Expectation were high for big rib test.

Suggest adding the missing article of speech:

Expectation were high for the big rib test.

Suggest change to read:

What was that all about?

-

A three foot section of the rib was completely shredded, we were done for the night.

Suggest change to:

A three foot section of the rib was completely shredded, so we were done for the night.
-

The next day, Saturday we put the beam through it’s paces.

Suggest change [color=#FF04000]it's[/color] to its

-

The next day out of shear frustration we cleared the day and decided to fix this problem.

Suggest change [color=#FF04000]shear[/color] to sheer

-

The result was light ribbon loop around the beam, bit NOT attached in anyway to the beam. Ribbon banding, or ribs on the rib.

Suggest change to:

The result was light ribbon loops around the beam, but NOT attached in anyway to the beam; ribbon banding, or ribs on the rib.

Man-made CO2 is 3.2% of all CO2. 0.0342 * 0.032 = 0.1% So, if all the planet went 100% nuclear + solar power _tomorrow_, greenhousing drops by 1/10 of one percent. Should CO2 shedding stop 100%, another greenhouse gas would replace it; dihydrogen monoxide, which we cannot control (it absorbs 20X more IR in the same spectrum).

They also serve who only sit and blue-pencil... I hope.
