Stjohn's RV-7

.5 hours
Another foray into visual effects gave me a nice present of 8 weeks of 7-day workweeks on Spider Man 3, something I was promised we would never have. No family-friendly terms come to mind for what I feel like about that. None at all. But before that it was 10-12 hour days, six days a week, since about October, and several weekends were spent landscaping the yard. Shelley’s on hell time too, working on Pirates of the Caribbean 3 at Digital Domain, so there were a lot of grumpy, sit-and-watch-tv, or go-right-to-bed-after-work days. She’s still doing it, but I’m done. This might turn out to be one of those 10-year quickbuild RV’s.
Saturday, after finally cleaning up the garage a little and getting all the landscape materials and tools out of the way of my workspace, I fitted the nice new 4″ yoke on the squeezer and dimpled the right elevator skin. Although this took only five minutes or so, I spent a good amount of time staring at all the parts, trying to remember what goes where, where I was when I last downed tools, what I didn’t have that I needed, what I have now that I didn’t then, and just generally got my space back. It was at that point that I realized, I don’t have a 1-car garage. I have about half a 1-car garage. The other half is laundry machinery, hot water plumbing, and various garden-care implements.
