Hopefully it will. But by Sunday morning when I drop her at the airport I will have to resist popping open the door and shoving... :lol:

Because 8 supersets of Tabata HIIT intervals with 4 of those supersets (of 8 sets each) being burpees is fun... doing 5-6 burpees in 20 seconds is hard. Somewhere between 160-180 burpees in all (going too fast to count them LOL). I don't even remember what other stuff I did. It's a blur.

Now I need a beer, so I can have more relaxing burpees.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain

Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?

...I spent 4 1/2 hours yesterday putting a new engine in my lawn tractor as well as replacing the clutch cable and all the belts!
Saved me over $700 according to the Sears man that wanted $225 an hour to replace the engine, that took me about 2 1/2 hours
to do with no experience, and less than state of the art tools, that he would have used! :D

Wish I had some! Soon guys, sooonnn! :muahaha:

....I got up at 4:15 this morning to meet my neighbor and go turkey hunting. He was a no-show, so I woke up that early for nothing.

I hope you called his house a zillion times to tell him what a weiner he was for not meeting you.
No beer for him today!

TT, for the engine swap I'm half tempted to send you some homebrew.
In coming weeks I'll be rebuilding the head (toilet) on the boat. It's the most dreaded job in the marine world. I'm going to need rum for that.
