    I actually loved it. I'm completely nocturnal. I get crap about sleeping all day, but I'm usually up all night. Been that way since I was a teen. Don't bother asking for an explanation. I have no clue why.

    That's not so bad after you adjust, but the problem here is my phone ringing when I'm supposed to be sleeping and I have to take the calls. Then there's work that has to be done during the day about 4 hours after we shut down the night project.

    Got any 14 ga. Arctic Flex stashed that you want to sell? Seems the whole state is out of it.

    You mean daylight 24/7? Not yet, but close... it's twilight about 4 AM or so. Gaining light rapidly now.

    The Lady's son is like that, quite the night owl.

    He works late shift now at the power plant
    Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

    I shifted from days to nights monthly, for the most part, for 12 years
    in Command Centers. All were 12 hour shifts.

    It really screws with your Circadian Rhythm -the sleep pattern.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    As did I while working at NTCC Hampton Roads, and CINCLANTFLT compound for 3 years. Got to learn how to survive (If I was lucky) on less than six hours a day, after driving to, and from work. Little time with the family. But that's the price we paid.

    I work 10:30p - to 7a (PDT) every day. I'm used to it how. True story: I don't always use headlights when I drive to work. Good vision.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
