  1. Hi folks, Maybe someone did not like the birthday presents: 4 dead in shooting at Alabama birthday party for 16-year-old - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Rich, A very interesting article. My money says it will backfire on them. From your link: Conservative musicians such as Kid Rock . . . Kid Rock is a musician; hmm, when did that happen? Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Bill, Re: “You got to do what’s right, even if you think it’s wrong.” A perfect descriptor of today's GOP. Hey, he ( a Republican ) said it, not me. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Ed, These guys will: Velocity Skydiving Equipment | Infinity Rigs and Skydiving Gear (velocityrigs.com) He has a software program to make any dimensional changes you might want. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi Ken, Looks to me like another one crawled out of the woodwork. Yes, he will soon make my list. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Robert, She continues to show just how stupid she is every time she opens her mouth. From your link: Greene also claimed . . . that the U.S. has troops on the ground in Ukraine . . . a small team of Marines has been deployed to the U.S. embassy in Ukraine The USA has Marines at every US Embassy there is. Yes, they are actually on the ground. Jerry Baumchen PS) I went to college with another veteran, US Marine Corps, who spent his entire 3-yr hitch at the US Embassy in Paris. Tough duty having to walk around all of the dog droppings on the sidewalks. Oh, the horror!
  7. Hi Keith, I'm thinking we are looking at it wrongly. If you consider that over half of the electorate is NOT a member of the GOP, then the odds are that most of the people getting killed are the Dems + the Independents => libs. That's a plus for the GOP. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi Keith, I was a registered Republican for over 40 yrs; it did not work. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Keith, Good luck with that; ain't going to happen. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi Mark, Or as Elmer Gantry said: 'You get more sex out of a church pew than a bar stool.' Just ask Shirley Jones. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi folks, FOX attorneys lying; tell me it isn't so: "I need people to tell me the truth," ( Judge ) Davis said as he dressed down the network's attorneys. Fox News under investigation for lying in court ahead of defamation trial : NPR Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi folks, Wow! Talk about going backward: Texas is on a crusade to kill the state’s stunning renewable energy progress - oregonlive.com Wendy, see what happened when you left? Is it the water? Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Keith, When I was kid, if you went bankrupt, it was a disgrace. Abe resigned in disgrace. Thomas says that it is OK. Times have really changed. Jerry Baumchen PS) See Post #5
  14. Hi Joe, See Post #5. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Rob, Re: Just like "you cannot sue city hall" it was almost impossible to sue the Catholic Church in Quebec. Here, in the USA, they have found bankruptcy to get out of their responsibilities to their victims. Rotten bastards, Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Rob, Good; except that you have them in reverse order. Capewell did not develop the 1 1/2 shots until well after the XBO came on the market. Prior to that a cutaway was a no-no. But, with Security's piggyback XBO, it was sort of necessary. In the mid-60's, a guy in BC was killed because he did not believe in cutaways. He jumped a XBO piggyback & just pulled the reserve when faced with a malfunction. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Ken, And, some people wonder why I want absolutely nothing to do with any religion. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Andy, There was the 'talk' about that; however, I never knew of it actually happening, like a lot of rumors back then. I'll stay with my premise that it was a cost advantage. Jerry Baumchen PS) Check your messages.
  19. Hi Rob, Only speculation; but, IMO because the 1 1/2 shots became available & the OneShots were costly to make. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi folks, Yes, Arnold made it popular: I'll be back - Wikipedia But, this guy made it happen: The unanimous vote by the Nashville Metropolitan Council took only a few minutes to restore Rep. Justin Jones to office Black lawmaker who was expelled reinstated to Tennessee seat (msn.com) How sweet it is. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi John, This, a million times, this. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Larry, You might find one or two. But, I would not count on it. They were used from '64 ( when the XBO came out ) to about '67 by Security. By '67 ( I think ), Security switched to the Capewell 1 1/2 shots, as we called them. Good luck with your search, Jerry Baumchen PS) From the original Parachute Manual:
  23. Hi Wendy, I also remember both. I do not share the argument that the errors made by both sides are equal. Deaths in both events could have been avoided if they had just not fought the authorities. Anybody who thinks that their guns are to protect themselves [ and/or their families ] from the gov't is a fool. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi John, It seems that some people do not agree with Judge K: “The federal judge in the eastern district of Washington JUST granted our request to preserve access to Mifepristone pending the outcome of our case. My team is carefully reviewing both orders right now, and we will have more to say soon,” Rosenblum ( Oregon Attorney General ) said Competing rulings by Washington, Texas judges leave fate of abortion drug unclear in the Pacific Northwest - OPB Jerry Baumchen
  25. Hi Joe, I have a good friend that I have known for 72 yrs. Back in the 60's, we were at a party & got to talking about sex, women, etc. He said, 'A stiff dick does not have a conscience.' IMO your comment on 'too much like other toys' is in the same vein. Jerry Baumchen
