Noticed the last thread ran over 500, so I started a new one. Who's with me at :15? My goal is 600, though I've been slacking the last few rounds:)

I got 641 at the :15, putting me past my goal for today. I think I'll do a bit of "this and that" and then go once more in a bit. I'm trying to be nice to my wrist today. :)
