Writing a 6 minute speech about the fact that humans are not responsible for climate change. Amazing that Al Gore got caught in so many lies. He might be right but when you purposely lie a lot, you can't be considered credible. I hate speech class.
 
I made a nozzle for my hot glue gun so it can reach in narrow spaces. The short fat 1" nozzle that came with my new Orcon gun is a waste of good metal. Why do they make something so useless? The McGuyver in me modified it into a 2" inch nozzle with a hole just over 1/16" in diameter. It puts out a nice 1/8 to 1/4 inch bead of glue right where you want it............ I mean, where I want it. ;)
I also slapped together a small glue gun holder/tool shelf thingy that will hang off the stairs that I am finally going to end cap. With the shelf hanging one stair up from the one I'm working on, it will be quick to set the glue gun on it. The gun can't tip over because it drops into a holder of sorts. The stairs are all stretched in, and just the ends to finish.
The customer left town, but should be back tomorrow so I can go back up and finish the stairs. If they don't end up looking like crap, I might even take a picture.:D

Silly looking contraption actually works pretty good. Maybe I'll make a new version that has multiple outlets, a radio and a cup holder. :D

Someone ought to fire the person that wrote this and the people that allowed it to be printed:

If fossil-fuel burning continues at a business-as-usual rate, such that humanity exhausts the reserves over the next few centuries, CO2 will continue to rise to levels of order of 1500 ppm. The atmosphere would then not return to pre-industrial levels even tens of thousands of years into the future. This graph not only conveys the scientific measurements, but it also underscores the fact that humans have a great capacity to change the climate and planet.

I think NASA is owned by the IPCC :rolleyes:

Then the human caused sea level rise. :rolleyes: Notice the sea level has been rising at the same rate for the past 150 years? Where's McMahon's hockey stick sea level rise graph?

It took the IPCC a long time to come up with a reason the earth hasn't been warming for 15 or 20 years, with the CO2 levels increasing all the while...... :rolleyes:
They seem to like wow factor of the CO2 levels.
I find internet discussions fun to read because there is so much controversy over CO2's true value in determining whether the earth is truly warming, or simply going through normal cycles, with the past couple hundred years being a little bit off the expected mark.
With so many people questioning the severity of the issue, or whether there really is one, how come the IPCC said 20 years ago, that the results are in, (meaning man caused warming is unquestionable) and that sea levels are going to rise 3 feet in the next 100 years.
Here we are 20 years later and there is still tremendous controversy on the issue. There are way to many questions pro and con to the issue. If the earth is warming slightly, is it really a bad thing? ...or possibly a really good thing? If it is warming, can we really do anything about it? Probably not.
 
Most of the predictions have been wrong. Al Gore said the polar ice caps would be gone by 2013. He said the polar bears would die out and their population is the biggest it's been for 25 years. etc.
 
I replaced two planks - glued on CC today. Three hundred ducats. The sh?t was stuck like no tomorrow. Had to get out the demo hammer.
 
Flatten a floor for hardwood . Some deep valleys through out .

Had to use shingles -30 lb felt -15 lb felt - to rosin paper to feather it out .

There has to be something i can flash on plywood . Make life a lot easer .
 
Applied for a job at a major manufacturer online and got a call back within the hour. Interview at 10.
 
Finished caulking my kitchen back splash, did a measurement and just finished up putting in a 5 ft. gate in my chain link so I can get my rider lawnmower out of the back yard beings I got a dog. Picking up sticks the dog found and drug in, then seeing if my lawn mower will start.
Probably won't get it all done. NAP TIME!!!!

Mowed my lawn with a free to me Sears mower. Last fall, I obtained this >wouldn't start< mower from my uncle. It was at a rental home that he was cleaning up before putting it up for sale. I took all 3 mowers in various stages of disrepair to see which ones I could get started. Parts were missing, so I did some parts swapping from mower to mower to get one complete. OK, I had the donor parts on, but it wouldn't start. Carb cleaning, air filter and a new plug wouldn't do it.
Two issues. The keyway was partially sheared, witch changes the ignition timing. I fixed that, and it made not difference. Darn, I thought this was gonna be easy. :mad:
The engine has a mechanical compression release for easy starting............ Hmmmm............ I removed the head to see if there was anything major.
The exhaust valve was frozen open. I removed both valves, polished em up, and put it back together with new gaskets.
Started on second pull with Non-corn Premium fuel.
That was last fall. Today, I emptied the tiny amount of remaining fuel and refilled with new gas........................ started on first pull each time I restarted it. :D
6 laps around the yard and a front wheel fell clean off. :eek: The bolt had a fracture and was 98% rusted through with a 1/16 of an inch spot still holding on.
I salvaged a wheel bolt from one of the other mowers.
............of course the bolt hole was too small, so I drilled it to fit.
15 minute job took 45
.......story of my life, I don't get no respect, not even from a mower that I saved from the scrap yard.
