Yes, that was the final straw. There was a series of things happening prior to the miscalculation. In Crew Resource Management we call it the Swiss cheese model. A series of small holes, in and of themselves meaningless, until all the holes line up.
Covid19 Fallout Observations

Yes it was Murray... Or at least that was what they said it was... Like Al said... math is hard.... We started the system change in the mid 70's in NS but there were many sectors of pretty much everything that dug their heels in and stalled converting for quite some time... there were many industries that were still imperial in the mid 80's and some, including farmers, still are imperial today.... oops...I see Al beat me to it.... Oh well
It is also made more complicated because larger aircraft don’t operate on miles per gallon or litres per hundred kilometers. Fuel is quantified in pounds and operating in pounds per hour. So there is an additional calculation because nobody sells fuel by the pound.
In addition to what I may or may not have said in the past.. while keeping myself busy during this current crisis.
I was cleaning out my office desk and came upon the care and cleaning instructions on my car cover.
apparently the BOLD PRINT says "Do not machine wash, Do not machine dry, Air dry only. If an area becomes soiled, use an all purpose cleaner to rub it out and rinse area with water.
Lol. Too late.......it’s air drying now after being machined washed....In addition to what I may or may not have said in the past.. while keeping myself busy during this current crisis.

My soft cover, California Car Covers I think, is washable but they advise not to use fabric softener for some reason. I wash it in a big laundromat washer every year.
Wow, a lot of reading and good to see the levity coming back. Derek, I think I am also one of the lucky ones, Family is home and well, so far, and I am offshore working and getting paid instead of laid off or something. In a way, out here, we are all sort of quarantined anyway with no contact to the outside world. Saying that, I would love to be home supporting my community and looking out for family and friends.
I have bugged my sibling over the years about a DVD buying fetish and regret it now as I am now rather grateful being set up for hours and hours (days and days) of self-isolation. Able to watch something that is not easily available anywhere if at all .... This Series is sooooo Entertaining ... Sgt. Schultz is the Man

It's on the local station every weekday morning. I've recorded every one.
Major Hochtstetter is my favorite (amongst many).
So I finally got the garage cleaned after it got a lube job yesterday. I will have to TPS the ceiling and repaint to get rid of the stain from Volcano Oil Pan. Washed the car cover on delicate with cold water and double rinsed in cold water. Air dried it and guess what.....it shrunk. About an inch in width and about 2 inches in length (Insert joke here). Still fits but is rather snug. Replaced the valve in the oil pan.
What disaster will befall today?

It's all good Al. Your new Vette will shrink somewhat after the first wash and dry as well.
Ok .... the photo is in my library ...
Waiting for the right moment ...
Don’t wash your vette the same way
But on the bright side .... Your cover will fit ...

Al the mistake you made was the cold water. Everyone know things shrink in cold water.
