Also, I don't know what kind of weather to expect. Is 29 degrees chilly or hot? Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Would that or would that not make the Metric users not as smart as the American Standard Users American Standard users have to think more about what they do instead of just dividing 10 .. Oh Wait our Country is becoming Lazy and Stupid so the Metric System makes perfect sense to the young kids of today When you are Stoned all the time it is easier to just divide by 10

I always lose the 12mm socket, but the 1/2" is always right where I left it. Maybe because nobody else wants it? If you find the missing 12mm socket, there's bound to be a handful of 10mm ones there also.

Just keep a Metric Cresent wrench handy.
