Met my goal for the week, but wish I had done better. I decided to allow myself two extra days off this week. We got in bed Wednesday at 2:30AM after a late flight from Hawaii and I decided to allow myself to take Wednesday off to recover. I felt sick on Thursday and took that day off also. I met my goal on Friday and Saturday.

Now that the instrument panel wiring is complete enough to allow testing I am continuing to clean and wrap a few things up.

I cut and applied heat shrink to about six quick connects on the fuse block that were incomplete due to previously running out of heat shrink. I pushed all the quick connects into final position on the fuse blocks, switches and diode-or diode blocks.

I checked and created labels storage for the Mouser order for D-Sub covers. I'll use these when I disassemble everything for installation into the airframe.

Continued to make notes about the assembly, remaining tasks and started new parts order from Aircraft Spruce.

Organized and tied wires going from the pilot side of the bulkhead back to the airframe. I had created rolls of single wires or groups of wires as I had cut and installed wires to each component in the airframe. I unrolled, combined wires, and tied the combined wires back to where the first wires ended. The combined bundle of wires is about 0.56 inches in diameter and should fit through one piece of conduit. The new bundle is ready to be installed in conduit.

I started the same wire organization task on the copilot side of the bulkhead.
