    Finished the Breeze engine compartment battery box installation. Had to break out the HF pneumo rivet gun to install those SS rivets. I didn't have enough lead in my pencil to do those manually.

    Ran the front brake lines. The NiCop line is pretty easy to use overall, but getting it straight seems to be a challenge for me. My engineering and QA tendencies were definitely triggered, but I had to get past that.

    Moved on to running the rear brake line. Made several minor errors that eventually caused me to realize I needed to "rip" all that out and start over, but I learned a lot. That was another humbling experience in this long series of humbling experiences.

    I did get some help which may have distracted me.
