Morning routines before the shift

Back in my days of hauling supplies, mornings were everything. I’d kick things off with a strong cup of coffee, make sure my gear was all set, and squeeze in a quick stretch before heading underground. Some people have their own rituals or superstitions they swear by too. What’s your go-to morning routine before you head onsite?
 
I always grab a quick bite and check my gear. I learned my lesson the hard way after forgetting a wrench once now I never skip that check.
 
When I had early shifts, I’d kick things off with black coffee and a walk around the lot. That helped me clear my head and stay on point at work.
 
I remember hauling stuff during Nevada winters. My thing was coffee, checking my gear, and warming up the truck. One time I skipped stretching, and my back was killing me all day. Now, I always stretch a bit before heading out
