This is just crazy to think!!!

Mars will look as large as the full moon to the nek!d eye.

holy shiza

anyone else hear of this?

MARS SPECTACULAR!═ Mark your calendars!

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth

is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the

closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next

time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's

gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be

certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000

years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within

34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest

object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of - 2.9 and will

appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification

Mars will look as large as the full moon to the nek!d eye. Mars will

be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east

at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise

at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m.

That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen

in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August

to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the

month.

I don't drink hard alcohol...just beer. last I checked beers didn't light up like that

There's HP & NR True Grey. I install both all the time. I love those films. Damn good lookin' stuff. The NR matches factory tint damn well. I think the NR True Grey is one of the best looking films I install.

trashed by a tornado Wednesday night.

check it out !!

fink design that mountainman sent me

all solargard film...rose red, royal blue, emerald green, silver 20, backed with True Grey 6. The outer border is green vinyl. The picture could be better but I don't wanna take any more. I'm ready to go home and start my long weekend.

you never know...he said he was new to tinting.

Paint Protection Film applied to vehicles to protect from rock chips and road debris.

and a MUCH higher chance of contamination

you guys have a show called 'Queer Eye for the Texan Guy?'

wazzup?

Is it becuze blade is online?

probably

about 6 months for me too....those things p1ss me off

no heat absorption specification on the film there

  The less reflective the film the more it's going to absorb heat on the glass. 

This statement isn't entirely accurate...all films vary in their amount of heat absorption.

I was thinking along the lines...Silver 20 will have less heat absorption than say a Stainless Steel 20 or N1020.

you mentioned they're dual pane windows....do you know the heat absorption specs for the film you installed?

One thing with window film and heat rejection....there's a certain amount of heat reflected back off the glass, a certain amount that makes it through the film, and a certain amount absorbed ON the glass. Any film is going to make the glass itself hotter than it was before. The less reflective the film the more it's going to absorb heat on the glass. If you drop a blind there then the heat on the glass will radiate between the glass and blind making the glass even hotter still.

No matter what....the house will stay cooler with the film. Plus the added benefit of UV protection and glare reduction.

It's been awhile since a post had to be trashed. It must have been during the board switch or host issues.

I've read over it again and metint was right...the dude could just mean that it's his first tint job on his car. Not that he actually did the tintjob.
