- Sleep
- Taxes (this year at least)
- Spend plenty of time with the girlfriend since there will be 45 consecutive days where she won't see much of me

- Review the AndyMark website and memorize things like stock gear ratios, wheel sizes, hole sizes/patterns, etc. This gets easier each year since all that really has to be done is memorizing the brand new stuff.
