Surely this happens to other people too.
« on: February 25, 2013, 05:25:51 AM »
Over the past couple of nights I have been working on a seat for my 350 twin.  Tonight I have been siting down working on the design and final shape while I have been waiting for glue to dry.  I started just after 7pm and I just checked the time and it is after 11.  I have to be up in the morning for work at 6:30, oh well I guess I will be tired all day again :-\.  I really should try and get to bed at a reasonable time at some point this week.  I'm betting I'm not the only one out there that this happens to either :D.

Went to bed at 5 in the morning testing an amp that I worked on this weekend and I had to get up at 7:30. Major ass-draggage here while the missus berated me for staying up too late.

Have to be up at 6:30? Lucky you, my body has gotten used to getting up at 4:30 am for so long that I'm up at 5:30 or 7 at the latest whether I like it or not on days I have off and am trying to sleep in.

That's like me commuting this afternoon  - it took me 40  miles to make those two miles from office to home.  Dorothy has an orientation problem I believe.

And then they have to marathon Big Bang Theory.  It's almost an all nighter then!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you don't have any kids? ;D  If you do, then you're a lucky man getting that much sleep!

I have 3 kids, but they know better ;D.  Even though I wrote that post at 11:25 last night it was well and truly gone midnight before I got to sleep and I woke up before the alarm, again.

Recently made a wheel truing/balancing stand, and have an old rim I'm "teaching" myself on....   Lost track of time for the last few nights.......... well actually its most nights as well ;D   I think that's what coffee and Mt Dew were invented for??

Did my girlfriend's timing belt on her Honda Civic last weekend and didn't finish until 9 at night. Added sore shoulder and back bonus the next morning. Had never done it before and was working on jack stands. Quite the fun....
