Brief Description:  Brake fluid charge, bulkhead bolts

I borrowed a brake fluid pump and charged the brake system with fluid. As is always the case when I deal with brake fluid, I end up feeling like I am swimming in the stuff. One fitting at the parking brake was not completely tightened and leaked as soon as I did a check. Mopped that mess up, tightened the fitting, refilled the line and both brakes now have good solid pressure.

I preparation for wing attach, which had to be delayed today because the weather was too bad to move the Decathlon outside, I found several bolts that I needed to install in the foreward main bulkhead. These would have been more easily installed earlier in the process but were not called out in the bulkhead plans.
