  1. Hi Red, IMO we will need more info. How about some pix on the risers, etc? Also, what rig is it? Have you contacted the mfr? The canopy has nothing to do with stowing the lines. Jerry Baumchen PS) It looks similar to a French pin method of setting the brakes; but, very little info at this time.
  2. Hi Robert, And, it looks like they are moving ahead of us on another front: Mexico to elect first woman president : NPR Jerry Baumchen Oh, well; there is still Trump to consider. :-(
  3. Hi folks, Looks like things might be beginning to change, slowly but surely: a tried-and-true strategy in cases with many defendants: Portray yourself as a hapless pawn while piling blame on the apparent kingpin. Trump’s co-defendants are already starting to turn against him - POLITICO One can only hope that more of them see the light. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Wendy, For more longer than I can remember, I have been saying that the secret to the success of the US health care system is Do Not Get Sick. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi Bill, Absolute proof that he is delusional & not qualified to be POTUS. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Robert, And, at my age, I usually say: 'Do you have a senior discount?' Works sometimes. Jerry Baumchen PS) About 20 yrs ago, I was in a bookstore in Naples, FL. As I was buying a book, I asked about a senior discount. She said that they did not do that. Well, duh, it was Florida, no wonder.
  7. Hi Robert. Having worked in contract management for the federal gov't for 30 yrs, IMO approx 85% of all purchases are NOT negotiated. They are a simple low-bid system. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi Robert, Looks like nothing more than crocodile tears: In his plea for leniency to the court, Pezzola said he had given up politics, yet as he was being escorted out of the courtroom he shouted, "Trump won!" Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola gets 10 years in prison for Jan. 6 role : NPR Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Robert, With my Post #21, I am thinking he is far worse off then the GOP is telling us. Otherwise, they would cover it up; the GOP is so good at that: Watergate scandal - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO the Dems are not much better; think Feinstein.
  10. Hi Ken, Looks like the first knife has come out: Thune ready to 'support the team' amid questions on McConnell's health | SDPB I expect more to follow. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi Wendy, This is exactly how I feel. While I am pro-abortion ( I donate to NARAL every year ), I have never told someone to get an abortion. Although, there are times when I think I should have. :) I am a 'live & let live' type of person. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi Robert, Further proof that Trump lives in his own world: listing as accomplishments his hard line on China, ensuring Russia didn’t invade Ukraine on his watch and preventing North Korea’s Kim Jong Un from launching a nuclear attack. NY AG Letitia James seeks immediate verdict in fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump - oregonlive.com I'm at a loss as to why we should not re-elect him with all of these 'accomplishments.' Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Ken, Pres. Harry Truman once said, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.' How true. Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi John, These idiots should count their blessings; 200 yrs ago they would have been hanged. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi John, As would I. However, it looks like some of his cohorts are getting a little nervous: the Senate GOP also holds private lunches . . . , giving members another forum for hashing out the direction of the party’s leadership GOP senators weigh 'special' meeting on their leadership after McConnell's freeze - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi folks, If this isn't a 'Where am I' look, then I don't know what one looks like: McConnell quickly convenes with allies after second public freeze - POLITICO Time to go, Mitch. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi folks, More winning: Peter Navarro, . . . failed to prove that Trump asserted executive privilege Judge rejects Navarro’s ‘executive privilege’ claim for defying Jan. 6 committee - POLITICO If this is how Trump wins, I'm all for it. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Robert, Guliani and the others will, hopefully, one day realize the very serious mistakes that they made getting in bed with Trump. He is like a slow-acting poison. Jerry Baumchen PS) When I say 'hopefully,' I do have my doubts.
  19. Hi John, While I think he should retire because of this, he will not give up the power. IMO he will hang in there until the very end. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Mark, Just another scam to get the money. Think Franklin Graham. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Deisel, If I have learned only one thing in my 82 yrs on this Earth, it is that you NEVER lose your paperwork. If you cannot keep it in a safe & accessible location, you find someone who can do it for you. IMO your DZ is his own worst enemy. Sorry to be so harsh. Jerry Baumchen PS) And, do not think that even the FAA can keep their paperwork OK. You would be amazed how many times I had to make copies of mine so they could have their files complete.
  22. Hi folks, You might find this interesting: Portland farm makes dramatic statement with this year’s corn maze - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi Ken, No where in the FAR's does it say this. It only says that the rig has to have been I & R'd within the last 180 days. It does not say that the seal must stay intact for the rig to be legal to jump. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi 18, Then why has everything that you have posted here been an attempt to convince us? Jerry Baumchen
  25. Hi folks, I doubt that they expected this: A muddy reveal for mysterious West Point time capsule from 1820s - BBC News Jerry Baumchen
