you might think that you know but do you know what?

You do not know.

I fixed the potato gun that failed so miserably at the beach tonight. woulda been a great surprise for T Rizzle to have pics of Alex, cannon in hand.

Moral of the story:

more fuel.

bigger sparks too.

also:

deoderant works way better than hairspray.

loud enough to cause one's ears to ring. really. 8 seconds of flight time for the potato in the parking lot once I got everything up and running.

I found this handy measurement which reminded me I was a bit off in my guesstimates of how high the potatoes were shooting:

At the end of one second the object has fallen 16 feet, at the end of two seconds it has fallen a total of 64 feet, at the end of three seconds it has fallen a total of 144 feet,and at the end of four seconds a total of 256 feet.

also bolsinga put up great pics.
