Default ice blocks for Cool Surge

I have 2 Cool Surge cooler/heaters that I think I bought in 2009. I need some
new 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" x 1" ice blocks. Where can I get them?

First, construct a watertight box whose inner dimensions are 3.5" x 5.5" x 1".
Marine-grade plywood should suffice; caulk the seams.

Fill with water and freeze.

Won't work. She needs 3 1/2 x 5 1/2, not 3.5 x 5.5. You need a special
ruler to make that.

3 1/2 is complicated way of doing things (3 numbers when you really mean
just one). Divide 1 by 2 and add it to 3.

Dang, you caught me. I want the U.S. to switch to the metric system.

We did that in 1975. Much stuff is still in inches because we export so
my to Liberia and Myanmarr and they don't have metric rulers.

Jokes aside, I see more and more metric as we do more world trade and
off shore manufacturing. i remember when the local shop could not fix
your Volkswagen because they did not have the right tools. .

I do to. It's much simpler, without the need to deal with multiple
unrelated units for the same thing (like inches, feet, yards, rods,
miles, etc...). Also, some people wouldn't refuse to accept how simple
it is.
