Hi Robert, Maybe it is like one's first love, you never really forget her. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, And, here is the best part: A panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously The Donald is spending a whole lot of money on attorneys & getting zilch for it, * Jerry Baumchen * This is if he actually pays them.

Hi folks, Rather than continue with the Jan 6 investigation, McCarthy wants to investigate the Jan 6 panel. McCarthy indicates Republicans plan to investigate Jan. 6 panel | The Hill Let's kill the messenger. Gets crazier every day. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Time to break out the popcorn & enjoy the show. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I'll take Door #2. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Looks like the world is going to hell. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Re: WW2 would have been over in a month IMO 'would haves' are pipe dreams. It did not end 'in a month.' I still say Neville Chamberlain tried that; did not work so good. We will have to disagree. I wish his efforts had succeeded. Not much of a chance considering who he was dealing with. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, Once again, a well thought out post. I don't agree with all of it, but overall, I could easily live with every bit of it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Time for the 'new' guard to take their places: In historic vote, Democrats pick Jeffries to replace Pelosi as party leader | The Hill 'Hakeem' eh? That should get some MAGA heads exploding. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, Neville Chamberlain tried that; did not work so good. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Sky, I think this is more correct: Most common stereotypes of some Americans: I am some of those things, not nearly all. How many fit you? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Stumpy, To me, the defines everything he posts on here. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Re: If gun laws are passed that don't disarm criminals then the disarmed law-abiding population will be at greater risk, In my entire 82 yrs of living on this earth of ours, I have never carried a gun with me. * I have never considered myself 'at greater risk.' Jerry Baumchen * When I was 13 yrs old, I bought a used 22 cal bolt action, Remington single shot rifle. I did carry it in my folk's car & then my car when I got one in 1956.

Hi Chris, It has been over 4 yrs since I sold everything. I had a Bernina 217 with the rear-mounted cam box. Also, had a number of cams. I only used the cam for the 308 stitch pattern; commonly known as a double-throw zig-zag. If I remember correctly, you do not need a cam for a simple zig-zag stitch pattern as that is a selection on the machine. As I said, over 4 yrs, so I might be incorrect. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, IMO one 'sacrifice' is too many: Over 1 million people in US have been killed by firearms over past 30 years, data show | The Hill 1 mil, now we are talking numbers. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rich, I could not agree with you more. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, While not a disavowement, they are not all as you would suggest: GOP, Trump’s potential 2024 rivals criticize Nick Fuentes dinner | The Hill IMO there are still some very good people in the GOP. Few, but some. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, I think The Three Stooges is a better title. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Well, here's one reaction: He also claimed to have asked Donald Trump to be his running mate. Kanye West announces 2024 presidential bid - BBC News And, you thought Herschel Walker was nutz. Jerry Baumchen

Hi mister, IMO no more obscene than the Twinkie Defense: Twinkie defense - Wikipedia Harvey Milk - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I consider myself a fiscal conservative & a social liberal.* I am quite sure most on here would consider me a liberal only. Jerry Baumchen * Striking the balance is the difficult part.

Hi tim, Re: Stop being nice to bad people. I do not consider life in prison with no chance of parole as being a 'nice' thing. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, I have never said anything about equipment used in a country other than the USA; or certificated in a country other than the USA. That is a totally different subject, that I have little knowledge of. IMO too many countries, too many rules, reg, etc. Re: the North American market has decided that 20 plus year old parachutes are devalued below zero. About 5-6 yrs ago, I was contacted by a major DZO asking me if I had any 26 ft Lo-Po's that I might sell to him. I told him that I had two, they were quite old but that I felt that they were in excellent condition. I gave him a price for both of them. We agreed to: - the pricing - I would send them [ at my cost ] to a major rigger, of his choice, for inspection - if that rigger determined that they were airworthy, then the DZO would pay me for them - if that rigger determined that the DZO should not buy them, I would pay the shipping back to me - that rigger inspected them, installed them into PEP rigs & I got paid for them To the best of my knowledge, those two canopies are still in service. I have never known of any item certificated in the USA that has a life-limit to it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, While not 100%, it does seem as though a number of Trump-backed MAGA-types did not do so good: Murkowski defeats Trump-backed challenger in Alaska Senate race | The Hill Peltola defeats Palin in Alaska House race | The Hill Peltola defeats Palin in Alaska House race | The Hill Letter: Kent shows he’s a loser - The Columbian And, the interesting part is where so many of them refuse to concede. Hmmm, I wonder who started that trend? Jerry Baumchen PS) Oh, the winning.

Hi 13, Re: your scenario had a rigger marking on the canopy OK, show me where I did that. Jerry Baumchen
