True. And Sousa gets me motivated to maintain a steady pace for 3 miles or so. Although this southern humidity is making it difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 To wake me up in the morning, coffee holds a distant second place.... The quickest way to have me fully awake in the least amount if time was found one morning when the new puppy, who had been sleeping on the top of the headboard, decided to take a flying leap over me (whilst I was asleep) to get to my wife who was standing at the end of the bed. Well, that cute little puppy's legs only propelled her far enough down the bed to where the..uh.. family jewels were sleeping. stood me straight up wide awake before I crumpled back down again. That worked faster and more completely than any coffee I ever had, but I wouldn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 As far as waking up, I think I’m one of those rare types who come fully awake for some reason. I don’t seem to need coffee or other stimulants to help. But I sure loves my coffee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the reasons that I, when I was doing reenacting, got the job as cook (also I could cook a better meal for less than the person who had the job before me, and I gave them good food, not burgers and hot dogs for dinner). The taste and feel of coffee has a civilizing effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 COFFEE = iNSTANT HUMAN. Strong, stronger and strongest. Diet Coke for the rest of the day. Royal Marine tea at night. Max, my yellow "Lion", Tom Cat, jumps on my head and/or jewels when HE thinks it's time to get up, go out and resume hunting. That's impossible to ignore.

Raylan Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Coffee, yes. Loud music, well there's a reason I have a gun next to my bed. The only thing better than coffee would be a complete body massage and then coffee, unfortunately I never married a masseuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I split the cornbread and fried it in the rendered fat from the salt pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
