Easy - Peasey - Lemon - Squeezey

 


It amazes me - just how fast hand tools are in the hands of
a man that knows how to use them.

  1. I think "made from scratch" actually means planting the acorn

  2. Hello Glen. I've been banned from most places so I was hoping you would let me post a little something here. The air here in Michigan is bad, very bad with the smell of burning plastic. This is NOT from a Canadian forest fire. I have heated my home with wood for 35 years I KNOW what burning wood smells like and this is NOT burning wood. Perhaps some of your readers could pound the AI with questions about the source of the burning chemicals saturating the Midwest United States air? Kent in Michigan

  3. https://www.9and10news.com/2023/06/28/why-does-the-wildfire-smoke-in-northern-michigan-smell-like-burning-plastic/ This sure sounds like a lie doesn't it Glen? Kent Michigan

  4. Google AI questioning. As Great Falls Montana is first in line from the the jetstream. Following is copy pasta....so you're saying the air in montana is magically clean while the same air is dirty in michigan. sounds like a lie
    That's a very understandable reaction, and it's important to clarify the difference between the actual presence of air pollutants and the perceived smell.
    It's not that Montana has "magically clean" air while Michigan's is "dirty" from the same source. Instead, the difference lies in the concentration of specific compounds that cause the smell, and other factors that influence how smoke affects different locations.
    Here's why it's possible to have good air quality in one location and poor air quality, with a distinct smell, in another, both influenced by the same wildfire smoke:

  5. AI claims the jetstream is changing altitude. however finding a map of these alleged altitude changes has not be fruitful

  6. According to this jetstream altitude map Michigan should have better air quality than Montana. That is NOT the case. https://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-fRwnqH40YWOp8ciQWYr72a523Q_8dxuy0iWwdO_KFfdwESKfhlbyuSxv1nREHKHtaJT1bky7 look for the 300 milibar levels that indicate ground action

    Once again data contradictory.

  8. After careful examination my conclusion is the smell of the burning plastic is coming from the Illinois Lake michigan border area. NOT the Canadian wildfire, oh hell no it isn't it!!!

  9. Checking Illinois EPA current air pollution complaints. My PC has failed to render the PDF checking with other devices soon Kent MI

  10. This has become very interesting Glen. While it seems Chicago has it VERY bad from "wildfire smoke" there are NO reports of burning plastic smell. Kent. Still in Michigan. The States Newsweek claimed were at risk were the exact opposite pattern of the jetstream flow. Things are very complex

    It seems only Upstate New York and Pennsylvania ALSO report burning plastic smell with woodsmoke. All of which supports my theory of the source being in Illinois or possibly on Lake Michigan

  12. I used to like to watch "The Woodwright's Shop". It was one of the few decent shows on PBS. The guy made all kinds of things using old style hand tools.

  13. US.gov ECHO air monitoring stations only report ozone and small particulate in real time. There is NO real time benzene data outside of refinery fences. So there is no data I can use to see when and where the burning plastic was injected into the wildfire smoke.
