Hi Ken, At no time were there 2.7 million American soldiers in Vietnam. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Otherwise known as the Three Stooges. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Keep the phone lines open; I'm sure there will be more. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, And Truman was considered just a good guy to play poker with & drink bourbon with; not much else. IMO he was a great POTUS. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, According to a national news 'Breaking News' bulletin, Putin has invaded Ukraine in totality. Jerry Baumchen PS) It will be interesting to see what Trump says now.

Hi airdvr, It worked for me. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, In one iteration of the FAA's Quality Program req'ments, the FAA said something to the effect that all 'special processes' had to be well-defined, detailed and to develop written procedures on just how these 'special processes' were controlled within the certificate holder's facility. I merely wrote in my Quality Program Manual that the processes used in manufacturing my rigs were: - Cutting - Sewing - Swaging I then stated that, within the parachute industry, these were not 'special processes' but were normal manufacturing processes. The FAA seemed to accept this as they approved that version of my QPM. I never wrote anything regarding how I controlled these 'special processes.' Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: any requirement for approved materials and traceability will be in the production certificate I no longer have any records for my former businesses; however, I do not recall this being in the letter from the FAA granting any of my TSO-authorizations. That does not mean that some other ACO did not put such wording into their letters of authorization.

Hi Ken, Again, that term is not used in any TSO req'ment. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, And, people do not like lawyers. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, In no TSO standard is there any mention of any req'ment for traceability of the mat'ls. used. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Deyan, Actually, it is from 1974 when the Wonderhog was originally certificated. Just for those perfectionist types. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Unstable, And, I think that is something the French should do. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, The latest from Washington state: Washington state to lift indoor mask mandate March 21 - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen PS) I expect Oregon to be right behind them.

Hi Keith, If you want to read on why not, try this book: The Newhall Shooting - A Tactical Analysis by Mike Wood (revolverguy.com) Newhall incident - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, IMO it is for sure a 'non issue' for the FAA. They will only concern themselves with that which is certificated; riser covers are not certificated. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Big, IMO that would be more entertaining that this year's half-time show. Jerry Baumchen

Hi nwt, I have to agree with Ken; at least here in Oregon, the need is going down. We simply have less people in our ICU's. I base this upon what I am currently seeing on the local news. Also, again according to my local news, the Oregon governor has said that should the trend continue downward that she will remove all masking req'ments, except for large groupings, on 1 Apr 22. * Jerry Baumchen * I tried to find a cite for this info, but could not.

Hi Ken, IMO a truly pathetic organization. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, And the big wheels of justice keep on turning, turning, turning. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Well, for me, that is a definite. Also, I ALWAYS mute my tv whenever any commercial comes on for any tv broadcast show/program. I also did not watch the opening 'ceremonies', did not watch the half-time show, and moved on as soon as the game ended. I saw what I wanted to see; even if the team I wanted to win did not. C'est la vie, Jerry Baumchen PS) I have yet to find any sporting event in which the outcome changed anything about my life.

Hi John, I'm 81 & I agree with you. I do not like wearing a mask. I do not like getting shots. I do it to keep me & others safer. Not absolutely safe, just safer. There are no guarantees in life. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I think this one comes under the 'for worse' category: Washington state prosecutor says wife’s racist rants shouldn’t be held against him - oregonlive.com She had declared herself a “proud white nationalist” and held up the Ku Klux Klan as a beacon of “white culture.” Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, This, from your link, is what they should be concerned with: Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office is conducting an internal investigation of Peters, as well as the FBI, 21st Judicial District Attorney’s office, and the Colorado Attorney General’s office who are conducting a criminal investigation of Peters. That's a lot of power. Jerry Baumchen
