I've gotten a total of 10 hours of sleep in the past 48.... 11pm to 7am at one job, leave straight for the other work 7:15am till 3:30pm, come home and go to bed at 4pm, sleep untill one of the kids breaks something or starts screaming, stare at the internet for an hour, eat, repeat.
you call 10 hours sleep deprivation? give depression/OCD/ADD (can't remember what one causes it. OCD i think) induced insomnia a try. i am in bed for 11 or 12 hours, but i am lucky if i get 2 or 3 hours of sleep. I would love to get a good restful 10, or even 8 hours of sleep.
I didn't say the 10 hours was continous

BTW, how is the new job going (can't remember if you have said or not)? anything interesting happen yet?
Which one? I have two.... One working security at the airport the other is a manufacturing job through a temp agency. They both suck, but it's paying the bills, sorta.

Well, i was speaking of the airport job as i wasn't aware of the manufacturing job. i can imagine how that one would suck, but i would think the airport security would have at least some interesting points, or is it more monotonous than i think.
i put in at a security agency. only required an HS diploma so i think it is lower than rent-a-cop, and i doubt it pays well and am pretty sure the hours will stink, but like you say, it would help pay bills. -- ~Travis

I just built up a set of Mavics 517's for a friend of my son's, and I'll *never* buy those for me. Ever.
Duh, everyone knows the 517 is a wannabe racer weenie rim. The Mavic 618
rules.
618? Huh - not even on the map! D521 - that's where ya wanna be looking. I mean, If I can't bust or even bend one when I weigh 155(ish) lbs, then they gotta be tough.

I've had them trued by three of the four lbs' that I trust over the past year or so. Either they all suck (one shop does suck, the wheel disintegrated midride after they rebuilt it, ok so I don't trust them anymore) or it's the quality of the components, or maybe both, I don't really know and I'm sick of maintaining them. They were just trued a few months ago, and if you live in the northeast, you know how few rides I've gotten in this spring, and they still went out of true.

To put it succinctly, they suck. I don't think current production x517's are the same as the original x517's. Bent sidewalls new from the factory, and *really* hard to radial true where the rim is welded together. Plus, they just didn't 'snap to' when getting up to tension.

I'm running Sun Mammoth w/ XTR Hubs that I purchased through Jensonusa.com. I haven't trued them since I've had them...about a year now. In fact, I had the front wheel come off my rack and bounce down the road at 50+ MPH.
