Yes, early worm gets the bird. My wake up was Zulu Time 1000
10:00 A.M. (GMT) Greenwich meridian time at longitude 0 degrees 0' 0"

Joe,

If I don't know you personally, I would thought you are still SINGLE

I consider myself somewhat koikichi, but I am seriously nowhere near you guys' level of dedication

My earliest wake up time is 7:30, I always go to bed around 12:00 to 1:00am.

I wake up and out at the pond at 6 am when family is asleep. Wife thinks I'm crazy!

[Nancy M.]

I always wake up 5:30, out to pond to check on fishes, dump settlement chambers. Husband is up at 4:30 to check on them and go to work.

Check the pond before getting ready for work. Feed the koi kids while the tub is filling

<---flushes his settlement chamber and then the pond's.


Days I work the koi get fed at 6:30

I'm a night owl...can be out working on my pond at midnight. Actually got bitten by a spider 2 weeks ago while working near my filter at night. I went to the hospital and was there until 1am. Fortunately, no bad reaction, so they let me go home. I didn't see the spider..but saw the fang marks and it hurt like hell!!! I was a little scared it was a black widow or brown recluse spider(both dangerous)....Nothing but drama by my pond this season!!!

I am a morning person, but it is too pleasant a time of day to spend it flushing settlement. I save that for afternoons & evenings.

I am up around 8 to 8:30 in the morning, but give me a good couple of hours to really wake up. Most of the time I dont have a lot to do early in the morning, since I am not a full time breeder, when the time comes I am sure I will be up before the chickens and ready to go.
