Who has more balls than these guys?

Suddenly I'm craving a turkey sandwich. . . . .

Okay ... I'm not against guns ... but never saw the pleasure in killing stuff. But that just me.

I've never taken pleasure in killing things, however when I do I take GREAT pleasure in feeding my family with them.

But I digress...

Nice shots Ron!

Nice shots, indeed.

I try to use simple measurements, like chains and fortnights.

Chain = 16.5'
4 chains = an old road Right-of-Way.

Nice pics of the turkeys. Alas there are none on VI. You do not want to get me started on the great metric / imperial / US measure debate!!

I list all my patients weights in stones, and heights in hands.
just to throw everyone off

What was the old maritime measurement of dropping a rope with knots into the water?

I cannot fathom why six feet would be a fathom or why 16.5 ft would be a chain.

Fathom is the distance of a man's wide spread arms. An easy measurement when one is taking soundings. ( Dropping the weighted line overboard.)

Don't know about the chain though other than it is used in surveying.

Unless you are 5'6"

 

[Ron Evers]

In that case, some fathoms are deeper than others.

Me compared to a Bald eagle.

Props for the dual Imperial/metric 25'/5m nomenclature,Ron! Maybe that comes from the French/English rigamarole that's required by law up there,eh?

LOL! except 5 meters is around 17', not even close to 25!
