Never come close to 1.5 hours.

Me either. It takes almost that long just to drink two six packs, let
alone
take something apart and put it back together. By the way, be careful
because it's possible to reassemble incorrectly and the lights open in
the
control switch closed position and vice versa. Maybe that was the
time I
had three six packs. Can't remember.

It must have been the beverages.

That took me so long to do the bushings. )

I'll bet there is a relationship between project time and how much
beer you drink, but I'm not sure what it is.
