I'm staying here in Eugene for another week because there is work I can do to move the project forward.  I had expected that Saturday would be a day off, but Wally called and asked me if I wanted to work.  So I spent the day working on the fiberglass parts.

As I mentioned in a previous post, fiberglass work is very messy and makes you itch a lot.  The mess is all the dust that's generated in the sanding.  This dust is fine like baby powder, but made up of kabillions of teenie weenie fiberglass shards are very irritating to the skin.  I'm told that a preventative is to rub baby powder on your skin before you begin, but I haven't tried it.  The fiberglass dust stays on and in your clothes and gets deposited on everything you touch.  I tried shaking my clothing out and lots of the terrible dust was liberated, but there was still plenty that stayed with me.  It's now in my truck and on the hotel bedspread.

The foam for the seats arrived yesterday.  Friday Bob and I met with the folks that will be doing our interior; seat covers, carpet, cabin liner.  They came prepared with samples and lots of ideas on how it should be.  They seem very accommodating about giving us what we want.  They have done airplanes before, so they have a track record and come recommended.

Pro-seal is a two part material that is used to create a seal.  It is the, I think, the stickiest, most persistent thing I've had the misfortune to touch.  I happened to get a little on my hand and didn't get it cleaned off quick enough.  I may have to wait for the resurrection to get rid of it.

Today will be devoted to washing clothes and writing for my Autobiographical Writing class.  I have much to do and a short time to get it done.  When I signed up for this, I assumed I would have access to the internet, but that has not been the case.  I'm looking forward to finishing the plane and the Summer quarter.  Unfortunately, I'm missing out on what looks like the nicest Summer in a long time.
