| Well, the spray gun came today and I was a little shocked. I was looking
all over it to find the air hose attachment. I mean, literally looking for
about 5 minutes. I'm thinking "Did they forget? Maybe that's why it
only costs $8". I looked at the instruction manual which was printed
so poorly that I couldn't even tell if it was in English or not. They did
have a diagram of how to hook it up. The trouble was, They had it hooked
up to the SHOP VAC! That's right, this spray gun is a vacuum cleaner
attachment! |

| Now, does this look dorky or what. I can't believe that this works. If I
had more time I would test it out but as it is, the Technical Counselor is
coming over at 7:00 and I wanted to clean things up a little before he
gets here. |

| Tom Zelie came over and looked over the project so far. He seemed pretty
satisfied with what I was doing. He gave me some hints about deburring and
what tools I should get. (more tools) He filled out an EAA Technical
Counselor Visit Report that gets filed with the EAA. It basically gives my
name, what plane I'm working on, the N Number and I sign it. Tom says that
it can make getting insurance easier. It's nice to have someone with as
much experience so close by. Tom offered to help if I ever need it (which
I'm sure I will) |

| I got an email from Jim Diehl who lives in PA roughly 150 miles from me.
He is also building an RV-7A. He sent me this picture of IPT airport in Williamsport.
This will give you an idea of the kind of weather we've been having here
in the northeast. I'm not sure what caused all of this flooding. Jim said
that it happened last Sunday but I forgot which one of the many storms
would have been responsible. I think Floyd was longer ago than that. Jim
says that the FBO wasn't flooded but it was close. |

| Here you go, proof that Liz is helping me with this plane. This isn't
the first picture that I've taken of her helping, but it is the first one
that she would let me use. |
