    It’s not for rivets! Come on people, you know that is a Sasquatch size micrometer. 🤯 they have to make sure the armor is at the proper thickness to repel the anti tank rifle rounds.

    Huh - a micrometer!

    Well that makes perfect sense!

    I think it was in 1959 or very early 1960 when my folks were invited on a tour through the brand new Tasty Bread factory. To this day I can still remember the aroma of the fresh baked bread and the taste of the slice of bread I was given, buttered with real butter the slice was so thick my little hands could hardly hold its thickness.
    then twice since I have toured the MRS Baird's bread factory once in the 3rd grade and again 2 years later in the 7th grade yes I jumped grades a few times but neither time at the Baird's bread visits did the ambiance or the aroma even come close to matching that first visit.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    When I was a little kid (I think second or third grade) we went on a field trip to the local Rainbo bakery to see how it was made. I still remember how good the whole building smelled.

    I suppose there is reason that the guy stacking the bread on the tray is not 20 feet closer to the guys unloading the bread from the oven, maybe it has to cool.
