This is a place to share out morning routines. I shall start.

First I wake up at 6:00am. I make coffee and have a shower with it, I then get dressed into my mining gear to start the work day. I then have another coffee and turn TV on look at the stock market, since I am also a gold trader, as well was a miner(multi-euntrapenerlalisim). I browse internet. I then start the car at 12:00pm, and travel a few quarter miles to my mining location. I start to dig and sample ground, depending on the day. At 3:00pm I get back to house and have snack and watch TV while checking stock market. I then have have coffee and go to bed at 3:00am, and I start the day again until the weekend. :hello2:

Well..much different than what I do.

Many times I cannot sleep the night before, awaiting my partner to arrive at our meeting place around dawn. An hour +/- drive to the where we park, and another hour +/- trek to the claim.
Setup takes anywhere from minutes to about a half an hour. Boulder prep and overburden takes anywhere from no time at all to a few hours.
Then RunRunRun the dirt. Somewhere from 25-70buckets a day, depending on overburden, weather and overall strength.
Pan at the river to gain That much more time away from the city
Pack up an hour before dusk. Home by 10 with au in the vial

Not mountain or western since the markets close at 2 pm here in Mountain Time and 1pm on the west coast. Plus 3 hours sleep from 3 am to 6 am means this guy is running on caffeine.

This person has the most ridiculous threads I've read on this forum, as many have already pointed out... but, for some reason I keep reading...I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me? lol... At least we're starting to piece this together a little.. Maybe after like 10 more threads we will have somewhat of an idea of what's going on here :dontknow: In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy, purely on an entertainment factor.

Ahhhh Once again a thread from you that make zero sense. Too much wasted time, not enough sleep and work methods that are self-defeating. You must have a pretty big place if you have to drive "a few quarter miles" to get to your work area which you stated in another thread is on your own property.

When I'm out in the field, I'm up at 5 am, Coffee I.V. inserted into my arm, :coffee2: (I alternate arms. Left on even numbered days and right on odd) No Breakfast as my stomach doesn't wake up till about noon and then I start to dig by 6:30. Dig all day and stock pile materials for a couple of days until I have enough to warrant running them. Knock off work about 30 minutes before sunset and fix something to eat. Then relax until about 9ish and rack out. Repeat on a daily basis Until it's time to go into town to restock on supplies for the next month. :headbang: I am on site for a month at a time during digging season here in the desert. Summers here are too hot for anything but "Mad dogs ans Englishmen" to be out in.

I am really beginning to think we ARE dealing with a language barrier thing. I'm gonna bet that alexias is more than likely somewhere across the big pond and is using google translator to translate to Engrish.

On a side note though, I do have a question. What is this sleep thing you are all talking about? It seems like all the cool kids are doing it and I want to be in the "cool club" too. So come on, one of you spill the beans on this sleep thing. I think I might want to try it too, just to be in the "cool club". :laughing7:
