I agree with Spark68, keep track of the cigar consumption, I just don't want to know how much that adding to the build cost.

I save the beer until after the day's work is done. I seem to appreciate it more that way.

Default lawyers

If for any reason someone has a opportunity to sue you for something associated with the airplane you just made the lawyer's job so much easier.

Default Bad Idea

Have to agree with Paul Mosher on this one. Everyone on this forum understands the nature of your post and the issues involved, and would not draw any adverse inferences from your post or from such logbook data.

But a lawyer looking to extract money from your your family will manipulate and distort what was meant to be a humorous, casual logbook practice and present it as damning evidence that you were a drunkard during construction and probably in flight as well. LESS IS MORE when it comes to (not) preserving this kind of information .

I offer this as a builder of an RV who drank a few beers during that 9 year process, some of those during construction time, and as a civil litigation attorney who does defense work and has seen first hand what a plaintiff lawyer will try to do to fabricate a transfer of wealth from you to his/her client, with 33% being diverted to the lawyer's pocket along the way.

I still have exactly this calculator that got me through Purdue Mechanical Engineering school over 25 years ago. I still use it at the hangar if needed on my RV-10 build. RPN logic is the only way to go when calculating through a complicated formula. I love my HP and was surprised to see someone else has the same good taste in calculators.

The best $200 I ever spent. It has been through the wash/dry cycle at least 3 times and still works. RPN forever! ~gz

I drink a beer per rivet! Is that bad? I have my keg right next to my compressor.... One hose to my 2X gun one hose to my beer helmet.... Hope I get this thing done before my liver fails
