    Thats my problem the first week out every time. I stay up with the kids and play games and watching movies. You have no idea how satisfying it is beating a 6 year old at mario kart. More than i thought it would be. :D Just got mortal kombat 11 I think. So now I'm dominating the kids in that too.....lol. then my wife comes in at some stupid hour when she has to wonder into the bathroom to go pee like women do 10000 times a night and yells at us to goto bed. Then my first week out im in the Midwest where they are 3 hours ahead. So I literally reversed my clock. Kills me. Then I sleep till like noon on my 34 and I screw myself there.....and it begins again. :D

    Last company I worked for ran Hankook DL11 drive tires and said they were the best tire for the money based on their real world analysis among several brands. YMMV

    Yeah, I'm more of an afternoon shift kinda guy myself. I can sleep until like 10ish. Then about 0200 I'm wanting bed.

    Edit: I despise mornings. Never did like them. My wife is the total opposite. She's up at 0400 regardless and in bed by 2000. We watch a movie together usually in bed. I always joke about why she cares what I watch. Because she's out in like 10min anyways.

    I paid that much for cores on eBay to turn in for mine…

    6 remans $5116.80 plus $1500 core charge. Every time I say this is the last time, and I'll put a 12.7 in next time. I’m not going to add up my engine folder until next year when I do taxes, otherwise I’ll be sick and never get back to work. Not one single free tshirt, but at least Summit sent me stickers.

    I have tried to become a morning person over the years and after being in the truck awhile I do manage to bring it home with me for a while. But I've been home since before Christmas and have slowly transitioned to eating supper at 3am. Going back to work is going to be rough.
