    @Chasespeed , I’ve done a few and generally will leave the hitch stronger than it started. I’ve also burned in a receiver tube into a new bumper, depending on the bumper. I’m finally getting caught up with renovations and such and should be able to get back into the shop soon. Let me know.

    I think we are the only ones that rise early like this...

    Okay, thank you, that does give me an option. I had thought that, moving the crossbar up in the brackets might be the simplest option.
    All I would need to do, is sort out tucking my tailpipe up out of the way.

    @crashngiggles
    I hadn't seen that option. But for the cost, and zip would HAVE to do something about the swing-out. Not a fan of the spindle. I much prefer double-shear for stuff like I that.
    I will keep it on n the table...

    I get up around 4 to do morning shift incase baby wakes up. Gives me an hour or two of peace before the rest of the house gets moving as well. Even before the baby though, I was up at 5 naturally, no alarms since high school.

    Try to be outside productive by 7-7:30, usually waiting on stores to open or neighbors to be up where the noise won't be an issue. If I can get 6-8 hours in by 2ish, I feel like I've had a good day and can slow it down from there. Being able to set my schedule and whatnot has big advantages mentally though. Waking up to an alarm is twice as hard IMO and I'm lucky to be an early riser naturally.

    My dog is my alarm. 5:30 every day. I don’t understand how she adjusts for DST but she does.

    Nice to putt around, check TW and see what’s launching off the planet soon.

    My dog sleeps in until 9-930 if given the chance.

    I am up usually with the sun - summer is great up around 530-6 and might even get in a run or something done around the house before work.

    winter is a struggle to be up before 7....

    No updates other than we both got "some" sleep last night. Not too far along at the moment. Guessing he might be here by mid afternoon. We are typically up at 6am during the week. My in-laws are dealing with the dogs and daycare drop-off. Doggies will be going to daycare at some point today as well

    Yuck. I'm a 5 AM wake up, at work by about 6:15 (30-40 minute commute) and not really checking TW until 7ish.

    It'll grow back to an hour to get in and nights being anywhere from an hour to 2 hours getting home once traffic gets back to normal. It's starting to pick up a little, but it's still nothing like it was pre-COVID.

    I got my second shot yesterday and woke up today feeling fine. I am getting more and more tired as the day goes on, though, and am having a hard time focusing on anything.
