| No pic, but we took two of the plates and clecod them together then we drilled these six holes (where the lead will go) to 3/16". |

| Next we took the (what I call the) "spacer assembly," and drilled it to the correct location on the Plate and Rib. |

| The "correct location" is even with the rib flanges on both sides. |

| After all that was drilled out to 30's and deburred, I cleaned and primed my parts. |

| Riveted all the pieces together. Not a whole lot accomplished today. I had follow-up appts with the surgeon, and a few other iteme to take care of. Next couple days will be spent with the wife and baby... |
