Topic: I need more math help.

[Jack Morris]

In Mexico they used old oil barrels with welded handles for garbage cans, kinda neat if ya ask me as MUCH more space available than our Yank trash cans.

Anyways, I removed all rust, used a rust preventer, layered with 3 coats of primer, and it is painted with 3 coats of spray paint in 3 different layers, the colors of the flag of Mexico, red, white and green.

I bought a stencil kit, that's the easy part, as I plan on painting sentences on the importance of recycling metal, plastics, and paper produts. My main problem was I had to print off the net the symbol for recycling, then copy and enlarge, then cut out myself on the paper with an exacto knife and make my own stencil kit. I'm ready to put it on a huge piece of thin and very flexible cardboard paper and trace trace the symbol to be cut then I can paint the symbol on the can. I suck at math, so could someone please figure out where I need to tape the paper stencil on the cardboard so it's dead center? I take pride in my projects and I'm a very firm believer in doing it right the first time though I also realize mistakes happen sometimes.

The cardboard is 50 inches from top to bottom, and is 65 inches across. My stencil paper I made for tracing is 21 1/2 inches from top to bottom, and is 28 inches across.

People helped me before with my rose garden, which by the way is the envy of Colonia Santa Rosa! Thanks to you guys and my research on perfect rose care. 

Hope you math whizzes can help me out on this one, as after I get this done, and the educational sentences on the rest of the can, I plan on applying some clear coat, then it will be ready to be put out on display and used in front of the house!

Thanks.

You da man LeRoy! Thank you soooo much!

BTW, I did night ops on that tree, just used a double edged saw to get it away from the metal fence. I'm going to use a long, very long drill bit, and drill at the bottom, then use a syringe and small hose connected to it and it inject this stuff that I use for removing paint.

Klean Strip Premium Remover made by W.M. Barr and Co. Inc.
An employee owned company

This stuff is KILLER, liquifies any paint to be scraped off in 15 minutes! I am very careful with the stuff as you get even the tinyest amount on your skin and it burns like HADES itself! I'll give results after I perform operation "Klean Strip tree killer." Us peeps that believe in property rights gotta stick together ya know! 

Again, thank you for taking the time to not only inform me, but make me a diagram! Way cool man! God bless ya.

A train leaves Denver at 9:00am carrying 90 passengers and Ted Kennedy. Traveling at an average speed of 50 mph, with it's final destination being Los Angeles, exactly how long will it take before all the female passengers are groped and/or thrown from the train?

Timewise or shots of Chivas Regal consumed? 

[Jack Morris]

MMMMMMMMMM, Chivas Regal, my favorite scotch, too bad I cannot drink some.  At least until VA is allowed to do genetic manipulations and change my genetic preference for alcohol. I believe in gene research and therapy, it could lead to a cure for alcoholism, as the scientist that did the experiments with the rats and getting them addicted to Vodka/water mixture vs plain water had over 80% recovery rate after manipulating the gene that causes preference for alcohol addiction! Think if the govt. allowed all this to be used on humans, it would save us Billions in health care alone!

I don't think the alcoholic beverage companies would be too happy, nor some of the feds, as that is lost tax dollars when someone does not buy beer or wine or liquor.

Dammit you've thrown the whole calculation into a tailspin.

How much Chivas Regal is out there anyways?

[Jack Morris]

I see more other liquors in Texas than Chivas, it's not a cheap scotch ya know. 

Here in Mexico there is liquor and beer EVERYWHERE, yet their alcoholism rate is lower than ours. Is it because our culture "glorifies" the party life and you are not good looking or cool or happy unless you are a partyer?

BTW, an interesting fact, Bacardi rum here in Mexico is made in Cuba, not Puerto Rico! I still have yet to try a Cuban cigar as they are legal here.

I think the ratio is 3 shots or 4 travellers bottles per grope, so by the time they go past the Coors brewery, 6 gropes.

£1.80 per 25ml shot in my local back home

Jeez, what happened to the 50 pence pint?  Old Farmer's Brown at the Trigger Pond was only 60 pence, and it could make vowels opptional.

Hey JS, got your car up and running...the good old Yank Tank..just what you need for those quaint English back roads    How I remember them..one laners with an occasional widening so two cars could get by each other.

Take care

Those "quaint English back roads" are plenty wide enough for a battlewagon

Heh Heh..I shipped my '75 Ram Charger over there when I was station at RAF Croughton..big wheels, 390 cu in, dual exaust with headers...some of my neighbors in Middle Barton thought I was strange...sold it to a bloke near Banbury for 1200 quid, about what I paid for it in the states ($2200)..he was real happy with it

Enjoy, but leave the keys at home when at the pub (for those who don't know, England has a drunk in charge law...even if your car is at home, you got the keys, you are in charge)

Unfortunately I don't get to drink in my local that much, on account of working there behind the bar. And being drunk behind the bar is my boss's job!
