I am always awake at this hour. I am a night owl and have been all my life. 
As for waxing cheese, I read another story on it and was curious if anyone here had done it. More surprised I did not get a wax on, wax off joke right off the bat.

I don't do it regularly or anything, but I have done it before. I did it as a Christmas gift for my dad and uncles a couple years ago. It's really not that hard. I just a large chunk of extra sharp cheddar, dipped it in white vinegar, and let it sit wrapped in cheese cloth for a couple days on my kitchen counter. Most store bought cheese like that has way too much moisture. Melt the wax using a double boil, and I just dipped it in, but you're supposed to brush it on.
I always thought it'd be cool to drop in a piece of blue cheese just before waxing.
I remember reading that ideal storage would be hanging them in a net, where they're not on a rigid flat surface, and could be turned every couple months.

So far, my cheese has been hairless, so I have had not had a reason to wax it.
Got a can of cheese from Sam's, good or even, not bad at all; wasn't the thought I had of it. More of, "what is this SH*T?" Poured it over the dog's food and now they are PO'd at me.
