I don't get it, I can't stand the smell of coffee and never drank it..
But she is at least a 2 cup minimum every morning..

 

This is my life....

So I swapped the Gen 1 Nest Thermostat (that we've had for years) with the new Gen 4 Nest.
I previously posted why.

The next couple of days, the house seemed warmer despite my programming the same schedule.
I told the warden/wife, 'Let's give it a few days to learn.'
It is a learning thermostat.

Then I showed her the 2 options;
The Gen 4 Nest (top) or the Ecobee Premium (bottom).



She said the Ecobee Premium is ugly, we're keeping the Nest.
After a few days, the Nest acclimated and the house felt just like it did with the Gen 1 Nest...

 

My entire adult life (post HS gradutation on) I've worked a late swing shift or graveyard type schedule. I tried a few times during various phases of training (forced on to a dayshift rotation) and a few times for a month or so here and there to work dayshift, but the result is always the same. It doesn't matter how much I sleep at night (cuz I will generally sleep well), but when I wake up to an alarm clock or even on my own before about 1600 hours, I'm freakin' tired, groggy and grumpy ALL DAY...

It kinda sucks, and I've tried to switch over at various stages of my life (even post-retirement)... After we retired, I gave it a 6 month go cuz there's really nothing going on here after 8pm, but still had the same results. So, I don't fight it. I go to bed at about 0800 and wake up sometime between out 1530 and 1830 hours most days (no alarm) and feel great throughout the night.

It definitely makes socializing and traveling difficult. Usually have to pay for an extra night or two of hotel and burn an extra 2 days of vacation to accommodate travelling at night. So, when we stayed in San Diego for a month each year while working, we'd leave home at about 6pm and arrive around 11pm to midnight and checkin. Hit a late night taco stand, night time beach walks, and in bed around 0700ish. Up at about 3pm and off to do vacation stuff, and repeat.... When it's time to check out, we'd stay an extra day, sleep all day, up in the evening, dinner, beach, etc. pack and leave around midnight to head home...

We did the same thing when using a travel trailer...

 

We have just started calling it Radio Shack cuz that’s all it is good for anymore.

 

Wish I had a cool reason; like it's easier to go out and do some Dexter type shit late at night and rid the world of scum, but it's just me being me and no longer trying to fight it or be 'normal'...

 

Nope.... Radio Shack used to have knowledgable employees!!!

 

You're def in the wrong town for nightlife.
How does the wife mesh with your style?

 

She does what she's told...

 

I know... I'm thinking about opening up a late night topless coffee bar / hair salon / weed shop (and selling lottery tickets on the side)...

 

This suuuuuuuuucks. All kinds of shit breaking all over the place.







Eff you, Mother Nature, you whore!

 

Business would be BOOMIN!

 

You had me right up until the weed shop part.

 

Dang it!
Thermopolis.. what kind of town name is that

 

Soooo.... No BJs, but you're okay w/bewbs in your face, huh???

 

Not in a strip club setting, but if the waitress bringing be coffee is topless I'll enjoy the view.

 

Hot springs town. Not sure the origin of the name, though.

 

What about the hair stylist reaching over the top to cut a little off the top and draggin' em in your face????

 

You do understand though, the only chicks that work in topless coffee shops are strippers that need a day job too, right??

 

They stand behind you anyway. Also, cut hair gets everywhere. I don't imagine it's comfortable for them, which would make me feel bad.

 

It's the atmosphere. A coffee shop isn't a bar, and a topless waitress isn't trying to give you blue balls for a tip. She just brings your order while not being covered.

Though, honestly, I'd probably be beet red and embarrassed.

 

Not at my salon they wouldn't...

You'd be able to count the freckles between her neck and belly button at my place

Just watch out for the stripper glitter... that shit gets stuck on your face and you'll be in trouble when you get home (well, you wouldn't get in trouble since no wife at home)

PS>>> I guess Larry wouldn't get in trouble either, as I'm sure his sister wouldn't mind

 

I bet we could get his sis' to apply. She's hot, you know.

 

No, I don't know

 

That's for his benefit. You know you've done good when he does one of the face memes or when he spells "stop" with extra letters.

 

The funny thing is the only part of her that I've seen is the part your against seeing
