The Good Morning Thread

Recommended Posts

2nd cup of coffee here. Just put the dog out for the second time, and double checked that everything was on the golf cart for my wife's member-member golf event this morning. Note; she's not a morning person and has to be at the pro shop by 8:15.

Well it is a little nippy here. Got the wood stove fired up. Been using it all this year. Helps with the arthuritus in my back and sholder. Even retired old habits are hard to break. I am usually up by 4 AM. My coffee maker is set at 3:30 so it is ready when I get up. As SOP for me I watch Jimmy Swaggart classic crusades then the local news at 5:30 while I am on here. On my 4th cup which is SOP for me. Supposed to be around 70 here today so i will go out and either play or hit balls depends on how many snowbirds are here and if it is still CPO or not.

I recently in the past 4 months have gotten back into the early morning routine (not your early but) always feel better and accomplished when I’m getting up and doing the routine. 
2 cups is my max though lol

I literally can't function on 2 cups. 

Agree the morning routine is the way to go. However I've been in a habit of staying up to 12-1am which has made my 5:30am alarm feel a lot earlier.

I add some mushroom extracts to the coffee, seems to help with function for me anyway. Definitely feel more alert and clear.

Time is relative I am usually asleep by 10/1030….plus you have the young ones that in sure are still hindering sleep lol

I have the same issue- I stay up til 12:30-1 every night and the 6:00 alarm sure does seem to come a lot faster than it did when I was younger and I'm doin way more than 2 cups

After 10:00 it is all water for me even at meals. I do not do soda or tea anymore. Now I may on occasion drink a beer on Shootout Saturday. I will also admit on Shootout Saturday when it is cool I will do a shot of Fireball if I feel I need it

After eliminating coffee for 1.5 years due to some stomach issues, my doctor gave me the thumbs up for a cup of coffee each morning.  I thoroughly enjoy my 1 cup in the morning with a Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Almond bar.  Then it is water all day and maybe a Diet Coke with supper.

I am by and large a water drinker as well. I do not, however, go all day without caffeine as I KNOW I would not survive 🤣 my wife and I drink a carbonated beverage called Bubbl'r that is only 5 calories and 8 carbs, zero sugar. It's got 69 mg of caffeine. I don't dislike coffee, fwiw, but just have never been a coffee drinker.

I have never been a huge coffee drinker and I don’t drink it in the morning.   If I am going to drink any it is more of an evening/after dinner beverage.  
 

Instead of coffee, I start every day with a talk glass of milk with breakfast and then about an hour later a carbonated beverage; typically Diet Dr. Pepper.  Water for the remainder of the day with a second soda depending on my mood.
 

all my work days are typically the same, awake at 6:30, in my home office about 6:50, then I check various overnight work results, check the latest social media posts, and plan my day.  Work day ends at 3:30 and during most wanted season I head to HQ for a 4:00 testing session (can be 1-4 days a week, I don’t go on Fridays).  
 

Tomorrow will be different, getting up to go visit my daughter at school since she isn’t available for the schools parents weekend due to required clinical shifts.

morning everyone!  I can barely function on 2 pots of coffee.... let alone cups.  

Got to start getting myself up a little earlier in the AM for a workout.  I always feel better after that, I just lack proper motivation to get my rear out of bed in the AM.

I always wake up around 5am, give or take 15 minutes... habit from working for 50 years.  I lay in bed for several minutes happy that I woke up... deciding if I should get up.  I have to pee so I do.  My wife has started coffee, and I have 2 cups each morning.  I used to drink it black, but some time ago we started adding Baileys to it.  That got expensive when I retired, so searched for an alternative... tried them all; the best is Kirkland Irish Cream.  While having coffee I check MGS and decide the Plan for the Day.  Today is at least 2 hours of short game practice; 50º but wind picks up to 20-25mph by noon.  Honey-do's in the afternoon.

Good Morning all!

Much like most of you I check the forum while having my morning breakfast along with coffee... And in between feeding the dogs, unloading the dishwasher, making the kid his breakfast and whatever else needs to be done. So my morning check in on the forum is a nice breather. 

Purpose of this thread? Well for me it's a way to say good morning to all of you, send a update on what's to come for the day and enjoy some of the more human type discussion we have here that doesn't always revolve around golf.

It's a pretty relaxed day here. About 5 or so hours of work (non forum) to do later in the day. Plan to get to the pro shop to maybe hit some of the new clubs, take the dogs for a walk and have various forum stuff to look after. 

Sun is shining, coffee number 3 is being poured so it is s good start to the day!
