Today's title is supposed to be a little bit of dry humor because I was being too hard on myself the other day for making some mistakes. I lost sight of the big picture that this is supposed to be fun and relaxing. If a mistake happens, build the thing again and move on, just enjoy the process!
Tonight I got home and went right to work after dinner. I went out to the garage and pulled the came phaser solenoid out of the truck to check if it was clogged because it has developed a misfire. Unfortunately this was not the case so it looks like it will be going back to the shop again. I spent some time discussing the issue with my mechanic, put my tools away, grabbed some more tools, and went inside to replace the hose connecting the valve to the refrigerator. I found out that the hose was not replaceable and that the valve was pressed onto the end of the copper pipe. So off to Home Depot I went. Of course you can't go to The Home Depot and get only the thing you went for in the first place. Not wanting to break tradition, I picked up two packages of staples and some pop too. I got home and finished the project. I am going to lay awake tonight wondering if the fittings are leaking or not just because I'm neurotic like that.
I figured after all of that adventure in one night that I deserved to reward myself with some plane building activities. I went down to my office and set to work putting the second coat of spar varnish on the parts that I had coated last night. Then I cut the blank out of 1/4" plywood so I can machine the seat bottom at work tomorrow. The pictures probably look real similar to last night's pictures but I assure you that they are different.
