Brief Description:  Rivet bottom skin F-842-1

Good to get back into the shop for some more work on the airplane. It was a great season of college baseball - that ended a few weeks too early - but very proud of those guys. I will warn you that this time next year will be tough.

I had to schedule time with my "#1" because I needed her to hold the bucking bar on the outside while I riveted from the inside. It's been a while since I riveted, and I did have a few mess ups, but we got most of them drilled out and replaced. I have two more that are already drilled out and just need to be replaced. We didn't work fast, as it took a bit to get our rhythm, but then we got going pretty well. The time flew by for me, but I am sure it felt a little longer for Teresa to feel comfortable as she is still in the early stages of rivet experience and thinks she will "hurt" something. That's understandable - and I appreciate her desire to do it right!
