I once loaded 25 80# bags of concrete mix into the bed of my Chevy S10.  I only had 2 miles to haul it but we didn't grasp just how much weight it was till we got it loaded.
That's gotta weigh close to a ton . . .  ;)

^ :rofl:  

High school quick arithmetic techniques...

25, call it .25 or one-quarter.

One half of 8 is four, one half of 4 is two.

Throw in the right decimal places is 2000 pounds.  (Couldn't be 200 lb, couldn't be 20,000 lb, must be 2000 lb.)

Yep, just for a quickie rough estimate, 2000 pounds is pretty close to a ton.  :D

(Actually, I did this when that post ( RKL's ) first showed up.  Mainly because my calculator was a foot beyond my reach.)
