We went back and forth on asphalt or cement for our driveway with asphalt being more cost effective - so given that, we went with cement.
And - yup - I am going to epoxy the garage floor.
I got a TON of music but - oddly - I have no Marilyn Manson !!
You need cement. Nice level place to change the oil. So you tell the wife you're going out to change the oil in the truck. Then you drive to town and leave it at a shop and then have a few brews, return later looking all sweaty and tell her...done!
Ooops. Reminds me, I got to change the oil in the Jeep tomorrow. Well got to go vote first.
I don't have any concrete, but I got a nice semi level spot in hard packed sand, and some Rhino ramps! Got my Mobil 1 and a Wicks oil filter ready to go.
I had asked my wife to order a jug of oil when she made her recent Wally world grocery order. She thought the containers only held a gallon (they hold 5 qts) so she was kind enough to order an extra quart as well! I love my wife for being so thoughtful!

The quart is a unit that does not exist in the UK. Just as well really, we already have pints and gallons that are different sizes in the UK and US. Our engine oil comes in litres.
Well of course it does! Y'all just gotta be different!
Next time I'll ask my wife to order 4.73 liters of oil. Of course, she may throw something at me.
Actually I think the containers state both liters and quarts. But most here think in terms of gallons/quarts/pints etc. Way it is.

Maybe when Ricky orders his concrete he will tell the contractor/concrete company the amount needed in cubic meters.
Ramps? Wow, I didn't know that Rhino also sold ramps. Can I get the bundle price if I buy all of these:

It's a non advertised special option!
Nah, I bought the low profile ramps for my Z28 years ago.
Well, a US quart is pretty close to a litre (liter), so maybe that has something to do with it. And then there’s that Imperial “gallon” that is supposedly ten pounds (weight, not currency) of water.
When one looks deeper and deeper into the metric system, one realizes that it is truly a thing of beauty.
We had imperial quarts in Canada, gone now due to that (damn) metric system. A quart is two pints. Four quarts in a gallon. I still refer to a litre of oil as a quart, and I always will!
One US quart is 32 fluid ounces while an imperial quart is 40 fluid ounces. An Imperial gallon is 160 fluid ounces while the US gallon is only 128 fluid ounces.
I was surprised to learn that Imperial and US ounces are not exactly the same, the US one is slightly larger. There are (about) five US quarts in an imperial gallon, I used to think that was an exact figure, due to the different size ounce it is approximate.
The odd size "quarts" (946-ml) that we often see here today are metric labeled US quarts.

All this pervasive chatter about Quarts, Liters, Meters, et alia just makes me thirst for a good old fashioned JUG of
Yes, well thanks to the metric system, we no longer have a "fifth" of alcoholic beverages, we have 750 ml. Instead of quart sizes, we got 1 liter sizes.
I grew up with the old measurements. But I've adapted pretty well to some metric measurements....just not all.
Now where's that "key" (kilo) that was promised me? Some of you old timers will get my drift. Think Arlo Guthrie's song....
Off a little from the conversation...but remember when a case of beer meant 24 cans? So they jacked up the price and give you 15 cans and call it a suitcase or some other jargon. Being almost as old as dirt, I remember when some brands of beer were 5$/case in the early '80's.
But maybe Ricky will have a kegger when all is finished, and sit back and admire his accomplishments.

Well an ounce is pretty darn close to 30ml. Too close to make much difference mostly. If that little bit makes a difference you'll be likely measuring with a graduated cylinder anyways.
back in my day we measured things via nickel and dime bag. Is that measure still used ?Yes, well thanks to the metric system, we no longer have a "fifth" of alcoholic beverages, we have 750 ml. Instead of quart sizes, we got 1 liter sizes.

Id love to have yall up for a kegger. Sonik can bring some specialty Boulevard tasties. Ralphie can bring a couple hundred Costco hot dogs. AR can wear a Jets jersey and get tons of sympathy and Ill make sure we play plenty of Tull for Johnny. Me and Boonie will sit outside with some Jack and a cigar and talk about chainsaws and Jeeps and such
