Early to rise.

When I was younger, I hated getting up early. Not now. I left the house at 4:30 today. The thirty-mile drive to my office is much more relaxing than at eight am, and I get a lot done before anyone else is around or the phone starts.

I bet you also hated going to bed BEFORE 9pm too. 😁
Yep, same here. I slept in today and didn't get up til 4:45.
Meh ,,,,,,, I loaded 60, 32-40 Win. and set up to load 20, Win. 32 special before ya left home ,,,,,,, 😉
if you get too many of those 32-40 don't throw them away I am always looking for some that are affordable for Gage's 32-40
Danny, I had to make the brass from 38-55 Win. The 32-40 brass, if you can find it, is outrageously priced and a real pain to ‘swage’ the 38-55 down to 32-40. It’s for a buddy who takes hunters after lion.
Copper jacked one on the right is an original ,,,,,,
4:30? There was a time when I I'd just get home around that time. I don't miss those days.
I thought you were leaving the house at 4:30 PM 😊. I always liked 2nd shift & going out afterwards.
I take my day's first dose of acetomonkeypants at 4 am. Dang If I don't wake up at 3:15 and have to lie there trying to not go back to sleep for 45 minutes - and then take the pills and CAN'T get back to sleep. Have to lie there until 5 so the meds can kick in enough to allow me to hobble to the bathroom.
Then, naturally, I fall asleep at about 1 pm for an hour to catch up. I'm fine until nine after that.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Who can finish the saying?
No idea, but I stayed up too late and got up late.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Early to bed, Early to rise, Hunt like heck, and Make up lies! 😁👍

I leave the house at 4:45 am, every day. Hour drive to my office. I never got up early as a kid. Now I can't sleep past 5 am, even on the weekend. I'm usually out in my shop at home, no later than 5:30 on the weekends.
For 23 years, I arose around 4AM so I had time to do a few chores before heading out on the hour drive to work. Office opened @ 7AM and closed @ 3:30PM. Back home by 4:30 and out for farm work until 9 (ish) and maybe in bed by 10.
A fellow doesn't seem to age much on a schedule like that-you always feel like you're 60 years old.
I have been getting up early since I was born at 2:15 am. Usually 3:30 to 4:00 am go to bed at 10pm most nights. No naps usually, but have been known to take 15 minute one once and a while. Since most people die in bed maybe I will live longer since I don't spend mu time in bed. I told the doctor that, he sure gave me a funny look.
when I first retired I got up at 4:30 every morning as I had been going to work at 5am for years. didn't think I would ever be able to sleep in, now 5 years later I find it hard to get up earlier than 8;00 unless I have an appoitment, don't miss those early mornings one bit.....
The last 4 years before I retired, I got up at 4:45, worked from 6AM til 2PM. It took about 6 months before I could sleep til 7AM. Now, I'm up around 7 most days. Heck, now every day is Saturday!!
