    congrats @JPond4!
    congrats @jschott75!
    Maybe we should start a new dad bif. :wink:

    It ain't easy for any new parents but I'm in public accounting and this is pure hell right now tbh. I billed 68 hours last week... (which takes about 75-80 hours in the office to accomplish) Its taking a toll on my wife and I. AND I HAVE ONLY HAD TWO BEERS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS!

    (still worth it)

    @Eziel Thanks for the chance. Working up small - DLD for the first time this year for me, maybe Huna next year?

    1) Starting tonight, how many unique check-ins will I have on Untappd through this Sunday the 13th? 2502
    2) How many handshake ticks will I receive this weekend, SWer and Newbie? First-time handshakes get 3 points, otherwise they count as one point. 25
    3) Our rental house has a swimming pool. What will be the largest number of people in it at one time? 8
    4) I plan on playing 3 rounds of golf. For the 3 rounds (54 holes), what will my total score be? 242
    5) I am driving a Mini Van from my Dad's house over to the Huna festivities. How many total miles will I put on the van? 140
    6) I think @Tertullian007 is going to be the DD on the way back to the rental house in said Mini Van. What will be his top speed? 83
    7) There are some great beers to drink obviously, with some lines being ridiculous I'm sure. In minutes, what is the longest time I spend in one line. 35


    Cheers and don't forget to tag me with your guess![/QUOTE]

    Congrats to you both @Coldstorage and @JPond4.
    I can't say I have it easy but it has to be easier for me right now. I can't imagine the 80 hour work weeks right now or twins. Also can't remember the last time I went two weeks with only two beers. :slight_smile:
