UNMITIGATED NON-SENSE After you read this comment read what caused me to copy and print it. “Space and Earth are part of an innovation ecosystem where progress in one fuels advancement in the other,” said Steve Altemus, President and CEO of Intuitive Machines. “By continuing our partnership with Columbia Sportswear, we’re proving that commercial innovation can break [...]
heads up
HEADS UP I found out today a shipment of tan nylon that I was supposed to receive two months ago is enroute to us. Two months ago, I received and returned coated tan nylon that was shipped in error.

slumber bag
The Slumber bag...another case of Overengineering... I have been using Wiggy's bags for exactly 35 years this year.

I have left that up to the GSA contractors, but in the case of the FREEDOM SHELTER SLEEPING [FSSB]bags this newsletter is being directed at the military. I suspect much of the military reads them.

Unfortunately, the product just limped along until a retired Marine Corps [...]
