I use to work mornings in my last job. Went to working 4pm to midnight where I am at right now. Switched to day shift after 8.5 years of working evenings.

This past few months I'm starting to do more general contracting. So, now I'm getting up early to meet trades and get them on the path for the day. While I am not as sore at the end of the day, I'm not really into the mornings yet. It's harder when I come off a working weekend or a week+ event with the second business and then go into the mornings.

Good evening Illinois, Shaun, John, Max, and Tim!

Its 40° and raining here now. Seems that we have dodged the bullet with the white crap, going to our North.

It's been snowing here for better then an hour. It looks like it will be done by 9PM though. Luckily I had some shear bolts in a bag. Fastenal was closed today.
EDIT: Further examination of the radar puts it closer to 9:45

Other then a trip to Farm and Fleet and replacing the shear bolts in the snow blower, it's been okay. So far we are on Ep 3 of the Star Wars movies... Getting a fresh perspective before the release of Rogue One

How has yours been?

I've been a fan most of my life. Ep IV was one of the first movies I remember watching with my dad.

Wouldn't that be nice?

I think you have had your share and someone elses in white crap the last couple of years.
