Ok,
I let the logging get a little bit out of hand… I'm writing this
a couple weeks after the fact… time to get at least a little
(more) caught up!

Skysports Capacitive Fuel Senders: I
was too lazy to test the fuel sender after I bent it the previous night
so that was the first thing we did this day. I hooked it all back
up and had Angela hold the tube with the fuel in it. This was her
first time seeing the sender in action so I played around with it a bit
and showed her how the voltage changes with the length of the tube
immersed in fuel... she thought it was pretty cool! Oh, I did
too! After this we hung the sender up to dry, cleaned up and
moved on.

Fuel Return Fittings:
I knew I wasn't going to get very far this day so my goal was
simply to get to the point I was ready to mix up my next batch of
proseal. The only thing left was to cut my anti-rotation plates
for the fuel return fitting nut. I cut these out a while back but
left the final shape unfinished so I could get it oriented correctly
once the nut was actually torqued. This probably wasn't necessary
because the torque range for these nuts is pretty wide. Anyway...
after torquing the nut, I slipped the plate over in the best
orientation and then trimmed away at it until the shape fit...

After
that I drilled two holes for attaching rivets, deburred everything,
etched the plate, alodined it, and then hung it up to dry. Done
for the night.
