Unhappy Is anyone else...

Waking up in the middle of the night scrambling for their gear? Wide awake

Domination takes full concentration..

My boat has been in the water for two weeks. Back in early Jan. I placed an order for line, snaps and hooks.To date nothing from the tackle shop, but reasons way the tackle is not here. So much for shopping local !!

been waking up around 0120 ~ 0245, like it was my job.

prolly cuz i'm getting older and requiring less sleep, or
the jones is finally starting to kick in. either way, i figure
i'm right on schedule for the sleep depravation training portion
of winter/early Spring. lately i am embracing this time and pushing it
a little more each week with the amount of time i'll stay awake.

i haven't started getting annal with my leaders and riggies, YET, but that time is nearing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and OH YEAH, i am definitely scanning the water, reviewing past BassLawgs, spotting the moon and its phases, filing tide times in my noggin as i pass by the shore, and the striper dreams are becoming more and more frequent,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's still a bit early for us NShorians, but i am seriously on defcon 2, Vic.

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

I just wake up, i have no reason it's 0230 and I'm wide awake, If i got of bed to do something rather than fight to try and sleep dreamin of fishtales past or future, maybe i'd crash at 0430. However, I get out of the wrestlin ring at 0630, and then need a gallon of coffee to get through the day.
