Thursday Week 9

Long day at the office today, mainly caused by many a Boeing paperwork mess up and me having to run round like a headless chicken to persuade them I didn't need to borescope half the engine. Ironically, if we had the borescope resource today, it would have been much quicker to do the inspection.

We also had great fun watching the mechs trying to rotate an engine stand bracket through 180 degrees. Unfortunately, because of the gearing, doing it by hand takes over a day. Even using a drill on the gearing takes over an hour. Silly really, though it isn't as impressive as the 777 turning tool I saw a few weeks ago.

Day off tomorrow as Mum and I are off to Victoria to meet some relatives; mum's second cousins. Though she's just worked out that one is 76 and one is 78. Could prove interesting.
