5:30AM Roll out of bed, walk across the room to turn off alarm, look back at the bed, jump back in the bed.

5:45AM look up at the clock, figure "OK, I'll get up in a second."

6:20AM, roll out of the bed, take a wizz, wake up the wife and say "sorry, I didn't wake up early enough to make breakfast, what do you want to take to work? Oatmeal?"

6:45AM, rush out of the house, oatmeal and other nasty crap in hand for lunch, jump in the car, and hope I make it to work in time

It's hilarious that those who don't like to wake up will use the snooze alarm and end up doing it 2 or 3 times every morning!!

6:00: Wake up...once.
6:02: Feed cat, make coffee, brush teeth, morning dump.
6:20: shower
6:28: get dressed, make lunch, have protein shake
6:40: leave for work
7:00: start work

I don't have a schedule now as I'm between semesters, but usually it's:

-Wake up two hours before class
-Get on computer for an hour (TB, send emails, work on homework, tend to band stuff)
-Use the next hour to ****, shower, shave, and then grab a quick meal
-Go to class

I usually jump out of bed exclaiming "Oh ****!"

Then I throw on my clothes and run out the door and drive straight to work.

After the third cup of coffee, I'm still not ready to go install some bulky piece of equipment that's guaranteed not to match up with the plumbing of the original, so I load it up and go to Home Depot to wander around and try to think of anything I might possibly need......

....like some Dremel bit i don't have or a flashlight for my head....



I really got to start going to bed earlier.

I don't have one. I might be on the left coast, or in Louisville or in Maine working on a project. We did one salvage in S.E Alaska last year where we based off a barge, and lived in a tent.

But, while I was in school, I would get up at 6:00 and eat, shower, get dressed and get a condensed version of the news by 6:30 while listening to the Bob & Tom Show. Then I would do whatever homework I forgot the night before, and go to school at 7:40.
