Brief Description:  Sealed and riveted the last rib in the left tank

I prosealed and riveted the last (inboard) rib into the left tank. Then, I riveted the tank attach angle and doubler onto the nose of the rib. Even though I had dry fit the angle and doubler to the rib many times earlier, once they were covered with proseal they became a bear to cleco together. After much grunting, they finally came together, but I had to force the rivets in before bucking them. With this last rib, I used a lot of tape (like the outboard rib) and it really helped cleanup.Late in the afternoon, I climbed Stone Mountain with two buddies from my Sunday School class. Stone Mountain is a local hill (about 850' agl) made entirely of granite. There is a confederate memorial carving in the side (reputedly larger than Mt. Rushmore) and it is possible to climb up the north side without ropes or other climbing equipment. We climbed it for some good exercise, but the sunset view of Atlanta was spectacular.
