How’s the weather?

I have no answer for that, body just wakes up when it wants to... I wish I could sleep more but right at 6 hours of sleep, the brain wakes up...
Is your caffine intake high? that could be the reason for your short sleep hours.

The beach scene has an idyllic peaceful look to it. My wife and I have made a dozen trips to Cuba ( 😍 ), several to Mexico ( 😍), the Dominican Republic (😖), Panama (😍), and a few other similar "tropical paradise" destinations. Most were great...most, not all...but after a couple weeks we were cooked clean through and ready to go home. Nice places to visit...wouldn't want to live there. We always went to somewhat remote far-from-town spots, eco-lodges, etc. No casinos or nightclubs or other touristy crap, and didn't miss it at all.

That first pic? We'd likely visit a place like that once, if the price were right...but I really doubt that anyone would be willing to pay us enough to get us to do that.

I'm the same way, 6 hours is about my maximum in a night. When I was working, I would be up every morning at 4:30 - 5:00, and continued that routine on my days off and my weeks home because it's a lot easier on the body to get into a routine and keep it going. Guys who slept in several hours on a day off laughed at me...but I laughed at them because they didn't know it if was day or night half the time. I always set an alarm, and almost always woke up minutes before it went off.

Obviously, when you're tired there's nothing that feels as wonderful as a good sleep, but...I really begrudge the time lost to sleep, and would love to not need it. :)

Springtime is wonderful, as the natural world comes back to life after the winter's freeze. Everything is green again...birds are migrating and singing and nest-building...weather can be delightful. Yesterday a friend and I spent the day catfishing, and it was beautifully sunny and warm. Fish were biting well, and the Channel Cats were running, with hundreds of three-foot-long fish splashing in the shallows near shore.

When I got home near suppertime, I immediately lasered all the stock tanks to check temperatures; I'm anxious to bring a bunch of fish outside from their winter quarters in the basement. The outdoor tanks all read between 60F and 62F, while the in-ground pond is still down about 8 degrees cooler than that. Everything I intend to bring outside would be fine in those temperatures, but I just need to feel confident that we don't have a last cold snap waiting in the wings. When I left in the morning, the forecast didn't call for any surprises...but this morning the updated one calls for several days of 50F-ish highs...and several nights of 35F to 40F lows...and a threat of snow!!! :WHOA::cry::wall:
