i notice none of us are up late anymore

are we getting old ? just asking , i realize just because i watch old YV late night and visit here at commercials yall arent doing the same , im just wondering on others habits - life changes but my internet visits were always nights , ive been on these gunsights for decades and before i retired mostly on at night - late - because that was when i had some idle time ,

now im retired and not a lot has changed i guess , im still on late - but used to be others were too

thanks - glad your here - ive always been a late night person , even tho ill turn in soon , , its late now , but its nice to know im not the only oine still up

before i retired i was here and elsewhere late because i stayed at the office till everything was in order them tried to unwind these places , it worked well , i could sleep with out the office stuff keeping me awake , this goes back to before 911 , a lot of other sites , but that doesnt matter , im here today and thanks for being here with me

good night all

That’s me too, going to bed around 9 but wake up all hours of the night. Sometimes I give up trying to get back to sleep and get up at 4 AM.

Last night, I took some antihistamine and managed to sleep thru most of the night.

Most times, I can't even stay awake to watch a whole NHL hockey game, then I wake up 2 hours later and try to fall asleep again. That is usually a futile attempt at best. I tried melatonin but it didn't help.

Water pills, yes me too.

Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually

Used to.work twelve hours shifts. Something times also on the weekend. Made a great paycheck.

Still get phone calls from work on old and odd press setup.

Had to go in two or there times sends I left almost two years ago.

Got paid very well for it.

No one ever reads set up and build sheets.

that was me 10+ years ago , i would be working 12-16hrs weekdays and get on line posting between paperwork late nights , today im on at home and post at commercials during my regular evening shows , i also would be on sat/sun when i went into the office - i didnt have a home computer , my wife did , since just before my first retirement ive had a good friend here in IT that has made shure i had a greeat computer at home , first was an HP that was superb , with printer , second after that Op Sys went obsolete he updated me with an excellent sony ,

both laptops still work but they are limited now by age , hes going to set me up with a new notebook with current op sys becase the sony is starting to bog down , they both have photos i want to keep , hes going to help me transfer stuff

so i may in the next month reach out to a few to help me get new rig logged on - i had trouble with both of these till i got help ,

there are a few sites i never got back on and i dont miss them much , this one i would , my rimfire i would and my SASS wire i would , i use these daily

	I go to bed early but sometimes I wake up as early as 3:00 a.m. and get online then. We might be just missing each other.

	Go to bed at 10.00 pm. Wake up at 2:00 to 3:00 to drain the Dragon. Get up 7:00 to 8:00. If I hear noise during the night I do a walk about in the house and look at my outdoor cameras.

	I've always had this thing. If I'm up past 11:30 or so then I'm up half the night. Then I got put on Water-pills. Now I'm woken up every 2 hours all night & that no longer applies.

	Being on a different continent, puts me out of time with most of you guys. Week days I generally look in at lunch time, or in the evening. Weekends depends on how busy we are.
	It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

	Most nights I am in bed between 8 and 9. Up at 4 in the morning. I struggle to stay up late anymore.
