Maybe burned out isn't the word he meant.... :biggrin:
Kinda more like, I need a short break.... :wink:
I don't do too many comps, only 2 this year. The 2nd one in Nov 9-10.
I do cook a LOT on the weekends I don't work, or during the week when I am off.... That is after I get a few days of sleep. I think the lack of sleep, and the drag arse that goes along with it has a lot to do with it.
When I am over tired, I could care less if I even look at the pits, let along cook anything. I have a hard time making a sandwich when I am like that.
When I get off work Thursday morning, that is the last of my midnight shift. I can get back to a more normal life hopefully. I was working 8-10 hour nights, with 6 days off. It would take me about 2 days to get caught back up on my sleep, then 4 days to get caught up on the honey-do's, then it was time to get back to the grind.
The passion to fire up the pit is still there, and I will be burning a lot more now that I will be getting back into my old sleeping habit. It is rough swapping back and forth sleeping days, then nights, then back again. When I am off, I will go to bed around 8pm or so, and be up by 2-3 am when everyone else is alseep..... now to be quiet so I don't wake them up.
Just my thoughts on that one.
