May 03, 2021     Final edge sanding; frame marking; first drilling - (6.2 hours)       Category: Canopy
1. Marked contact line on taped canopy frame with a Sharpie. Drew drill location markings every ~2" along this line.
2. Finished sanding all bottom canopy edges with 400-grit and 1000-grit sandpaper.
3. Mounted and clamped the canopy back on the frame with Jim's help.
4. Drilled and clecoed 38 attach holes through the canopy into the frame, making sure the holes were 90 degrees to the canopy surface. (One hole near the back got oblong as the drill bit tried to slip off the frame tube. I will ignore this hole and drill another one next to it. No one will ever know, except me and you.)
