Default Wasted Work Time

I spent my whole work time this morning fishing a control horn attachment out from under the fridge. I dropped it while trying to screw it on the aileron control hinge. I think there is a black hole under there. About the time I retrieved the piece my kids came woke up and my work time was up. When working over the counter I now lay a dish towel to lessen the bounce of dropped objects. Live and learn....

You need a building room. Throw out one of the kids and take over his room. It is the only sensible thing to do.

I generally find myself trying to keep the curious cat from pulling on the tag strings that my servo wires are attached to (in the wing for the ailerons). The cat seems to think that anything dangling is a toy! (oops.. haha).

How far did you throw him? Or should I say, How far did you WANT to throw him?
