Wipe your

Canopy! Finished doing the contouring of the micro on the canopy interior today. It took quite a bit longer than I anticipated due to sanding around all of the latch and hinge areas. Oh and taping everything off. In addition I had a visit from Jon and his mother, Peggy. He hadn’t seen the airplane sinceContinue reading “Wipe your”

Sitting on the job

Today stared with cleaning up the fuselage and vacuuming up all of the dust as well as cleaning off the canopy. The canopy had quite a bit of dust on it form all the sanding going on. All of this was in preparation for Sean, of Top Stitch Upholstery, to come over to work onContinue reading “Sitting on the job”

Wake Up Call

Those of you who know me know that I am not really a morning person. The different time zones I work in, plus the fact that I rarely can go to bed before midnight are not conducive to early mornings. The hustle and bustle of this week also compounded the desire to sleep in.  IContinue reading “Wake Up Call”

Learning has occurred

I learned from last nights mistakes and didn’t push it today. I had time constraints, so I decided I wasn’t going to push an end of day priming session, and either screw it up or be late. Good news is, Jon and Greg were able to come over to help today, so we still got aContinue reading “Learning has occurred”

One of the foods there is the Elephant Ear.Continue reading “A Bite of the Elephant…. Ear”

Dudley’s Rant

For those of you who don’t know yet, Dudley is our Boston Terrier and sort of a mascot in the Garaggio. He had something to say about yesterday’s work session. Sorry the post is a day late, but his typing skills leave a bit to be desired. You know, I live a pretty tough life.Continue reading “Dudley’s Rant”

Finally, the Garaggio delivers its first part

The big news from the Garaggio for today is we delivered our first ‘OPP’ part. I promised Vic that I would have Deb’s hot tub part done  by the time we had our brew session today. So I prioritized working on that piece. After all, I have only had it laying on the bench forContinue reading “Finally, the Garaggio delivers its first part”
