Sure!

Ground oral exam was a little over an hour long, I'd say about 70 minutes altogther. He was pretty cool about the whole thing because of the 100% on the written. He seemed impressed.

Flight exam: I start the engine, get ready to roll, but his intercom doesn't work. Engine off. Get new intercom. Engine on again, ready to roll. Now his headset won't work. Engine off. New headset. He mentions how this might be a sign that I shouldn't take the checkride. Just what I needed to calm my nerves...

Just your standard manuevers and procedures, short/soft T/O's and landings, stalls, steep turns, emergency engine out, track VORs, divert, etc, etc.
Overall 1.3 hours in the airplane. Awesome experiance.
