I was sweating getting my package from Van's today with the 2 missing spacers. They should have been here before today. I had a couple of small tasks to take care of before heading up to NY for my final tank sealing party with Matt and Ben. I deburred the fuselage attach angle and reinforcement plates on the scotchbrite wheel and then drilled them to the inboard and outboard ribs. These holes were then deburred and then it was on to the baffle. I had to debur all of the rivet holes, polish the edges on the scotchbrite wheel, and then scuff up everything that would be getting proseal. Once I had these tasks done, Daisy and I and Stevie went out to lunch at Hoss's. Wouldn't you know it, FedEx came while we were gone and they didn't leave the package. They left a note that they would be back on Tuesday since Monday was a holiday. Damn. I called FedEx and they said they would try to reach the driver to see if he would reattempt the delivery - completely up to him though. I waited and waited and waited. Meanwhile, I loaded everything in the Van, being optimistic that he would come. He finally arrived at 4:30PM. My last resort if he didn't show up was to drive to their distribution building near the airport and pick up my package in the evening and then head up to NY. All worked out well in the end. I got up to Ben's house around 10PM. Final tank sealing party tomorrow!!!!
