Nah. The only thing that would have stopped me from doing the double was if the body shop was open on Saturday. If that were true, I would have wanted to chat with them and see how long the repairs would take. I had the option of just heading back up to Mammoth and working from there while the car got fixed.

As it turns out, they were not open Saturday or Sunday, so there was no point in changing my plans. I operate pretty good on little sleep. I actually felt pretty strong as the day went on.

Oh, and BTW ... the weekend of misfires continues. Commuted home last night on the bike (I have no car at this point), walked into the kitchen, and got stung by a flippin bee. My left arm is swelling up pretty good right now. I'm looking almost Popeyeish.



If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
