1202 days 1931 Hours

No picture today. Kim took the camera to CA. I was gone all week on a business trip to North Carolina. Originally the plan was that Kim would leave for CA (Thanksgiving Holiday) on Friday after the kids got out of school before I even got home from NC. Well she decided to wait until Saturday. I couldn't very well come home after being gone for a week and ditch them all to go work in the garage. I didn't even think about looking in the garage until she was gone.

They all left about 1:30PM. I then set out to work in the garage. But first I wanted to load some podcasts on the ipod so I could listen while I worked. After 2 trips to the Apple store I finally figured out that I needed to order and new cable for our old ipod. I found a source online where I could get it for $3. The Apple store wanted $30. The original ipod only cost us $50. Next thing I know it is 6:30 and I had promised that I would go to the temple. I got home from the temple and started working about 10:00. 3 Hours later I had finished the inside of the forward fuselage bottom. I am sure I could have done a better job. It seemed to take a lot more glue than normal. And my overlaps were too frequent. It is supposed to be the inside which could be cover with carpet or some other covering. Once again I am questioning everything that I do, but I keep moving forward. I did find that I could load podcasts on a CD and listen to them. I listened to 2 CDs and threw them away. 5 cents a CD is pretty cheap. I would have to waste 1,000 CDs before I could have paid for an ipod. That is about 3 years of CDs which by then the ipod would be outdated or too old to work any more. It just seems like a waste of CDs I am not throwing anything away when I use the ipod.

I read online about using Mazda engines for airplanes. I am going to stick to the plans and not deviate at all. That is the advice Boyd gave me. He also told me to build a different plane. I also saw the latest version of kitplanes which had a list of home builts. There was one that had enough room for 10 people. A home built. I will be lucky to finish this one. No time to start planning the next one.
