  1. Hi Bill, Sure, go ahead & wait until Nov 5th & see what happens. Jerry Baumchen PS) I just got a text from the Biden camp; it ends with this: 'Because as you read this, Trump is hammering Joe Biden.' No shit!!!!!!!!
  2. Hi 13, Send it here for a new line set: Pete Swan 813 Harbor Blvd., Suite 188 West Sacramento, CA 95691 209-366-3712 parachutesplus@gmail.com Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Joe, Not going to work. IMO the only way to beat Trump is with a whole new team. At this time, Biden is far worse than a lame duck. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi folks, One of my favorite tv shows is Washington Week, should be a good one tonite. Washington Week with The Atlantic PBS Check your local listings. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi folks, Time to run the white flag up over the White House. Re: The president had, in the first 30 minutes of the debate, fully affirmed doubts about his fitness. Democrats Face the Hard Truth: It Might Be Time to Talk About Biden’s Retirement - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen PS) Even Gen. Paulus knew when it was time to quit. Battle of Stalingrad - Wikipedia
  6. Hi Ken, As stated in the other thread: Gavin Newsom at the top & Gretchen Whitmer as V-P. The hell with the primaries, circle the wagons & get a pair to defeat Trump. Amy K is very competent but not electable. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Wendy, I'll say this about Trump: He may be going the wrong way on the race track but he is going like a bat out of hell. Also, he cannot say a seven word sentence & remember where he started. It's all red meat to his supporters. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi Joe, I am no political guru, but IMO for those undecided who have concerns about Biden making it thru another four yrs; well, he made their minds up for them. I'm two yrs older than Joe & I could have out-performed him by a couple of lengths. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Ken, While it is commentary, I watched the NBCNews wrap-up. Kristen Welker, who is the hostess of MEET THE PRESS, was reading from some notes of hers about various members of the DNC cringing & openly discussing moving to a different nominee. * I fully expect to see Joe call it quits after the 4th. I'll submit Gavin Newsom & Gretchen Whitmer for my choice going forward. I do not want see a contest thru the primaries & right up to the DNC convention. IMO the smart move it to pick a two-some soon & get them out there taking on Trump. Jerry Baumchen * This was just as the debate ended.
  10. Hi Nigel, I think Jill needs to have a serious sit-down & discussion tonite. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi folks, This just in: Former Uvalde, Texas, school police chief indicted over deadly shooting (msn.com) IMO I support this. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi folks, Some just posted this in another thread: The simpler the better Over the yrs I have often thought about this. There is also the KISS principle. And, the more complex, the greater the potential for failure. This brings me to my thoughts on the simplest setup: - The rig would use a semi-exposed pilot chute [ Jav, Wings ] to reduce the flaps to push away - The reserve canopy would be a 26 ft Navy Conical with no diaper - less things to go wrong & a very strong canopy I know that few of you would agree; so, let's hear your thoughts. This might be fun, Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi neighbor, Look here: Velocity Skydiving Equipment | Infinity Rigs and Skydiving Gear (velocityrigs.com) Jerry Baumchen PS) VSE is now located in Sisters, OR; you could easily just take a day & visit Kelly. Call ahead to make sure he will be there & that they will be open. A couple of hours there & you should learn a lot.
  14. Hi 442, Watch here: RAX Demo (youtube.com) Or, the videos on the VSE website. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Keith, I have beat you to that. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Bill, Other than the die-hards & zealots, the GOP knows that they have a loser; even if he should win in Nov. They're just setting themselves up for what they know could easily happen. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi folks, Just when you thought national elections were strange, along comes this in Oregon: Oregon’s so-called “Sore Loser” law This is one I did not know of: Coin flip to determine Republican nominee in Oregon House district - OPB Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Robert, Ken, I'll take Ranked Voting for $1,000. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi Ken, Re: It is not their job to take a bullet for you or your grandchildren. Quite often, as I listen to someone speak on an issue, I often think of the old adage: It is all good until it is your ox that is getting gored. You just might want that LEO to take that bullet if it were your grandchild. I know I would. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Bill, Anyone, and I mean anyone, who thinks Trump cares about anyone other than himself is a total fool. Barnum was right. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Keith, Re: the pussies at Uvalde didn't respond in time. They could have saved many and I don't care what they said . . . they fucking stood there and listened while children died. I know that you served in the military, as I did. When I took the oath, to enlist, there was a part that said something about ' be willing to give my life in defense of my country.' I hesitated before I said that part. However, I never forgot it all the time I was in. We both know, that in a military action, sometimes good people have to die for the survival of the rest of us. I consider being a LEO the same thing. When you take that job, you must accept that you might die in the line of duty. As you said, the pussies at Uvalde failed everyone. End of rant, Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Ken, And, maybe cops who are not afraid. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi Joe, Re: The sad truth is that average voters, as a whole, ain't too sharp As I have said for yrs: The average American voter is uninformed and prefers to stay that way. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO Joe Biden is too nice of a guy to go for Trump's throat. Even though I think this is what he should do. I hope his preppers are training him on how to get under Trump's skin. It is so easy to do, you just need to know how.
  24. Hi Keith, I think that this sums it up nicely, from your link: I am a conservative Republican, but I cannot stand the lying, the cheating, the illegal activities that Trump has perpetuated. We need a LOT more of these. Jerry Baumchen
