I've decided that a "ripe old age" is 50. After 50, you start to get over ripe, then you're hanging on the branch ready to drop, then you drop and that's when the worms move in.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

I tried the make a note business so now I got a pile of notes that I can't member what they mean!! The fartherist I get is going thru the lists and get rid of the duplicates.

CRS left untreated will eventually turn into CRAFT.
Mine has advanced to the HEREAFTER Syndrome. If I need a tool or part for something I'm working on, I'll go out to the shop and stand there wondering, "What did I come HEREAFTER?"

Up to a point Getting Older beats the heck out of the known alternative (a premature dirt nap).
I'm only pushing 50 myself but I'm starting to like CRS. Its like Christmas every day. If I order a new mold or die set I've forgotten about it by the time it shows up!
On our 45th wedding anniversary my wife says, Do you remember when . . . .?
"Holy cow, if it was before breakfast, probably not!"

Can spend a half hour looking for the tape measure sitting on the workbench in front of me.
We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.
That's funny right there!

I'm only 51, but over a year of working 12hr graveyard shifts have aged me quite a bit.
I was watching some show on TV about couples going to Alaska to survive in the wilderness and I was laughing at their ineptitude and inability to do basic tasks. Then I realized that I haven't done that sort of work for a few years and would probably have a heart attack if I tried it.
One of the couples was in their early 50's and I was thinking no way they could make it, just too old and out of shape. Then realized they were in better shape than me. Sobering.

I am completing some construction in the back yard for the Spousal Unit - a raised vegetable garden with security from the ravaging of birds and squirrels. I "lost" the tape measure and started looking for it. A half hour later, still perplexed, my spouse asked what I was doing? She had a good laugh at my expense in telling me it was on my belt. I deserved that.
I go inside for an additional tool or some nut and bolt from the garage. Going through the kitchen the cat jumps out playfully ("squirrel"). I forget why I went inside and stand there trying to remember, get a drink of water and go back outside. Get to the work face again only to discover I can't continue without the item I forgot to get moments before that I couldn't remember. This happens about four times a day I think, but I don't know for certain...
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
I know, found some 150 gr FMJ for the M1A on sale. Bought 1500 and thought I did great. Went to slide them out of the way under the loading bench and it wouldn't fit. Turns out there was already an unopened box of 1500 there already!!

Sticky notes are an old mans best friend.
I don`t think I will live long enough to inventory my gun/loading stuff.

I keep all my notes on my computers (Mainly one, backed up to others though.)
Now if the dang notes would just all get into the 'Done' category as fast as the new one in 'Do' pop up... LOL
The wife and I like to play a game called " have we seen this show aready?"

I think most of us in this thread are old enough that we are still analog on our notes.
