Hi Joe, Possibly your best post to date. And, I agree 100%. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Make that used the uneducated. He only loves himself. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, I would guess that you have not had an elderly mother that called you twice a year to come over & reset all of her clocks. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, To the best of my rememberance, The Altitude Shop, with their Top Secret, was the first rig to use Cordura material. It was 1000d mat'l. I don't remember the sequence of who came along, using Cordura, after that. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Since we do not know the details, such is life. Most problems during driving IMO have more to do with anger management than the rules of the road. 1. If someone is signaling that they want into my lane, I slow down & let them in. 2. If they want to get 'bully' and just shoot into my lane, I let it pass. 3. I never stand on my horn for anything. A quick 'blip' usually works just fine. 4. Never give another driver/passenger the finger. If someone 'bullies' into my lane, just how much does that slow me down for where I want to go? Maybe 30 seconds at the most. 30 seconds out of my life is not worth some anger-driven road rage event. OK, I'll get down off of my soap box now, Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Since, I think, you are retired, as I am, I think the The entire concept is unimportant. I only set an alarm clock when I have something important in the morning; such as, a medical app't that I could not get later in the day. I'm more of a night-person than a morning-person. Pick one ( I prefer DST ) and stick with it. After all, it is only numbers on some device. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Here, in Oregon, you can't. It must be locked up. How fast does one need to get their gun & have it ready to go? How long does it take someone to break into a house? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, With Rush in that cartoon, it reminded me of Weekend at Bernie's. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Don, I always read any link that I post. I just wanted to put somewhat of a happy face on what might be a major problem for her. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Tri, And, a lot of people in this country thought even less of Harry Truman when he took the oath as POTUS. He rose to the occasion and I am sure she would, if req'd. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, To follow on dudeman17's comments; IMO it is not so much the possibility of fabric tearing as it is the potential to truly re-arrange the packing of the canopy as the bag comes off. This also could be catastrophic. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Interesting tidbit from your 2nd link: Both host country and the US would then need to approve the use of the weapons, which would be launched on the former’s (non-US) airplanes. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Re: (Does that ring any bells?) Reminds me of what was coming out of our involvement in Vietnam; until Walter Cronkite reported differently. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phill, Make that 77 yrs. Remember, at the end of the war in Europe, Gen Patton wanted to push the USSR back to their pre-wars borders. The western allies were tired of war. And, of course, the agreements that came out of the Yalta Conference; those 'agreements' that everyone signed. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, Here is a fabric that I have used in the past: Uncoated Oxford Fabric | Solarmax Fabric | Seattle Fabrics It is an uncoated 200d fabric that IMO would make a very nice free bag. Jerry Baumchen PS) I would expect that with some time searching the internet, it could be found for much less if buying in large quantities.

Hi Jakee, Re: immediate victory I never said that. From my Post #721: I would prefer that you not try to put words in my mouth. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jakee, From my Post #705: I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, One has to wonder just what Putin considers horrendous losses. Stalin's mantra was, 'Not one step back.' I do not know if Putin is making the day-to-day decisions or leaving it up to his generals. Should they not be able to surround Kyiv, then your scenario of shell the city into oblivion would seem to be Plan B. Either will work for him. Re: That level of war crime may well bring the US and NATO to the point of action. At this time, I have no idea on what the US & NATO are considering.

Hi Joe, According to the news that I was watching yesterday afternoon, Kyiv is down to two weeks supply of food. Once he has Kyiv surrounded*, he can sit back & starve them into submission. * It is known as a pincer movement; just as Marshal Zhukov did at Stalingrad. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Re: This horror show is it's own thing. As it is now, you are correct. Once the Russian forces surround Kyiv it will be game over. I, at this time ( and, I do hope that I am wrong ), believe that by the end of this calendar year, Ukraine as we knew it two months ago, will no longer exist. Putin, once he has full control, will declare it a part of Russia. He will govern it from Moscow. Only Russian will be taught in the schools. He may even make it a strictly agricultural nation, to feed the rest of the Russian Federation. Thoughts?????? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Thank you. Jerry Baumchen
