Hi folks, If you're going on the run, you should be smart about it: under the friend’s name and used to pay charges for food, gas, hotels, the Airbnb rental and Netflix from July 25 through Aug. 4, according to Lindsly.

Hi Sky, It reads like Trump typed it up himself. If you want to convince a judge, you should really just stick to the facts. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Without question, We need more of this. Good for Kevin. However, I am intrigued by how many members of the GOP will not switch parties but will vote Democrat in the Fall elections. To me, that is the big question. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Since I was the second person in the US to obtain the FAA approval for the testing of SAC canopies, I will offer some thoughts. 1. To do the testing, one had to develop & submit to the FAA for approval, an Alternate Means of Compliance ( or words very similar to that ). 2. While each procedure submitted could be different, almost everyone followed the same procedures. These were testing for acidity; then, if that was OK, tensile testing of the fabric, usually using some clamps and a device to measure the loads. 3. If the canopy passed all of the testing, then the approval holder could mark the canopy with some info that it was OK for further service. Security was out of business when the acid mesh problem surfaced. So you could not go to them to see what canopies were effected. The FAA issued an AD that listed the effected canopies. No one could legally do the testing & re-certification without an FAA approved procedure. If you have any additional questions, just post them; I'll try to respond if it is something that I have knowledge of. Jerry Baumchen PS) I'm an old rigger.

Hi Robert, Do NOT give him any ideas. 2024 is only two yrs away & he could campaign on that platform. The GOP of today would back him 100%. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Looks like he won't be the only one testifying: a lawyer for Jennifer Weisselberg, said the district attorney's office asked to schedule a meeting with Jennifer Weisselberg, the former daughter-in-law of Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, 'They've indicated to us that she's a key witness for the trial' Jennifer Weisselberg Set to Testify in Trump Organization Trial (businessinsider.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, I'm thinking that they are saying that just to give Weisselberg some cover. When faced with prison, it is always amazing how talkative people become. Jerry Baumchen PS) Rats leaving a sinking ship.
