Dan Valid points, but why aren't you posting about your Citabria project? My favorite little fun airplane! It's part of my job, but things like fabric and painting-- especially painting--tend to spill over into all hours. Paint. Wait for it to dry. Paint. Wait. Wet-sand. Paint. Wet-sand some more. Paint. Wait. Paint. Wait. You get the idea. It doesn't fit at all well into the eight-hour day, and I get little done unless I go down at odd hours and shoot another coat so it'll dry and I can shoot more than one a day. These jobs can take forever, and it's why there are few tube-and-rag airplanes still being built. I work at the airport, and the paint shop is off-airport, so I'm forever driving back and forth. The paint shop is a couple blocks away from home, the airport 2 1/2 miles away. If it ever quits snowing here I'll be cycling to work and trying to wear off the winter fat. The days are getting longer, with the sun coming up pretty early at this latitude. And then I can cycle to work at 6 AM through the nice spring fields in the cool of the day and clear skies and morning sunshine and hear the birds and see the deer and go flying in my own airplane before work. Then I work on airplanes all day, fly them some, teach a class. I can hear the groans from the guys who drive an hour to work through the smog and noise and road rage and get to sit in a stuffy office all day and put up with office politics. They'd love to trade places. I'd love to have their paycheck. Life is so often a bunch of tradeoffs. Dan |
