As the Wing Turns (Oh the Pain the Pain)

so yesterday the dowel was installed, and it was a good job done,

today,

the new short linkage for the retract was made, and it too came out very well,

so now I needed to drill A hole, for a mounting screw for mounting the retract,

so the retract was placed on it's mount and the center of the hole was found,

to mark the drilling spot a tiny divot was formed in the wood with a pin,

next,, a drill bit was used to increase the size of the divot,

Statement 1) it was slick !!,, yes slick,, the divot in the wood was very well centered to the retract's mounting hole !!

Statement 2) it was so slick>>>> I was feeling good, yes Sr I was feeling good,

note) clue ^^^

the retract was removed for the drilling, and it was set aside,

the wing was leveled this way and that way for the drilling !!

Statement 3) oh yeeaa, it's all cool and good to go,

the hole for the screw was drilled,

the end of the world came, the **** **** **** **** drill bit wandered and the hole was drilled off center,

**** **** to much off center to used,

**** **** **** **** **** ******** *****

Statement 4) think think think think what to do,

the hole was drilled larger,

a new 2nd dowel was installed,,,,,, yes>>>>>>>>>>> again,

Statement 5) tomorrow is another day,

side note 1) I could not believe how the drill bit wandered as it did, I have seen drill bits wander before but that was years and years ago, the hole was off just too much to use, so my only real choice was to re drill again and install another dowel, besides it only took about a 1/2 hour to do so,

side note 2) why me ???

A Sarcasm Statement) I hope this **** ****** plane crashes..

I think this plane is jinx
