Can someone tell me where I put my ambition and get up & go?????????
I looked under the couch and everywhere........

Had night shift last night, relief showed up late, got home and checked/fed the horses, let mamma dog out for a pitstop, done a couple things with the cats (can't bring myself to say what on an empty stomach)for the wife since she's been getting up early and staying up late to keep a puppy feeding schedule (mom didn't make enough milk to feed 16 pounds of puppies). Got in bed for a good sleep and, between the neighbor's dogs (6 of them) that bark when a bird chirps and people ringing the gate bell for deliveries, I's cranky and have to get some stuff done before starting over again this evening.

Done now.

When I got to be 67, it separated from me, but I could still find it if I tried hard enough. Now that I am 80, I can't find it at all.

Dave, I think I saw it jogging down the road this morning while I was looking for mine. I know one thing for sure, it must have been yours because mine wouldn't be jogging. LOL
 
Dave just stand still and grab your ambition as it goes by. Don't look for it as you will never find it. When I worked nights it really got me peed off when the next shift guy didn't show up on time. I just couldn't leave, and leave the place unattended. Oh yes I can also remember trying to sleep during the day, you hear every little noise. Glad those days are behind me. Stan
 
Did shift work for about a year, many years ago. I lived out in the ding-toolies, far away from any "daytime" noises. Don't know how I could have done it if I'd have lived near civilization.

I did have a sign I posted in the yard- "Day sleeper. Please go away. QUIETLY." It seemed to work. You might post one on the gate.
 
It's gone and never coming back.

Worked shiftwork at the steel mill and roofing mills for about 10 years.

My neighbors had no sympathy because they thought I was "sorry" like them - stay out all night and sleep all day.

Go to your local Goodwill store and buy the largest, ugliest pair of boots you can find.

Put them on the front porch with a "Better Not Wake Me Up!" sign.

Knew one old man that spread two or three "spent" shotgun shells on his front porch.

When I saw them I knew it was time for me to turn around and leave.

Really liked the photos of the pups; thanks for sharing them with us.
