Working shifts has it’s advantages as well as it’s disadvantages. The disadvantages came into play once more after coming off of the 11pm-7am shift Thursday morning. I don’t do a lot on those Thursdays because I know I’m going to crash…crash HARD. So I do what I need to early, get home and try to hold off sleeping as long as possible. Once again, it didn’t work. I fell asleep around 6pm, up by midnight and going back to sleep wasn’t working.

It’s Friday morning and things aren’t looking so hot. I have plans for this weekend and high on my list is hiking. I’ll probably get in the North Ridge video/hike but there are other things I would like to do and this makes it a little tougher.

With all that said I was checking my camera gear and noticed that my 11-17″ tripod’s camera mount was broken. I don’t know how it happened but it makes things a bit tougher. I guess I’m going to Wally World to see if I can pick up another short tripod.  Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that I completely misjudged how many trails North park had…I had planned to “hike it out” in 3 days. It will take a few more than that.

Yes, this is going to be one very long day…maybe weekend.
