I tried it this morning before breakfast and best time was about .25. After breakfast and coffee about the same.

Now at the end of the day my best time was .218 again.

I always feel best about ten oclock in morning so I will try again tomorrow.

Looks like you are faster after the doobie.

I just tried it again after a bath and so forth and feeling very excellent. .219 must be about it for me.

I don't think I will smoke a doobie to see if I can improve.

After the tone test I decided to resurrect this.

Looks like I have slowed in three years. Now my best was 25 something. I'll try again later.

.30 for my mouseclicking hand
.28 for my left hand.

Realistically, ive got to be way slower on the foot since I broke my right ankle years back and it healed a little wrong/painful.

Just had a bit of a confrontation with a fellow who was in the building and poking around into places he shouldn't. With a little adreniline up I scored a couple of .219s and a .220 so I guess I haven't deteriorated from two years ago.

Tried it twice.

#1.) 0.2092

#2.) 0.1876

I seemed to be getting a little bit "jumpy" towards the end of the 2nd run.

Interesting observation...I did the "Hue Test" and came up a bit over average lame (57%) but I'm showing I can get off the light pretty good for an old fart.



I still better stay away from Arterial Red-Light Racing!

In my old drag racing days there was a triple donut club for hitting a perfect light which you needed to react before the light hit green to get it. This looks interesting and will try that. The triple donut was reaction time to break the beams after the green light .000 seconds reaction time got you into the club. It took a lot of red lights and I never made it into that club.
