Default Am I crazy to be logging Alcohol Consumption?

I starting logging the beer drank during my 14 Empennage Build. Does anyone else log the amount of alcohol consumed during the build? Am I going crazy?

No, I don't think you're crazy, and...
No, I didn't log my beer consumption.

However, I do hope you mean beer consumed AFTER you had put the tools down for good each day.

Not crazy... totally unnecessary but not crazy. On a whim I added a "beers" variable to my Wordpress based build log. I do have a one beer limit... I'll drink ONE beer while building, but if the cap comes off a second bottle the tools get put away.

The end-of-day shop beers after nailing some critical construction step taste the best.

That is ok! My freezer at the hangar is full of popsicles too! Although, my popsicle to beer stock ratio is very lopsided.

Default When are you done?

In the very end of the plans for the Dragonfly airplane the designer asks, how do you know when you are done with the airplane? You turn the page and there is picture of the corner of the workshop piled high with empty cans. When your can pile is this big then you are done he answers.

That's what we need, more alcohol mixed with aviation. Gives us all a good name.
