know itâs the âmen in blackâ following me.
