That test was done last summer using a standalone wing box. The test this past weekend was on one of the complete static airframes.

Why does super glue/krazy glue not stick to itself in the bottle?

Howdy! Got my arse whipped in 3 games of racquetball this morning! In my defense, I HAVE been working in my yard planting trees, hauling mulch, replanting shrubs and other various hard labor for about 8hours a day for the last three days!

Dasterdly dog, crappy canine, etc! :mad:

Hee hee hee! a dog in the hand is worth a load of cr@p in the bush???

Very nice, I see what they agent did to allow my F class seat yesterday, she broke up the direct flight 'to houston via newark' into two segments to allow me to pick my seat, and it is showing as two real segments now. AGENT WIN!!! (therefore getting some 1200ish more miles + 125% bonus etc)

Just got out of a four hour meeting with client, whose response to the roll out schedule that I put together was basically - Hey this looks great, appreciate the effort, now here's a list of promises we made to various branch managers and regional VPs, so take a look at that and get back to us with a final schedule tomorrow. Would have been nice if they provided this info BEFORE I spent 9 hours working on this last week. :mad::mad:

Don't you just love all those little details that they fail to tell you??? Then they wonder why the project starts off on the wrong foot. :rolleyes:

I had a similar thought when I was sanding my car's headlamps over the weekend - I decided to polish them and then coated them with the duPont Teflon spray (which was in the kitchen for some reason :confused:).
