Joke Of The Day: The Truck Stop A trucker came into a truck stop café and placed his order. He said, “I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights, and a pair of running boards.” The brand-new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, “This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights, and a pair of running boards! What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?”

“No,” the cook said. “Three flat tires mean three pancakes; a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up; and a pair of running boards are two slices of crisp bacon!”

“Oh, okay!” said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.

The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?”

She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards, you might as well gas up!”

How to Measure Remaining Daylight with Your Hand

You can estimate the amount of remaining daylight by using your hand and the horizon. This is a popular outdoorsman trick known as the “hand method” or “finger rule.” Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Remaining Daylight with Your Hand

  1. Face the Sun: Stand facing the setting sun, making sure you have a clear view of the horizon.
  2. Extend Your Arm: Stretch your arm out fully in front of you, palm facing you, fingers horizontal to the ground.
  3. Stack Your Fingers:
    • Place your bottom pinky finger on the horizon line.
    • Stack your fingers one over the other (palm-side toward you) toward the bottom edge of the sun.
    • Count how many fingers fit between the horizon and the sun.
  4. Estimate Time:
    • Each finger width (from pinky to index) represents roughly 15 minutes of remaining daylight.
    • A full hand (4 fingers) is about 1 hour.
    • If you can fit 2 hands (8 fingers), that’s about 2 hours of light left.

Notes & Tips:

  • This method works best closer to the equator and near sunset, when the sun’s angle is more horizontal.
  • It’s an approximation, but surprisingly accurate for planning hikes or travel before dark.
  • The trick works because the sun moves about 15 degrees per hour, and each finger equals around 1 degree at arm’s length.

Example:

You see the sun is 1½ hand-widths (6 fingers) above the horizon. That means you have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of daylight left.
