Dang it's been a couple weeks since I worked on the plane. Work has been
really busy, I've been working on EAA9 stuff, and Kerin's had me digging holes
for two new trees we bought. Anyway, tonight I got out to the shop for about
an hour and put in a few rivets. This photo shows the aft end of one of the center
floor stiffeners. The forward two rivets were easy to squeeze with the hand squeezer,
but the aft one is too far back in the corner to get a square bite on it.

After weighing my options, I decided to just have a go at it with the squeezer. Because
the squeezer wasn't straight, the shop head tipped over a bit, but the only other option was
a pop rivet and I figure this rivet is stronger than a pop rivet even though it's a little crooked.
