Getting Pink Lung from all the Foam Dust

crankyoldmanSo, I've been in the build lab a fuck ton. I'm awake now because I had some caffeine in order to have the focus to not fuck shit up. So let's go over some shenanigans.
- We have a Flight Readiness Review at 2:30pm tomorrow (or rather today, whatever THURSDAY). While we have the wing constructed (BADASS), and the tail and the booms almost attached, we still haven't stuck the fuselage on or put any of the coverings on. So... we're meeting at 9am to hopefully do this.
- I cannot freaking sleep.
- When we are all a little punchy in the lab, hilarious shit goes down. And Fearless Leader has a camera he keeps around for us to document stuff. I naturally took a lot of pictures.
- Hopefully I will have some of these, in which to show you shenanigans.
- I am seriously over the smell of burning foam from the hot wire cutter. SO over it.
- I like sharp things. A lot. Today was the first time I stabbed myself though. Some of my blood literally went into this plane!
- Our plane is the lightest built one, coming it at 4 lbs. This fucking plane has a 10. Foot. Wing. Span. I think this makes us fucking awesome. For comparison, a group with a shorter wingspan came in at 8 lbs.
- So far we have superhero nicknames for three of the guys: Hulk (he is a large Korean guy, and got this because he Hulk smashed a hugeass sheet of foam), Superman (because he's got it all together, dude), and Wolverine ("I carved it out WITH MY CLAWS. LIKE COCONUT FLESH").
- Someone in another group did something very suspicious with a banana. He is also French.
- My love of sharp things has started some very strange discussions about kinkiness.
- Everything in engineering comes down to porn. Know this.
