7.48 Gallons
hard to imagine a square foot holding more than a 5-gallon bucket. but it does.
You need cooler friends.
The eyelets are what you lace the shoestrings THROUGH.
The aglets are the plastic/cellophane wrap that is at each END of the lace, which keeps the shoelace from fraying.
Actually, I believe it is a little under 7.5 gallons.
I use 64 lbs/cu ft for water, and 8 lbs per gallon (pint's a pount/world around), because it's easy and close enough for most stuff.
I could have looked up the exact number, but I was within 10%.

Now that is interesting. I do a lot of crossword puzzles and I can only remember one time the word aglet was used. (I do mainly the NYTimes puzzles, sorry, but I never buy it!) Now epee is there all the time and nano.
Somehow I knew it was *you* saying this. But then again, it's Saturday night and you probably don't have a date. Again.
Tell you what - I'll walk a few blocks (you kinda know where I live) and take care of that "date" thing and be home in 90 minutes after only having to buy a couple of cocktails - K ?
90 minutes?
LOL
Our local rag has the NYTs crossword on Sunday.
About the only reason I buy it.
Thanks for clearing that up, and it makes sense seeing as how they were talking about something similar holding DNA strands together:)
DHS last Thursday used the police power to remove my 8 yr old and her 4 yr old half sister (my grandchildren) from the ONLY home they have known -and DHS has reportedly told Alyssa’s birth father she is not to have ANY contact with anybody in this house. The younger granddaughter was split from her half sister and placed with her other grandmother (Robin- mother of the druggie daddy of Kaylee) I suppose she has been told the same.Those girls were NEVER abused -nor neglected here. Not by their grandparents. Never harmed by their mother either-but they were frightened of Kaylee’s daddy who both girls said often was “mean to their momma”—and to them) DHS said they wanted to help Tamara keep her girls. They employ a psych warfare tactic that is effective—but is waterboarding, Isolation (and this is a form of such) and deprivation( all practiced by our armed forces to train adults about to be deployed in harms way.And as interrogation.Now I wonder if the real harm done by DHS will affect my grandchildren’s genes? The stress of being removed by force from ones home ought not be sneezed at.Welcome to the Police State. Formerly called the United States of America.

Thanks - now I have a terrible rash.
