Losing my mind

[Hardcast416taylor]

I was loading up a batch of .223 ammo with 55 gr. FMJ bullets this last weekend and ran out of AA-2230 powder. I stopped at William`s gunshop on Tues. to get a single lb. to finish the lot of ammo. The single lb. is just under $26 a lb.! Tonight I was looking for nothing related to gunpowder in my loading area and what do I find, an unopened 8 lb. jug of AA-2230! I know it`s been sitting there awhile cause the sticker still on it reads $85 under the dust. I wonder if this means I should reorganize my powder storage area?Robert

Could be. Sounds like you need to shrug.

I was wondering exactly where I left that 8lb jug!!

It's not "nesting", it's "powdering"! lol

A routine re-organization every, say, five years, sounds like something many of us should do!

My wife says that if we had a dollar for every time I lost my mind, we could buy a new truck. Thank goodness it's attached to my neck.

Having purchased powder that I have stored under my bench prompted me to inventory the powder, primers, etc., and keep the list on a clip board. It hangs from a nail on the cabinets above my bench and I keep it up when I use a pound of powder or add more to my inventory.

That said, if you looking for your lost mind, would you also look for mine? I need all the help I can get.

Maybe you have a magic powder closet that adjoins another dimension or the powder fairy visited you as reward for some fine deed done. It can't be you're loosing your mind. Deny Deny Deny!

Divine providence!

I thought that stuff only happened here in the Maine Triangle.

When I was 15 I had a 1949 Francis Barnet (Fanny B) motorcycle. I took apart the tranny to install a new bushing in the gear change index plate so it wouldn't pop out of gear. The first thing to come off was the kick start. All of the parts were laid out on the work bench as they were removed in the order of disassembly. When I put it back together the kick start was missing from the workbench. I had to push that bike to start it for two weeks. One day while in the shop I looked at the work bench and there was the kick start. Right where I had looked for it on a number of occasions while it was missing. There have to be alternate dimensions or universes that small and large parts slide into for short and long periods of time, and sometimes for ever.

Look at it like 8 pounds of powder fell out of the sky and landed on your bench.

I know the feeling...pretty soon I'm going to be able to hide my own Easter eggs, because I will forget where they are in 10 minutes.

What was this thread about anyway?

There are three things that happen when you start getting old. The first is that you start losing your memory, and I can't remember the other two.

Had to refinance the house several years ago. Decided I needed to organize the man cave for the appraisal. Ever try to hide 92 lbs of powder? Did not know I had that much. I shoot slot, must need to shoot more.

whats the problem/ use a lb replace lb

[runfiverun]

wait till you see what it costs now i paid 21,00 per lb for 8 lbs of it today

[Certaindeaf]

The important thing is I forget.

BUT... when the powder goes up to $36 a pound you will be happy you got some when it was cheap.

Idid a half shop shake down . I didn't find powder ,but 2 50cal cans of 12ga and a 3rd of asst'd rifle ammo and 100# of lead that went missing shortly after Christmas.

The last month or so I swear I think I've had the attn span of a goldfish............

Now I don't feel so bad. I went out to my workbench last night to shorten a small bolt I needed working on something. I looked and looked for a hacksaw and couldn't find one. I finally got frustrated and went out to the shed where I knew there was an old one. As I put it down after cutting the bolt, I sat it right on top of my good hacksaw that was sitting right there all the time (or was it?) (cue Twilight Zone music here)

Speaking of prices rising, we buy a "silver eagle" dollar for each of the kids the year they were born. I stopped in a coin shop a year or two ago to buy one for our youngest son and was shocked to pay $21. The ones I bought for the older kids had cost $8 to $10, as I recall. I grumbled about paying that much for a while, but don't feel so bad now, seeing the current price of silver.
