    Hi Rich, The Portland Fire Bureau has never had a problem in getting recruits. Far more apply than are accepted. It is the same for my local fire dep't. Unions are the issue according to Joe Weber & I. Jerry Baumchen 5-month member of the Portland Fire Bureau - 900+ people took the test & I came out #1 - I hated that job

    Hi Robert, From your link: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a Thursday Facebook post said Russia's army had run out of steam in the Zaporizhzhia region I would caution the General Staff to stay away from building windows, also. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Now, it seems like it has been going on for quite some time: more such oops moments will emerge She wanted something good for show-and-tell, and that’s how classified documents ended up at school in 1984 - oregonlive.com As airdvr said, 'What a clusterfuck.' Yup, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, This is the problem. Take away their unions & they will be of a different mind set. IMO no city, county, state should recognize any public employee's union. * 'You want to work here, here are the terms of your employment.' Take it or leave it. Jerry Baumchen * Remember, in 1981, when the Air Traffic Controllers union thought they could make Reagan to bow to them?

    Hi Joe, They drank the KoolAid. It is like water under a bridge, you cannot move it upstream. Looks like the separation discussions really do not work. * Jerry Baumchen * Worked for me, I could not get rid of that military stuff fast enough.

    Hi Sky, What I am liking is that Kevin McCarthy & Jim Jordan, are now completely silent on this since the Pence document situation has been in the news. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi airdvr, Just so I can understand your concerns, would you quantity 'kids' so I can know just what ages you're are referring to? An 8-yr old is a LOT different than a 17-yr old. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi shade, Welcome to the club. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi shade, I have posted about this waiver a number of times. I, also, have never seen it. At the 2005 PIA Symposium, I was sitting in the coffee shop talking to one of the major players from PD. He is the one who told me that they had to get a waiver to get their Optimum canopies certificated. That's my story & I'm sticking to it. Jerry Baumchen PS) All of your other recent posts are spot on.

    Hi John, David Stockman, Reagan's economic advisor, got sent to the outhouse for even suggesting that Reagan's Trickle Down Economy would not work. Jerry Baumchen PS) I think it is moran.

    Hi hexentrics, I would still write them a Letter of Demand. Another, idea would be to 'sell' the rig to someone you know & trust in the US for about $1.00. This person, then could write the Letter of Demand. Don't give up, this is your legal property. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi falls, IMO what we did 'back in the day' is not what one should do today. Back when Security Parachute Co's Security AeroConical ( SAC ) canopy suffered from the 'Acid Mesh Problem,' Security had gone out of business and could not provide any info on what to do. Therefore, the FAA issued an AD directing riggers as to what to do should they come across any of these canopies. The AD said, among other things, to mark out the TSO markings & write on it something to the effect of 'Non-airworthy.' In today's litigious world, I would not mark up/cut up another person's property unless the FAA gave me specific instructions to do so. At the end of the day, this rig is someone's legal property. It is not the property of the mfr. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi hexentrics, Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. Something similar happened to a local jumper with a different item & a different company. I told him to write to them demanding that they return the equipment that was his legal property. He did contact them with this argument via email & his equipment was returned to him. I suggest that you write them as professional of a letter as you can [ get some help with writing it if you feel you need help ]. Send it as a Registered Letter via the US Postal Service with a signature req'd upon delivery. If that does not work, consider an attorney. Just my $0.02, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, And, it would seem some other attorneys are learning from her mistakes: Trump withdraws Florida lawsuit against New York attorney general - POLITICO But, but, the winning. NOT!!!!! Jerry Baumchen
