Fatboy I know tou were not addressing me but, I totaly relate to the 12 hour rotation. I worked straight 3rd shift for 10 years 10.00pm to 7:ooam and my friends said that it would kill me. Let me tell you. It was a walk in the park compared to my new schedule. 6:00am to 6:30pm for 2 or 3 days then 6:oopm to 6:30am for 2 or 3 days. We rotate every 3 days Only get two weekends a month off with days off in the middle of the week. I actually prefer to fish through the middle of the week rather than weekends. I have been on this rotation for 5 years and I sometimes think I won't live to see tha age of 50
