I had to go shopping for some hardware for Felix today.
Took a bolt with me so I wouldn't get the wrong one.
Went to Lowes,only half mile from the Li'l Lady's house to the store.
Asked the salesman what strength the bolt I had was.
He had no idea.Wasn't a kid,at least 50 years old.
Asked him what the numbers on the bolt meant.
Didn't know.I bought the highest number they had.
It was 12.9 ,.
I was hoping higher the number,stronger the bolt.
It was,I'm happy! 10.9 equals Grade 8.
Asked my Friend Google to explain Metric numbers/symbols.
This bolts: metric standards is what I learned.
Hope someone else is helped by this.
Our "Metric" Friends are gonna laugh about this.
Oh Well,,,
;cool;
