I work a normal 9-5 everyday, but it's not uncommon for me to go to the shop 2 or 3 nights a week and work on my stuff to get it turned around for wherever I'm headed next. Usually there well passed midnight, sometimes till 1:30am or so. I'll try to remember this thread the next time I'm pulling a late one.

Hangovers are not only thing to last longer than use to, LMAO I use to do 8 to 12 hours sleep for Thursday,Friday and Saturday night combined. Drive 8 or 10 hours home Sunday eveneing. Get o[ Monday be on job before 8AM. Damn amazing how time has changed in 30 years. It must be moving faster.

Must be same extra gravataional pull that makes getting up from under car harder.

If it counts, I am jet lagged all to hell. 2 weeks in Shanghai, and now a week in San Fran before heading home. I am not working in the shop, but working nonetheless...

I did finish final assembly on my last dragster in odd hours recovering from jetlag from China and Melbourne Australia. If you dont count me wiring the crank trigger backwards, I did pretty good too!
