I know, it's been a long time since I've posted. But this weekend saw forward progress.

Jeff Morgan and I are going to trade time back and forth on each other's projects. This won't always be the most efficient use of our time, but by working together, we guarantee some sort of forward progress on both airplanes. And it means when there are two person jobs to do, we don't have to work too hard to make it happen -- we'll have each other to get through those bumpy periods.

We got together at his place last week and dimpled parts. It wasn't that demanding, and he probably could have done it alone, but it represented forward progress. I also got a chance to comment on his work. He had some things I thought he should get Tom Berge or Tim Mahoney to look at, but overall, his work appears to be very good quality. Better than mine. I'm not sure how much of that is based on the builder and how much represents improvements in the kits.

Saturday afternoon, Jeff came to my garage. In preparation for his arrival, I cleaned the garage. I didn't have enough time to clean it to my standards, but it was a lot better when I got done. Kat came out and helped, which was definitely appreciated.

We took care of the light surface corrosion on my wing skins. We then looked at the list Tom Berge gave me last summer. One of the items was, "right wing ribs need rivets." So I looked and swore a little. Jeff and I talked it over, and we took care of it. I was pretty pleased with that.

So my plan at this point is to make a complete list of everything I need to do to finish the wings. This will take some time as I try to figure out where I left off, etc.

Here's hoping for continued forward progress.
