Way O/T Whats your bedtime/waking time?

Told ya it gets complicated.

Dave

The hour plus drive to work and then back is what makes my day excessively long.

Donovan from Wisconsin

Of course all these times can change, up late for homework/project I didn't do, wake up early for field trip, help a friend, etc.

The older ya get, the faster the days go, ya know. :>(

Out the door now to haul more wheat. An old man on the end of a scoop shovel isn't my idea of a good time, but at almost $5 a shovelful, it takes the hurt away. :>)

Going to a farmsale this fall to see if I can grab a bone-fide wheat box for this truck. Got this one fixed up pretty darned good, but maybe I can make it even better.

Trouble is, the elevator is 40 miles away.

Wheat is running 62 lbs @ 15.9 protein and the old truck, as it is rigged now, just plays with these 350 bushel loads. Kinda glad I found that heavy sprung beet truck because she'll handle more if I can find a good, tall steel box. :>)

I think it holds 35 cubic yards struck, he hauls silage for others( probably just getting done) and a lot of grain with it from his fields, also hay and even sawdust, holds 14 large square bales, I'd have to ask him on the bushel count, the elevator he uses is about the same distance away, he has to run the combine, have someone get the truck to the fields, filled at night hauls in the morning, he's got several hundred acres in corn still, most he does on his own, I believe he's about 70, got rid of the cows though. It's got a nice automatic tarp, he uses 2 types of tarps, chute and has the lift gate, entire back part of the box lifts over head like those old 1 piece garage doors, really is a great box, can do manmy different things throughout the year with it.

That would be a truck! I could only dream. :>)

Gotta respect the ol' boy for doin' it all on his own. I like that. :>)

Kind of went a astray here on the question asked, like most, hit the hay before midnight sometimes 9-10pm and am usually up before the sun rises, so it kind of varies now, but for years it used to be mondays 2:30 a.m. wake up on the road at 3:30 a.m. to get to NYC or other places, tues - fri on the road at 5:30 a.m. to beat the NYC traffic from my other place down there, last gig might have kept me out until 8 or 9pm on many week nights, + the 130-140 miles a day driving( mileage paid) between job sites and the office, kind of good to be out of the rat race now though, they'd have to make one heck of an offer to get me back that is for sure.

Shift work, you get used to it. Just don't stay up too late cause your body goes into nightshift mode and you can't go to sleep til morning!!!

Gotta go, Aaron

I was built for a 30 hour day. When I wake up, I do not get tired for the next 20 hours or so.

When I fall asleep, I don't want to get up for about 10 hours.

It is very hard for me to operate in a 24 hour standard period. I'm always a little tired, or fighting to try to fall asleep.... Very uneven wake up & go to bed times. I tend to only sleep 3-4 hours for a couple days, then crash & burn for a good 10-11 hour sleep.

I picked corn all day, was up at 7:00am. Good hard work, ear corn picking, one man show, lot of wagon hitching & so forth, picked until 8:00pm. Here it is at 1:20 in the morning, & frankly I am still wide awake.
