    Yeah and it worked great when I was out there today... LOL...

    Anyone thought of shooting the spuds thru a screen and making high velocity french fries or hashbrowns?

    Get the phone!

    So, how's the arc? Is it better than your first choice? Do those wires get twisted up when you screw the cap on?

    The arc works great for the first couple then it gets wet and quits so you just have to wipe it off then it's good to go for again.

    Yes the wires twist a little, but nothing that hampers the operation.

    And No DGD I wasn't aiming for the old Chevy

    Didn't you have to shave the golf ball down to fit in the barrel?

    Wow! That is a great idea. It has never occurred to me to use a golf ball.

    Yea we cut it down and it went farther than the potato.... We then tried it without cutting it down in 2" pipe, but it went like 3 ft and rolled across the yard

    That was funny I wish I would have had my camera when we tried to shoot the golf ball out of the 2" pipe.

    All you have to do to get it to fit into a 1-1/2" pipe is take the outer skin off then it fits perfectly.
