Well, howdy, Lurker- actually, I'm up early. My old dog is finally feeling the heavy hand of age upon her, and has taken to nosing me up at 2 or 3 to go out. We used to habitually rise at 4 back when I had the wrecker service, to get a jump on being on Dawn Patrol, so I'm not averse to early rising... at least in theory.
Lord A'mighty, I just looked at the clock- almost time to drag the wife-unit out of bed and shoo her off to the salt mines... they got a tracked excavator bogged down and about to fall into the river out there yesterday, and my "professional opinion as a recovery specialist" was "you better find a bulldozer heavier that that trackhoe and start winching..."
Have a good one!
