Today I found out that I'm finally getting to go to dayshift.  Night shift has been taking its toll on me and my family.  I had decided come August I was going to step down from my position just so I could get to days.  Thankfully I won't have to do that now.  It will probably be a month or two before I make the switch, but at least now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks.  I have plans on making some changes when I go to days.  I would like to cut out soft drinks and lose some weight.

When I got out of school, I took a job on afternoon shift...4pm to 12:30 am. That was alright when I was single, but once I got married, it was for the birds. I didn't have the seniority for days and wound up changing careers, as a result. Glad to hear you are on normal hours, Clint.

I did overnights for a year and a half. Hope I never have to go thru that again. Glad you found a way to move to days.

I worked 28 years of swing shift in a power plant. They let me work days for a year before they riffed me. I was a fire breathing dragon on midnights, made everyone around me miserable because I couldn't sleep.

After working days for a year they offered me another swing shift job or a trip to the house. I took the trip to the house, my wife applauded my decision. The poor woman had had enough of a fire breathing dragon in her life.

I have been working on an osage bow recovery I have been putting off for years. Wrapped the split limb, heat treated some badly warped limbs, one with with 5 " of string follow and am retillering. Looks good so far.

Thanks guys.  12 hour nights wouldn't be bad for a single guy.  On my days off I switch back to a normal routine so I can see the family.  We have a lot of meetings and training classes that cause me to stay up all day after working that night.  Almost once a week I end up skipping a day sleeping.  That gets old pretty fast.  That's usually when I go into robot mode.  Its like my brain halfway shuts down.  That's when I debark staves.  It doesn't take much brain power to peal the bark and sapwood off.  I never tiller a bow when I have stayed up all day.  Thats asking for problems.  Some time in August I will be making the switch.  I am so glad I will be on days before deer season starts.

Hey Guys,
Just got back a few hours ago from vacation, Didn't look on this site for over a week, wow.... did I had withdraws, got a lot of catching up to do...............I've been in Mullet country ...Florida!!! my wife and I were in southwest Florida during Andrea!  what a experience.  Before the storm came in I caught a bunch of Snook right off of the beach in the trough.  even caught a Pompano, flounder and trout.  Had a great day before that damn storm came in with the wind and rain, it was un believable, and it was just a tropical storm!  the surf was in our back yard, I could spit in it from our deck.  My wife thought the sea foam looked like white cotton candy blowing around.  I think she had one too many run drinks before lunch. She got a few pic's... I'll try and post a few later.  other than the storm had a good vacation.  back to the grind Monday.
