    Hi Keith, I used to play volleyball with two guys who flunked out of engineering, One became a dentist & the other a V-P at Jantzen. Both made twice what I made. 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

    Hi Keith, Re: Couldn't take 15 minutes of it. Click. Ain't heard a word since. About 30 yrs ago, we had a contractor located in Lancaster, SC. I went down there many times; lodged in Charlotte, NC - about a 30 minute drive to Lancaster. In the morning, on the way down, and in the late afternoon, on the way back, I found a radio station I quite liked. The only problem, when I had to drive into Lancaster for lunch, they had Rush on the air. 10 mins of that idiot, each way, was too much for me. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, Just going off of memory ( and we all know how that is ), IMO it was almost what day of the week did they make it. * Accumak is who we need to hear from on this. Jerry Baumchen PS) * Nothing unusual, everyone was trying to figure all of this out back then.

    Hi Brent, And, a different German perspective: Seven years ago, Mathias Döpfner was at a ceremony celebrating Tesla founder Elon Musk. Döpfner, the head of German media company Axel Springer, was seated next to a CEO of one of Germany's biggest carmakers, and he turned to him and asked, "Isn't this guy dangerous for you?" As he later recounted, the CEO shook his head. "These guys in Silicon Valley, they have no clue about engineering, about building really beautiful and great cars," the CEO told him. "So we don't have to worry." What Will Tesla's New German Gigafactory Mean For Germany's Auto Industry? : NPR Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Talk about horsepuckey: 'He was polite and respectful to everyone he met.' Conservative media pioneer Rush Limbaugh dead at 70 - POLITICO She needs to wake up & face reality. Jerry Baumchen PS) Oh, and let me ad: Relentlessly, he sold a conservative viewpoint with braggadocio, complete with name-calling and insults. There is reality.

    Hi John, You might excuse that area of Portland and south. We have a lot of tree-huggers here. To get approval to remove a tree on your own property, in this area, you usually have to replace it with one that will grow back as large as the one being taken out. Even then, it is an uphill battle with the local authorities. Also, a lot of people like those tall, full blooming, old Oak trees. The problem is that they do serious damage to the electric infrastructure during ice storms. I've removed all three of the large ( potentially damaging ) trees on my property.* My son took one out of his property last year and will probably take the other one out next year. Jerry Baumchen * I hated to do it, as I really liked the look of them.

    Hi Brent, Re: I have a big problem when the government does it with my money. If the feds ( Eisenhower's admin ) had funded the interstate system, you would be driving cars/trucks with 1940's technology. It was about 1947, we were on US 99, going north to visit my grandmother. My dad was driving our 1937 Chevy and he said to us, 'Look, we are going a mile a minute.' While it was only momentary, it was a big deal in those days. I have never forgotten that moment.

    Hi Ken, When today comes to an end, Mitch will be in office & Trump will not be. Also, I know of no potential lawsuits against Mitch. Guess who wins? Jerry Baumchen PS) Not that I like much about two-faced Mitch, though. Someone should tell Trump that sometimes reality sucks.

    Hi Bill, Re: But I see no evidence of it. I think it's more to do with kids that are driving their parents nuts. I'm with you. After all, parents have been home-schooling kids for decades. I have not seen any real problems with it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, Just from the info here; I think it is a StratoCloud, & pretty sure, a Wonderhog. And yes, a Navy conical reserve canopy. Not much value these days. Jerry Baumchen
