    Question How many steps does it take?

    Ok,day before yesterday, I was making my "Grande Enterance" when arriving to work.
    I left several feet of double black lines on the little frontage road next to the stealership.
    Anybody care to guess, how many steps?
    I will walk it off today.
    If you want a hint, I'm 6'7", Dead dig, and I had to steer out of a slide, to "Keep'er Goin' .


    Winner will recieve custom MM.net token.


    Yesterday afternoon;
    Had a customer that asked me, "What kind of car do You drive?"
    I replied, "Mercury Marauder".
    He said, "OH! , You Have one of those?"
    I was suprised he knew about it.
    I no sooner acknowledged his research, and he says,
    "I heard thier a DOG, out'ta the whole!"
    I must have had a grin on my face, a mile wide!
    When I replied, "Not any more".

    Good show Brad. I'd say you did a 50 step-er.

    135 feet(s)

    Um, but don't go back there with the MM; there's gonna be a guy standing with the officer, and pointing. "Yep, officer, that's him", he'll say.

    Remember, Bradley is 6'7 so figure at least 36" per stride, or two steps is gonna be 6ft. So, putting my guess of 135ft into steps, it's gonna be, 45 steps, or strides, as us old timers used to call 'em.

    Um, you paying the postage Brad-Ley?

    Excellent guesses!
    I marched it off this AM, two days of rain and they(marks) are not that noticeable.
    Oh, just regular steps.
