Brief Description:  Finish riveting top skin

I didn't think we'd get anything done today because Derrick wasn't around and Jackie came home from work with a headache. After a few hours though she felt well enough to come and help me finish with the riveting of the top outboard wing skin. This is the first time she has really helped out with riveting and she did really well. I'm a happy bunny! I also managed to get the W-413 aileron bracket riveted together (but not to the rear spar yet), since Vans gave me the 'all clear' on the hole I accidentally countersunk yesterday. I have renewed enthusiasm now since I feel like we have hit a bit of a milestone with this wing; it is now off the jig and on the table - YAY!! :-)
