I love the smell of hot aluminum in the morning...

It smells like... well, it smells like hot aluminum. I really don't know how else to describe it.

I went down to one of the other Puget Sound area Boeing sites to look over some parts they're making for us today. I really enjoy hanging out in metal fabrication shops - there's just something about the machine tools, the chips, the smell, the atmosphere that makes me feel like things are being made. Real parts.

On the way we nearly rear-ended a guy who cut us off (really, what are you thinking, cutting off a 10-passenger van?).
