Brief Description:  More skin prep and an old friend croaks

I continued fuselage skin prep tonight by tackling the middle left side skin. About half way through dimpling the skin, my 3/32" dimple die broke. After about 3 jillion dimples, it simply gave up the ghost and lost its little pilot point (how embarassing). Fortunately, I had another die handy and simply pressed it into service. This die was one I originally purchased from Avery at the start of the project. I later bought another die from Cleveland tools, because people said it was better. I really can't tell one die's dimples from another. In any event, the Cleveland Tools die was the one that shuffled off its little mortal coil. Hopefully, the Avery die will take me through the end of the project. I then finished the panel, except for priming. The weather was nasty out tonight, so painting was out of the question. I finished up by un-clecoing the right side aft skin and melting the blue plastic off of the rivet lines.
