How does he do it?

Our house is slowly coming together. Ray has been over there working away until as late as 4:00 a.m. every night this week.


How does he do it you might ask?


Well, after a bit of investigating I found the secret to his endless energy supply.



He basically drinks shots of straight sugar or salt, followed up by a quick snack of trans-fat, chocolate, more sugar,saturated fat, and it looks like he does throw some pecans into the mix.




He also has a great two man crew.


Wherever he goes, they are right there next to him ready to help. They are so well trained. As soon as he sets a power tool down, they are ready to pick it up off the floor and start using it on the nearest object.

It really helps Ray to always have another person there, checking to make sure he is doing it right.

And they are excellent at making sure they get their sugar shots, and chocolate trans-fat concoction's too.


Well, whatever Ray's strategy is, it does seem to be working!

three reasons i'm impressed:

1) still can't believe ray is actually doing that!

2) still can't believe ray is sane doing all of that with your boys following him around!

3) still CANNOT and will never understand that ray can eat all that junk and be so skinny! no fair...

I KNOW!!! It is no fair. There are many of mornings I wake up to see remnants of pizza, M&M's, root beer bottles, and gummi bears next to the bed. And yet, his clothes continue to fit him so well. I was teasing him the other day that he has so many clothes in the closet because stuff he bought 15 years ago still fit him. He just waits for old T-shirts to finally disintegrate in the washing machine.

i'm reading this after just overeating again at your parents' house, and thinking "no fair" all over again too!

The house is coming along great. We are so excited for you. Last week we found out they have built our homr incorrectly so we are starting all over again with another home but it is 800 more sqft! And has a community pool so I guess I'll live! It just means that now it will not be finished until Septmeber! Good luck staying sane and we hope you and the baby are feeling great!

Ah the point you are all missing is that the key to the henderson figure IS lots of candy and not much sleep. It is essential to our diet. I think if we start eating healthy the pounds will start coming :)

Looks like the work is coming along great! I wish i was there i could be helping him out. It was a blast helping and learning how to do all that stuff. Is ray the go get a book and read it while he works kind of guy? That was the funniest thing with Rich. I went to help him lay tile and he seemed real confident, had never done it before, and checked the book every step, but it looked great!

What Mom and I couldn't see were all the Pepsi cans - they must be there somewhere. The walls do look good. We missed you for all the fun/chaos here in Park City. Love, Mom & Dad

Russ, you are so right. It does seem to be the more junk food and less sleep Ray gets, the more in shape he is! And yes, Ray just reads the instructions and is like, oh ya, this is so easy, and just does it and it looks great!

Mom & Dad, we missed you guys too yesterday. I think that Ray has at least dropped caffeine from his four main food groups :)

The ray-ster, doing a little texturing....There is NOTHING like the Home Depot 1.2.3 manual.
