Default I felt like Bob Hannah today

Backstory,,, Bob Hannah was one of my heros in my early years. He could ride and win on a motocross bike like no other at the time. Brash, fast, flew around on the bike like a dishrag, but very seldom fell off and could back up what he said. So,,, in his training he used to go out to a track and pound the bike until it ran out of gas, at which point he would push the bike back to the pits, fill it up and do it all over again,,, that boy was in shape. Fast forward to today. I was down on the front 40 cutting the hedges with the gas hedge trimmer. About 2 feet from the end of the hedge,,, you guessed it,,, I ran out of gas. Undeterred, I did my best Bob Hannah impression and CARRIED my machine back to the garage, refilled it and went right back at it. I may be the next hedge trimming superstar.

If I remember correctly Bob Hannah grew up in California's Mohave Desert and rode every day as a kid.
