Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Linda bought her last ones maybe more than a couple of years ago. "Ohio Blue Tip" is promenantly displayed on the box. They work just fine, strike on anything, just like they always did. They are also the same length they always were. My Parker match box is full of them and I keep them on the work bench by the outside barbeque area. Linda buys, or used to buy them, by the 250 box in Charlestown, WVA at the Walmart. It is right on the way to our pigeon club. Very convenient. I think they make "don't really strike anywhere" matches for some markets. I googled and read that Diamond quit making the red with white tip Ohio Blue Tips in January of 2010. Linda may have the last supply. I will check at Walmart next time I attend a pigeon shoot.

That's interesting, I just did some google work and it looks like they brought the name back out in 2012. I've never seen any of them, will have to try to locate a supply for testing.
