Yep, it's a little scary. Closed off the air ring and applied pressure to the ring where it's open..

Damn Commie infiltrators!
Air 'merica, nuff said!
When Alexander Bell invented the phone, he had three missed calls from Bikenstein!I think Bike has it, last I saw him he was installing new duct tape with it.
Good to see a man who knows how to treat lanyards.
Uh oh! Here comes Lynn to tell us to behave.

This but it works better if you have a 2 to 4" vice. Be sure to turn it fully closed and apply pressure in the center of the slots. Use the "go easy and test after every squeeze" not touching that one method. Duct tape on the vice jaws will prevent scarring.Yep, it's a little scary.

I have 2 other methods incuding squeezing a slot closer, but they fall into the Do not try this at Home category.
Not today Gran!! You guys are on your own!!Good to see a man who knows how to treat lanyards.

Your lunar launch fact you didn't know.
The original 7 astronauts liked to go fast on the ground too. For some reason, Jim Rathmann, winner of the 1960 Indy 500 and owner of a Chevy dealership, really dug the astronauts. So much so that he gave all original 7 their choice of cars. Almost everyone took a new Corvette. Except Mr. clean cut John Glenn, he got a station wagon. Rathmann's Chevy was in Melbourne, about 30 miles south of KSC. 2 of the Astronauts were racing their brand new Corvettes North on US1 heading back to Cannerveral when one didn't make the bend in front of my Dad's old office and flew off US1, down the river bank and into the Indian River. Astronaut ok, Corvette, not so much.
Anyway. Rathmann as most car dealers do, has his own little plaque on the trunk lid of every car he sold. Jim Rathmann Chevrolet, Melbourne, Florida.
There was also a Jim Rathmann Chevrolet trunk plate on the first lunar rover that tooled around on the moon.
No. Really.

A drop of purple Loctite perhaps? It's not permanent...
Good idea. Note the second bullet point: "Ideal for coarse threads"
That might not apply to the AFC, but it sure fits our discussions about
lanyards.

I know this story well. Look at my location.
I live in Melbourne, FL and work at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
I actually have a better story than that. And, I saw these with my own eyes so I know it's twue.
I worked at Harris Semiconductor in Palm Bay, Fl with a John Wortman. His dad a Full Colonel, had been the head of protocol at
Patrick AFB. There were pics all over their house with Col Wortman and Presidents, the Shah of Iran, etc;
Apollo 1 cost us 3 astronauts at once when they burned to death in the pure O2 atmosphere used inside the command
module at the time for mission tests. My Dad was taking classes on PAFB the night of the accident and I heard about
it on the car radio heading home with him. The astronauts were Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee.
It was winter and Col Wortman was tasked with escorting Gus Grissom's remains to Andrews AFB in Washington. Col W went
to the supply on PAFB to get a couple pair of long johns for the flight to the colder north. The supply sergeant said, Col,
this is Fla, we don't get a lot of call for long johns, and I only have one pair in your size but you can certainly have those. Col Wortman got the long johns home and when packing them, something caught his eye.

Well, if we are having story hour...Kivrin and the Kase of the Disappointing GS Air
Kivrin was devastated. She loved her GS Air so much and couldn't believe that a short time with the GS Air M would change their relationship so drastically. The M's were pure air, pure flavor, perfect draw, perfect vapor. Had things really been so different before? Why did the Airs now feel like sucking milkshake through a cocktail swizzle stick?
Then Bukket mentioned pipe cleaners! Kivrin had some of those left over from the days when she had pipes that needed cleaning. She dug them out and gave the airflow hole a good rubbing.
And....nothing. She still used the Airs. Usually first thing in the morning. Once she had a puff from an M though, there was no going back. Her daily flavor rotation was thrown into disarray. She began saving up to get more M's. Surely someone on ECF would give her Airs a loving new home.
Finally, a couple of hours ago, Kivrin was filling up tanks. The day she received the M in the mail, she also got some new drip tips. Two of the new drip tips had gone on the Airs, the Ms got the old ones. After refilling, she put one of the old tips (one that needed a dental floss fix for the Air, but fit fine in the M) on the Air by chance.
And the vape was GLORIOUS! Sing Hallelujah!
Yes, yes it does. And *whew* the new ones work fantastic on the M. Go figure. Kivrin is ecstatic to have 4 lovely, wonderful Airs at her disposal once again and feels like a complete and utter fool.
For the first week I had the M, I was using both my Airs and my M's and I was happy with all of them.
Then Thu/Fri this week I only used the M's. Last night I started vaping on one of my Airs and I was horribly disappointed.The Air was better this morning.
But I just switched back to my M about an hour ago and
And I'm still clearly doing it wrong, because I can't make either of them whistle.

If you would kindly direct your attention to the quoted material above, you will find the winning entry in this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. (“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.” — Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830))
OR was it the latest bodice ripper? "Kivrin was devastated. She loved her GS Air so much and couldn't believe that a short time with the GS Air M would change their relationship so drastically. "
The good news is the happy ending, and the absolute promise of future installments from this fine author of purple prose with serious vape interest. And the moral of the story, you ask? Why, clearly it is that a tip that has touched the lips of our author, Kivrin, is to be cherished.

Here is a picture I took last month at Launch Complex 34 where that accident took place. That is the moon seen through the launch stand that was "Abandoned In Place"
