Thanks, your response helped me clarify what's important and what's not.
For example I was absolutely at the limit Tuesday night at the race. I have my second bike almost put together. I need more microSD cards for my cameras. And all that doesn't matter very much right now. I'm already half-automatically calculating the minimum amount of sleep I need to get, figuring I can do a couple long days with 5 hours sleep a night.
