Firearm information for the enthusiast
Excellent day, today. I’ve been working on the thrasher, our 2005 Ford Escape with 150,000 miles on the odometer. A replacement Optima battery had been ordered from Amazon, after receiving guidance from that site’s replacement parts compatibility feature. The price was $34 less than the same product at Wally’s.

Higher velocity, means reduced time in flight, which means a farther distance can be reached before significant effects of gravity are felt. With relative increases in velocity come kinetic energy increases at…...
10/26/2019 Yes, your observations are correct. I am an analogue troglodyte… but with an excuse. I like making immediate notations on a yellow lined pad; quad paper even better, but it is too hard to photograph when placed against a white background. I can write with a 0.5mm Pentel mechanical…...
