I've always been curious (not that it's any of my business)......but;
What are you guys back east doing up so late?
I'm on the west coast and it's a little past my bedtime and many of you guys in the central or eastern time zone are still up posting.
When do you guys ever sleep?
BTW, Merry Christmas
I'm going to bed or Santa will never show up.

Can’t sleep. Our season has been open for almost a month, and I’ve caught a few grays, but most of my land opportunities come open on 1/1 as that is the end of our deer season. So I’m thinking about a game plan, what I still need to do. Oh, and how I should hide all of Santa’s gifts to the kids in the bathroom to pull a fast one over on them. Lol

So far since around 11:00
Researching rebarreling a old rem .510
Posting on a few forums looking for some SB2 NEF parts
Going through the trapping section of Hunt Washingtion forum
Pricing some reloading brass and bullets
Reading up on plated bullets
Listening to a reloading video on the PSA 6.5 grendel
Got up and flipped though my reloading manual
Currently about to see what needs to be added to the archives ,might go try to relable some stuff as well.

I work nights. So when it isn't too busy I am here. Even when I am at home I generally wake up at 1 or 2 o'clock and stay awake the whole day no matter how late I go to bed.

Night owl myself--normally stay up till 2 or 3 A.M. Hear the owls and coyotes almost every night ,when I go out on my deck for a smoke.

If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping.

I only sleep about three hours a day. Most nights I do a lot of reading and look at trapperman. Pain also is my devil. Won't take opiates and allergic to ibuprofen. Couple Tylenol. Reading takes me to another world and when your mind is preoccupied you don't feel pain as bad. Take care and merry Christmas

Body clock with no snooze button. I usually make coffee, read the Word, get 30-45 minutes of guitar practice in and then head out to check traps. No traps to check this morning so just sitting here now contemplating taking over the world. lol

I get to blame cancer treatments and beating it ! It's been 3 years tomorrow since my last treatment and for whatever reason I only sleep maybe 5 - 6 hours a night then maybe a cat nap in the early afternoon .

It's been quite a experience making it through this process I'm hoping that I've got the Dr's , dentist's and oral surgeon's are done taking bits and pieces off me ha ha
Merry Christmas Everyone !
Allan

Merry Christmas!!!

Its 4:30. I slept in a half hour. Waiting on the coffee pot. Got 4 traps to check here in a bit before the rest of the world wakes up.

Whole family is headed to my daughters. Most have tested positive for zombie virus. All more than two weeks ago. I think we can safely say our family has herd immunity now.

Governor Kelly, Merry Christmas to you too. My Christmas wish for you is that I hope you didn't really expect anybody to obey your royal decrees.


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
