Hi Bill, Are they ever? Jerry Baumchen

Hi 93, OK, you asked. ParaFlite was the first to have a 'channel' from the bottom grommet to the top grommet to seperate the closing loop. They also had a small piece of plastic pipe in the 'channel' to keep the 'channel' from being squished. Not long after, I added the 'channel' to my d-bags. I did not include the piece of plastic pipe as I considered it unnecessary. I just never liked the Vector method of using another piece of line with that slip knot in it. Too much extra work IMO. And, do not get me started on 'rigger friendly' about the Jav's 'pinched' grommets. I'm admittedly biased, but the 'channel' is the best design for the rigger. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I've been in the Club Fed in Pennsylvania a number of times for work. It is still a prison and no one wants to be there. Jerry Baumchen -

Hi Bill, IMO it should be: Folks, we've have a minor problem with the aircraft and will be returning to Denver. You didn't want to go to Hawaii, anyway. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I've lived in my current house for 25 yrs now. About 20 yrs ago, a neighbor, down the road had a creek near his back yard overflow & flood his daylight basement. I felt sorry for the poor bugger, having to do all of that repair work. So, he built a berm to hold back the water. A few years later, the water came over the berm & he got flooded again. I thought, 'Man, you cannot get a break.' A few years later, I saw a large claw machine tearing down the house. I stopped to see what was going on. The homeowner was a lawyer ( he did not build the house ) and he sued the city of Beaverton for issuing a building permit in a flood plain. He won, the city bought him out, and that lot is now a wild, natural area. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Some interesting data: At least 14 defendants appear to have expressed support for Qanon At least 16 of the defendants appear to have links to the Proud Boys At least 10 of the defendants have alleged ties to the Oath Keepers At least three of the defendants are allegedly affiliated with the Three Percenters Capitol Insurrection: More Than 250 People Charged And What We Know About Them : NPR Jerry Baumchen PS) From the link: The group is known to target and recruit current and former law enforcement officers and military veterans.

Hi Wendy, Re: There are consequences for decisions. Yes, there are. I am a believer that if you are not listed as an organ donor, you should not be eligible to get one. And then there is this: Anti-vaccination protesters have gathered across Australia Covid: Anti-vaccination protests held in Australia ahead of rollout - BBC News I would not give them a hospital bed if they get infected. Jerry Baumchen PS) I was reading the other day that 30% of the US military is refusing the vaccination. When I was in 'No' was not an option.

Hi Bill, I could not have said it better. Back when they made the no-FERC decision, I was travelling down to the DFW area quite a lot. I remember talking to some of them about this decision. THEY were not going to have those feds telling THEM what to do. Jerry Baumchen PS) I have owned personal houses for 45 yrs, I have never had a day without Home Owner's Insurance. I have never made a claim on any policy. I will not go without it.

Hi John, Re: so they put her in a plexiglass box They should put her in a horizontal box. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, She could be in a fair amount of trouble; from your link: arrested on suspicion of felony unlawful flight from law enforcement. Jerry Baumchen PS) A felony conviction usually means prison time.

Hi Keith, Ironically, on tonite's local news they are saying that the 2nd dose of either vaccine is exactly the same as the 1st vaccine. It is not a lesser or different formulation. Jerry Baumchen

Hi lippy, Somewhat related, see below. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, My daughter, my guru in all of this, says, that since I got the Pfizer vaccine, I should feel OK after the 2nd shot. Time will tell, Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I got my first vaccination this afternoon. I have to say it was well organized. And, the shot was such a nothingburger that she had to tell me that she had finished. And, that was from a nurse-trainee. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Re: They stick them in the back of a closet and forget about them. A local guy bought everything in an estate sale, got it home & found a complete rig in one of the boxes. Brought it out to the dz to see what he had & became a quite experienced skydiver. Jerry Baumchen
