Use to do 125 miles R/T 100 nights a year and then work all day. Sometimes on a flight out of town for a meeting. Get home at 10 or 11 PM and in the surf by 3 or AM.. No more.

I remember when we used to leave after work in June,before the big girls got to PI, drive to the cape, spend half the night getting herring, fish until mid day. Eat,have a nap go get more herring, fish Sunday until we ran out of bait then drive home, I can't believe no one ever was killed..the only casualty was Paule Searls 18' starcraft came uncoupled on Rt 3..it ended upside down in the medium.

I went off the road once in the late 70's after a week long fishing binge, working by day, fishing all night, napping during lunch and for an hour or two after dinner.
I fell asleep on my way to work on day 9, drove my 67 dodge power wagon off into a ditch on 495..I was lucky.., I locked the hubs and crawled back on the highway in low gear..had some "splanin" to do, but was wide awake all the way to work.
. Again, I'm sure there are a few more "whackos" here with similar tales..that's why I LOVE this site.
