That’s gonna leave a mark.

 

It's a Good Morning.
Highs, 70, low humidity and no rain

Becarefull asking for rain. You may get more than you want.

Nice

 

The problem with that picture is the heat and humidity that follows that pretty view ..lol

That's how we've been getting it all year so far....No rain, then monsoons....Weather guessers saying "1" to 4" this weekend" .

And we'll be in the woods, wheeling...Should be an adventure...

 

Morning all. High of 93 and humid today. Storms coming this evening, gonna try and mow after work. Should have yesterday but grilled instead. Was tired of mexican food @ the resort. Grilled good ole American T bones with deer dogs! Great to be home!

 

My sunrise


I know it's not as nice as @Marty65 sunrise. Just happy to see it.

 

Cloudy here
It’s okay we needed rain bad,almost got it all last night. Just sitting in truck until I’m allowed to punch the clock and watching a skunk run around in hopes of getting someone

 

Any insomnia experts?

The last few months I've had increasing difficulty getting to sleep and lately that's been 0-2 hours per night occasionally. Like last night. I don't get it; I busted ass all day, starting with a particularly heavy leg day at the gym, and construction at the house more or less til 11pm or so. I should've slept like a log. Instead, I tossed & turned til 7. WTF?

No booze, one cup of coffee in the AM, no other caffeine, and I haven't done shift work in 30 years. Is this just SOP after 50?

 

I can fall asleep just about anywhere so not a 50s thing, maybe metabolism change.

 

Ive done shift work for 35yrs and have fought it forever,heck now we shift change every 2 weeks!!.after i recorded my sleep for couple weeks doc finally gave me something to help get to sleep when i go through those insomnia periods.stress has alot to do with it too like when your brain wont quit working enough to let you get to sleep!Good Luck..Benadryl helps 2-25mg tablets hour before you want to sleep.its the same active ingredient in over the counter sleep aids.

 

If I could only get it to start working during the day!

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Any side effects? I do take NyQuil at the slightest hint of a cold or flu, and that gets me to some solid sleep, but I always wake up extra dopey.

 

This is JUST EXACTLY what I needed to see while I'm starving. Come on lunch time....

 

Awesome pics !!!

 

Some times may wake up drousey but you can Google it for side effects..active ingredient is Diphenhydramine..i too dont pop stuff for colds,aches etc..but i had to sleep!would go 5 or 6 days with at most 2 or 3 continious hours of sleep a day and then crash on my day off being exhausted.

 

Good Morning Everyone !!

My Brother heads back home today !! , as always I had a lot of fun while he was here . I will see him again in a couple months as he invited me to his house in Oahu

 

Whenever I can't sleep I take some of my prescription pain meds I used when I had my knee replacement

 

The highlight of the day will be in a couple hrs when my Brother and I go out to breakfast . He wants to go for a ride in the Camaro and last time he rode in it was 5 yrs ago

Should be interesting to see how he fits into the pass seat after climbing over the roll cage door bar

 

On my 3rd day off for the week with 3 more to go. Not taking any extra days till the end of October/ beginning of November when the new grandbaby is born.

 

Surfers in Hawaii have way to much fun !!!

Let the rains begin! I drove out to the far side of our golf course to check the fence around the place. I'm 850 yards past the last cart path, sitting here in my truck, watching it rain, listening to rain hitting the cab roof..... No one knows where I'm at.


PERFECT place to take a nap!
