Now I'm glad I pointed that out. I don't like correcting people for fear of insulting them. In this case it was the right thing to do to get you back on track.
Please don't be offended. It was not my intent.
Let us know how you made out.

I always enjoy posts written by kawaBCN.  They are interesting from a technical aspect, but also - they are so darned ENTERTAINING!

I started a bike and got a mile down the road when it progressively ran worse and died.  I began pushing it home periodically trying to start it.  It ran breifly and I chugged in first gear twenty feet at a time before I finally realized my mistake: I had forgotten the choke on.

Kawboy doesn't bother me at all, in fact, it motivates me and makes me see that I should pay more attention to what I read and to the small details.
I simply remembered a figure of 0.16 and I kept it in the drawer of my brain where I keep everything related to the decimal metric system, here we don't usually measure things with the thickness of the big toe.

Regarding your observation, I read it just before going to sleep, I admit that I was awake for a long time considering whether to go down to the garage and finish the work at the risk of waking up the neighbors by speeding up or falling asleep, I opted for the second option.

Today after lunch I sacrificed my half hour nap and finished work.
Issue resolved.

"I don't like correcting people for fear of insulting them."

KB, speaking for me, myself and I, please DO CORRECT me, each and every time. 

You will NOT offend. My life motto is "Break my heart, make me cry, just tell me the F'n truth!"
