Brief Description:  Fuselage Fwd Lower Longeron Installation

Installed the lower longeron this morning. No major suprises or issues to report. I did forget to dimple the most aft hole on the right side of the F822 skin where the longeron attaches for some reason. Luckily I noticed it before I riveted anything together. I ended up drilling out one of the flush rivets near the gear weldment in an attempt to squeeze it in a tight location. I switch to bucking the flush rivets in that area (4 per side) with no further issues.
