not sure I’ve heard the term mercun

You know, our language. It's different from "English" where they talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road.

in U/S lbs it’s 18,924.5 lbs each rod of that size.....9 tons

Thanks for that answer. I wonder if they have fins to keep them falling straight vertical?

I have no idea...when or how....though maybe one of many shuttle trips over time....

No biggie. I'm just glad they're hanging around up there, ready for action (or leverage) and that they're ours.

(Hmmmm....I wonder if Putin or the ChiComs have any?)

Have you heard the term merkin?

For about two years on the thread I've been intentionally spelling Angela Merkel "Merkin" and no-one has noticed or thought I was a bad speller (I am).

Google it, bet bagster likes that word.
