Darkness

[Johnskiismore]

Funny how quickly night time falls soon after Labor Day. No more outdoor activities for the most part after 7:30. In only three months before 4:30!

I can see for some people how this can be depressing, but for us, fall and winter skiing is right around the corner!

I know, I was hoping to mow the lawn after work today, but I got home around 7 so I blew it off till tomorrow (hopefully)

After watching Seinfeld I was going to put away the kayaks for season with other summer stuff. Walked outside, too dark! Oh, procrastination only had all day to do it!

Kinda sucks for after work mountain biking, but alas, it means a change is coming.

for under 50 bucks you can extend your season by months.

Yup, the earlier setting time stinks, but so does the later rise time. I atleast used to have some sunlight outside when the alarm went off in the AM - thus actually giving me a fighting chance of NOT hitting the snooze alarm, but now in the dark at 5:45AM, that snooze alarm is just about winning out these days

I have not been awake before sunrise in the longest time. That is if you dont count not going to bed a few times. I usully get up around 10 or so.

thats when i normally like to get up but the past few weeks have had me in the city before 9. i am not liking it at all.

Scattered weather through out the region..
Periods of light followed by darkness will prevail.

Snooze alarm won the battle with darkness this AM

Definitely putting a damper on my walking/running routine. I don't like going around town by myself in the dark...there are some definite loonies who live here! But last night I sucked it up and went in the dark anyway. 7:20PM and it was already lacking light severely. 6:30AM until it looks like the sun is rising... I know it's a sign of winter coming, but I could use a little more daylight right now.

So did mine... I opened my eyes and saw WAY too much light... looked at the clock and had one of those 'oh, chit' moments... the clock read :35 past when I'm supposed to be at work..

I remember hitting the snooze button once when the alarm went off, but I must have hit the wrong button and shut the alarm off.

I'm psyched for the winter to be on it's way, but I could do with a bit more sunlight in the evening...

You'll really enjoy November 2nd.

It's awesome..I sometimes wish we had complete darkness mid winter like in areas of Alaska..Blue mountain would be fine since all the trails are lit for night-skiing..it's rediculous when it stays light until
9PM...In Montana it's light until 10:00PM in the middle of the summer and when I was in Amsterdam a couple Junes ago..It was light until past 11PM..

Bring on winter..this summer has been endless.

i do that maybe once or twice a year. it happens after we end up having 3days to d 3 weeks worth of work because the GC was so behind. or i do three weeks of nonstop events. when i get that tired i sleep with the phone under the bed so when it goes off at least i can tell the person who i was going to meet. most people that work in the biz understand.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It's dark now and in a few minutes I'm going into work to help with deliveries..I really need to appreciate the office days where I basically work from 8-3 more...delivery days are more like 7-????.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Yup, wanted to watch the end of the Colts/Ravens game, then go out and put away the kayaks that are still there. Game ended, walked out at 7:15, too dark!

 

[Johnskiismore]

Ummh, yeah, meant Colts/Jaguars, sorry about that!
