The lawnmower is on a one-hour turnaround -- they've got about the same time left.

The Ack bike is moving to the start, Rocky is down there wearing his suit with the arms wrapped around his waist.  The camera crew is having a super time getting some footage.  Bike is on the ground.  Maybe eight minutes 'til it runs, per Mike A. on the radio.

The Ack Attack team just stated they can be ready to run by 5 peeyem.  They're gonna go for it....which is why I'm still here.

I sure hope the Discovery Channel bunch is still there; able to extend; this is ONE terrific human interest story; exactly what all the cable channel shows love, especially The Disney Group.
I believe they are part of the "Big D" outfit. Si?
