Right Elevator Assembly

I'm still attempting to get to bed at a reasonable hour, so only had a few minutes to work tonight.  I'm trying to do something on the plane on most days though, even if it's just 30 minutes. Tonight I just squeezed a few rivets to attach the reinforcement plates and nut plates to the right elevator spar.  There is something immensely satisfying about squeezing rivets - watching the rivets squish down to a consistent size time after time.  The larger diameter rivets usually give off a little puff of what looks like smoke too, just to finish the show.  I don't know if it's actually smoke or what it is, but I love the process.
