Now that I have taken a 7 hour nap. it is 8am and the Internal temp is at 137º only 15º more to go.If I am lucky Hamzilla has done the stall thing and it wont be very long.

Famous last words.   ;D

I would expect that going to 152 °F you won't see much of a stall.  There is probably a fair amount of collagen in that beast, but up to 152 I doubt you get much into gelatinization.

Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

True but experience and proper note taking/a Smoke Log. Tells me it WILL go through a stall between 130-136º. I have miss judged my starting times on previous hams and HAVE lost a lot of sleep waiting for them hams to go through a stall period. ;D ;D

Well it is 11am and 30 hours into this and Hamzilla is at 143º looking like 1-2 pm it might be done.
