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 Phil, Next up; Trump won in 2020. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Slim, Ironically, that is what most of us are doing in regard to your posts. Jerry Baumchen PS) Now, back to what Obama did in 2001 . . .

Hi Robert, From your link: Steven Goddard is known for a 2008 article in The Register where he posited that Arctic Sea ice is not receding 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.

Hi Stumpy, This saying has been around much longer than I have: Politics makes strange bedfellows. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Nor, a more deserving guy. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Q, Take them to your closest dz & leave them there for other people to read. Check with the DZO first, Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I wonder just what is there that the GOP does not want the public to see: Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are asking the DOJ to give the committee, but not necessarily the public, information regarding the affidavit used to justify the search.

Hi Joe, Today, that is how the GOP rolls. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, IMO those are the only things important in his world. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jim, And, sometimes, if the stars all line up, you get asked to work on developing some new gear. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I think they are trying to come up with a better term than, 'I misspoke,' since they have been saying that anyone who takes the fifth must be hiding something. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, The best part of that video is where she says, 'There is no one you can trust.' Tough to be in that situation. Even Hitler had cronies who stuck by him until the very end. Jerry Baumchen

Hi 13, Re: i bought a used canopy Was it a certificated reserve canopy? If not, what was it. Re: couldn't jump it as a reserve Who said? IMO before your post makes any sense, you need to provide some details. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Sky, FBI searches Mar-a-Lago estate, Donald Trump says - oregonlive.com And, this from Trump: Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. Well, there has never been a more worthless POS in the White House before. First time for everything. Jerry Baumchen
