Oil in barrel while in storage, dry clean before shooting is standard procedure in my part of the old world as well. If you skip the dry clean part, I have read that someone thinks that oil in barrel *may* increase the pressure and that this might be bad for your karma or something. Ok, I made up the last part because a modern firearm should handle a little increased pressure just fine and after the first shot most of the oil should be gone anyway.

As naamanf points out transformers are rated in VA, and as V goes up (110 -> 220), A must go down. The issue is heat From Transformer Ratings: "The power-handling capacity of a transformer is dependent upon its ability to dissipate heat. If the heat can safely be removed, the power-handling capacity of the transformer can be increased. This is sometimes accomplished by immersing the transformer in oil, or by the use of cooling fins. The power-handling capacity of a transformer is measured in either the volt-ampere unit or the watt unit."

Some garden work, put winter tires on the car and thoroughly cleaned the barrel of my rifle. And ain't that a good excuse to put up another gun image? It is a Tikka M65, but mine is "left handed".

Happy birthday both of you!

lol

Happy Birthday!

Just for training, we have a couple of similar guns at work, and I discovered that it was mighty fun to shoot with such a pistol. The big deal with air guns is that you can use them almost everywhere. It shoots this kind of pellets: It is a 4.5 mm, so the ones from the front row will fit.

Just ordered a Baikal IZH 46M, a cheap (compared to similar air guns ) but high precision air gun.

Happy birthday!

Sorry to hear this. Hope you get a follow up with their hiring manager, it could provided valuable feedback. I agree with the above regarding phone interviews, communication between people are so much more than just words.

But didn't Hitachi buy the IBM disk line? I think it is indeed a Deathstar (but many a GB has been lost since then).

Speaking of penguins This one is a Colonel-in Chief in the Norwegian Army and here he is inspecting the Kings Guard:

Good luck!

It seems that ECCO Men's Shoes: Outdoor, Casual & Dress Shoes does not have their sandals available in US. I've used a lot of Ecco shoes (and sandals) in the last 20+ years, not always very cool but every pair I've had has been very comfortable to use.
