I am in the middle of changing positions and companies; taking a week of vacation.
So... did I get up late? No.. I was up at 4:30, stoke the fire, start the coffee.
Then, meet a group for an outdoor workout session at 5:15 - aerobic exercise, running, lifted concrete blocks... back home about 6:15 to have coffee with my wife.
Good start to the day; soon, I will be cutting, splitting, stacking firewood - great way to spend vacation time!

It has been my habit to meet the group Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning; but Saturday starts at 7:00. I enjoy the exercise and fellowship, and then the coffee to warm me up later.
As far as cutting wood, it is my exercise of choice; something I've done my entire life and absolutely enjoy... followed again by coffee.

I often wake before my alarm goes off. Then I have to stay awake in order to hit snooze when it does.

Isn't this the job you got after a very long time of looking for one? Not sure.
Anyhow, I suggest you rethink your "waking up" strategy, as this type of stuff can get you canned from a job real quick - at least where I work.
Good luck.

Power cut had taken mains based alarms out, battery backups hadn't really been set this year. Thankfully were flex time.

Ah, yes, public transportation. People keep asking me why I don't rely on it.

I have to drop the car in to get a CV gaiter changed at 08:30, so I'm not sure if I'll post it early or late yet.
If I'd remembered, I wouldn't have answered - but I didn't notice until I went to add a reminder to Google Calendar.

Don't worry about it too much, it doesn't bother most of us either way.

I would take part if i wasnt so crap at them.

So we can expect a car based CC tomorrow then?

Yes. The answer is "MERCEDES" - but don't tell anyone.

I was thinking more along the lines of the clue being "How much!!!!"

Nah, the garage is fairly decent. Last time they did one (on my previous Merc) it cast £45 including labour and parts. May cost a bit more for this one, as it's developed a rattle which sounds like a broken exhaust bracket - and it's far too low to the ground for me to get under and look!

Must have been one of those split glue on ones.
If not it costs hundreds, as the CV has to be pulled off the shaft, which means the suspension has to be partly dismantled.

Indeed
For the young 'uns out there who don 't know it, according to wiki:Quote: Tapestry is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide. In the United States, it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA with more than 10 million copies sold.[3] It received four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year. The lead single from the album — "It's Too Late"/"I Feel the Earth Move" — spent five weeks at number one on both the Billboard Hot 100[4] and Easy Listening[5] charts. In 2003, Tapestry was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[6]
The album remained on the Billboard charts for 313 weeks (second only to Pink Floyd's 724 weeks with The Dark Side of the Moon).[14]
Having said all that, it was never in my record collection! I always thought Melanie was a far better singer and songwriter... <3

Ah. I was wrong then.
I thought of "Classic record" as "Tapestry" from this kind of thing: Bayeux Tapestry - Wikipedia[^] - which isn't really a tapestry, it's an embroidery in the same way that a Tomato isn't a vegetable, it's a fruit ...

Well... you were right for the wrong reason!

So you're saying the ends justify the means?

That's one of those case-by-case things, innit...
|

That's the way I saw it, too.
The other context is a bit too broad - one man's classic record is another man's two ounces of plastic that should have been used for bin bags.
Nothing against Tapestry but if I were listing albums I regard as classics, I'd probably be well into the four-digit numbers before it came up for consideration.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
