Hi Ron, It seems to me that you should have actually learned something after you last tried that insult. Hmmmmm, Jerry Baumchen Friend of J. Scott Hamilton

Hi folks, According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should have known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost. Jerry Baumchen

Hi joe, Based upon a personal incident 12-13 yrs ago, I would caution against even this. I was driving very, very slowly through a mall parking lot when a fellow backed out of a parking spot & t-boned my pickeup. I stopped and we talked. He said that he did not want to report it to the state DMV but would have his insurance company take care of the damages. We exchanged info, his insurance company paid and all was good. Until about three months later, when I received a letter from the state DMV that my license had been suspended for failure to report an accident. I contacted them, they really only wanted to make sure that I was insured at the time. It seems as though the other guy ( for some strange reason to me ) did report it to the state DMV; and since I did not, they came calling. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Tri, And I also believe that it is the most important thing. This type of crap, going out over the internet & across back yard fences, is where people who do not want to make any effort to find the truth, get their news. Horsepuckey in it's finest form. Jerry Baumchen PS) And a tip for you for when you get there: Retirement is the best job that I have ever had.

Hi joe, I admit to being somewhat ignorant of these types of incidents. Are there many? The one that I know of, he never even drew his weapon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clackamas_Town_Center_shooting The Wiki link does say: "During that time, Nick Meli, a concealed carry permit holder, drew his Glock 22, claimed to have taken aim at Roberts, but did not fire since there was a bystander behind Roberts. Meli claims that Roberts saw him and that this may have contributed to Roberts' decision to commit suicide." I believe that this is in error. While being interviewed by the local news stations Mr. Meli said that he never did draw his weapon. I did watch a number of his various tv station interviews. I think he just s*** his pants and went looking for a bathroom once things quieted down. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a healthy young wife by the name of Dorothy. And Dot Com was a comely woman, large of breast, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?" And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)." Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent. To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew to the People (HTTP). And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. Indeed he did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drum heads and drumsticks. And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are." And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com. Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE). That is how it all began. And that's the truth. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, A man was sitting reading the paper when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan. 'What was that for?' the man asked. The wife replied, 'That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket'. The man then said 'When I was at the races last week, Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on.' The wife apologized and went on with the housework. Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit him again. Wife replied. 'Your horse phoned.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Wife: 'What are you doing?' Husband: 'Nothing.' Wife: 'Nothing...? You've been reading our marriage certificate for an hour.' Husband: 'I was looking for the expiration date.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues: Man: 'I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitch-hiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times.' Priest: 'Are you sorry for your sins?' Man: 'What sins?' Priest: 'What kind of a Catholic are you?' Man: 'I'm Jewish.' Priest: 'Why are you telling me all this?' Man: 'I'm 92 years old .... I'm telling everybody!' Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said, 'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.' The priest said, 'Confess your sins and be forgiven.' The young woman said, 'Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times.' The priest thought long and hard and then said, 'Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice.' The young woman asked, 'Will this cleanse me of my sins?' The priest said, 'No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi Terry, Call these guys & ask for Joe: http://www.sewingmachineindustrial.net/ Joe is very knowledgeable and will help if he can. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, The guy was in a hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth. "Nurse" he mumbles "are my testicles black?" The nurse raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other. She takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them sir." The guy pulls off the oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly: "Thanks for that. It was lovely, but listen very, very carefully ... Are-my-test-results-back?" Jerry Baumchen

Hi Tri, I believe that there is an error in Source 1. It says: "Prior to 1984, neither federal civil service workers nor Members of Congress paid taxes to Social Security, nor were they eligible for Social Security benefits. Members of Congress and other federal employees were instead covered by a separate pension plan called the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)." According to a discussion I had with a member of US Senator Mark Hatfield's staff back around '78-'79, members of the congress could opt for the CSRS system or the Social Security System but not both. Normal fed employees were not able to choose; and could not pay into Social Security additionally if they wanted to. Jerry Baumchen 30-yrs on CSRS - Now happily collecting the goodies

Hi jerolim, And here is a photo of a flap turned with the split needle system. Deyan: Do you still have those photos of how to turn a corner with a split needle system? If so, how about posting them on here? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Oh, I'm very sure that you can. I like this part: "Some of their parents saw the homework as an attempt to convert their children to Islam." Reminds of my ex-wife, who taught 2nd grade. There was going to be some very simple/preliminary teaching on sex ed. A couple of parents called in & demanded that they stop this sex demonstration; they thought that the school was going to have an in-class go at it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi jerolim, I Googled 'split needle system' and found this. Jerry Baumchen PS) Contact the link in my previous post if you want to buy this type of system. Walt Green, who posts on here, has a Juki with this conversion.

Hi bill, In 1964, after 27 jumps on 1.1's, I got my first & only PC. So there, Jerry Baumchen

Hi mathrick, At the end of the day, this is what counts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being incorrect. When you find out that you were incorrect and learn from that, then everyone learns along with you. That's the important part. Jerry Baumchen PS) I've been wrong on here more than once.

Hi Terry, When I am using the maximum breaking strength I mean a value that it will never go above. When I was still working as an engineer, we had some breakaway bolts on some very specific equipment. The head was built/machined with a smaller section where it would break at a ~ predetermined torque. That's as close as I have ever come to a 'max strength' item. Jerry Baumchen PS) I did a test last year with Type 8 webbing. The stitching broke at 5,400 lbs. Type 8 is rated at 3,600 lbs min.

Hi Ray, If you might want to add the split needle feature, these guys can help you; just ask for Joe: http://www.sewingmachineindustrial.net/ Jerry Baumchen

Hi mathrick, You should understand that almost every cording, tape, webbing utilizes a minimum breaking strength. I am very sure that your 80 lb cord will go much higher than the minimum 80 lbs as rated. There might be some products out there with a maximum breaking strength, but I have yet to find one. Jerry Baumchen

Hi wally, See ryoder's post. But, for the most part, they are sagebrush that has dried out & broken off. To BV: I experienced the same type of tumbleweed storm on I-84 in eastern Oregon about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Jerry Baumchen PS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UiSMyyj-Ac

Hi turtle, They are apples & oranges; neither is like the other. So why do you keep posting this type of horsepuckey. It does nothing to further the discussion(s)? Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, When I was young I decided I wanted to be a doctor, so I took the entrance exam to go to Medical School. One of the questions asked was to rearrange the letters*PNEIS*into the name of an important human body part which is most useful when erect. Those who answered spine are doctors today. The rest of you are sending this on to your friends. Jerry Baumchen
