I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Early riser - have never set an alarm clock to get up for work. Automatically awake around 4:45.

Always rise early. Late nights depend on workload. Late nights are coming with the list of Turkey call customers growing. My eyes open at 5AM automatically unless I work until 3AM.

I haven't slept in bed for over 2 years. I tried it a couple weeks ago, didn't last an hour.

After years of getting up at 4am for work and in bed no later, and most of the time before, 9pm I'd say I'm a early riser.

But after being retired since last May, I can't shake the body alarm clock!

Up everyday between 3-4am, in bed by 8pm.

Someday maybe I can sleep till 6am. But the day would be almost over! grin


WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

LDW, I feel ya man. I personally can't believe in my 50's I'm in the shape I'm in. I rotate how my body dictates from the recliner, couch, bed. Get sleep however you can get it man. Gotta keep movin, rockin and laughing. That's all I got.

I'll be 60 in May, but get around like I'm 80. Lol As long as I can still trap I'm happy. Just can't do what I could 20 years ago. At least I'm still upright, that's the main thing.

I still haven't slept. I got 3 sisters left and I texted them all early this morning to wake up, if I can't sleep by dang you shouldn't either. My oldest, Sissy, tickled me. She didn't respond like the others did. She texted a few minutes ago and said I don't want to wake up you knothead. I text her back and said are you the smart one or the best sleeper, she said I'm both and your a pain in my arse but I love you. How cool is that. I love my sisters.

I can wake up early when I need to but I can also work all night too if needed. I was skinning lynx all night now I’m having coffee and then I’ll start skinning the fox in my porch. When I was in my teens and twenties it was common to stay up for 3-5 days at a time.
