Hi Winsor, Would that be two; or would it be three? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, It has been a long time since I served. Back in the '50's, the Guard took an oath to the Oregon governor. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, That is Hi Ken, Re: In other words again with the "some people are saying" nonsense. It's a Trump-kinda thing. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Short of a major gaffe, I see the Harris-Walz ticket winning by a bigger margin than Biden did in 2020. And, IMO it is because so many of the GOP are sick & tired of the clown and his antics -> complete negativity on everything: you have to beat them in the general because we can’t beat them in the primary. Nancy Pelosi: Some Republicans have said Dems must beat Trump (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, That he definitely is. I received this today: I’d rather be known as “TamponTim“ for providing free period products in schools, than known as “MaxipadDon“ for wearing one on the side of my face. -------------------------- Which graphic designer is going to get on a “Tampon Tim stops the Red Wave” t-shirt for me? ------------------------- Hey Minnesota, Thanks for loaning us your dad. Some of us have been stuck with a deadbeat for as long as we can remember. Love, Texas ----------------------------- Kamala and Tim being running mates feels like Mom and Dad are coming into school to deal with the bully situation. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, Sounds more like fear. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, Plus, it would seem as though Trump is very afraid of having anything to do with a strong female: Watch: Trump Campaign Desperate to Avoid Kamala Debate Questions (msn.com) The usual tactic of a bully. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I have to admit, Tim Walz was not on my radar; but, I am really starting to like him: After noting that violent crime rates went up under Donald Trump, he added – with a smile - “and that doesn’t even count the crimes he committed”. Tim Walz mixes jokes with jibes as he takes national stage (bbc.com) Should be a lot of fun between now & 5 Nov. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, He does live in a strange world. All of his own making. Jerry Baumchen

TSO? (was 113 DOM april 2008 maximum weight ?)
JerryBaumchen replied to Deyan's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hi Rob, Re: we still need minimum standards for reserve opening times, distances and descent rates. Yet, a lot of the modern world does just fine with out these standards. People who have never worked with the FAA, as a TSO-holder, have this strange sense that the TSO system actually works. Re: And please remember that docile 7-cell reserves do not flare as well as the latest 21-cell, Schumann planform mains. Having drop tested squares, I can tell you that you do NOT want to land any square canopy without input from the user. Those uncontrolled landings are not a pretty picture. I agree with Deyan 100%. Jerry Baumchen PS) Ask Bill Booth what he thinks about getting rid of the TSO req'ment. -
Hi Robert, Lindsay Graham is fighting a losing battle: Every day we’re talking about her heritage . . . is a good day for her and a bad day for us. Lindsey Graham urges Donald Trump to stop attacks on Kamala Harris race, heritage (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, Re: I worked for major gear . . . factories at the peak of my rigging career. In 1974, the TSO was issued for the WonderHog -> Vector 1 -> Vector 2 -> Vector 3. I do not know of any other piece of gear that is still being built, sold & used under a certificate that is now 50 yrs old. The Racer comes close at 49 yrs old. IMO both are quite amazing accomplishments. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, And, one of his former professors at Wharton, said he was the dumbest student he ever had. Grades, bone spurs; it is truly amazing what money can do for someone. No, Donald Trump has never been/will never be smart. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Robert, And, today you can buy a brand new 1932 'Ford' roadster. Brookville Roadster These aircraft, like a lot of US Navy ships, are continually being upgraded. IMO a rather ridiculous argument. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Nigel, Hmmm, where will she be on the ballot? I know she will not be on any ballot I fill out. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Bill, And, the sad part is that his MAGA meat-heads will believe it. Those idiots will believe anything as long as they can 'somehow' use it to justify their support for Trump. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi 13, IMO always a good meal. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Keith, Define 'old' and 'young.' When I was 19 & in basic training, 'old' was about 25. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Robert, The first time I went to Disneyland was in the summer of 1960. There were orange trees everywhere. Maybe Trump visited about then. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Barts, Ever seen the slums of Brazil? Not pretty. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Deyan, You are ONLY the 2nd person to actually answer the question. Thank You! A very well thought out response. IMO everyone else [ except zombie13 ] has jumped around the actual question. * Jerry Baumchen * If I asked 'everyone else' what time it is; they would probably answer, 'I woke up at 8:30 this morning.'

Hi Larry, It gets more difficult every year. Jerry Baumchen PS) Before our time: And if you’ve wondered to yourself whether the Nationals ever included a beauty contest, the answer is, “Yes, in one year. 1962.” A Short Look at a Long History—The USPA National Championships

Hi John, I do not keep up with military aircraft. Any thoughts on how that 45-yr old design would fare against current Russian aircraft? Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Looks like the coward is afraid of her: I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate? And, further proof of his lack of reality/delusionment: I’m leading in the polls. Donald Trump on facing Kamala Harris: 'Why should I do a debate?' (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, If you were born, raised & live in a country that truly supports human rights, consider yourself fortunate. “All women deserve a safe environment in which to flourish, which is what Lolita was doing before she was taken."
