Losing it ?

[N Florida Mike]

I’ve noticed lately I’m not quite as sharp mentally. Losing stuff. Thinking of something I need to do, and forget completely within a few minutes.

I did this the other day :

 ( I think ). It was late afternoon and I decided to bream fish and hoped I could catch a small one to put out on my live bait rod. I did, and not long too long after that supper was ready . So I went in to eat and apparently completely forgot about my live bream out there.

Because yesterday I go to do it again and my live bait rod isnt where I keep it. It’s not in my “holding area “ by the back door either, and it’s not on the dock.

Y’all can see where this is going.
Or where it went I should say…

I have never lost a rod like that in my life. Oh, Ive lost a couple rods, but not by forgetting they were there!

So this morning I will be trolling the area with a deep diving crankbait and hope to catch it.  

Im pretty sure some of you can relate !?

Your profile shows you're 62?

 

At 70 I can tell you it gets funner!

 

It's called old age ?

[A-Jay]

Seems C.R.S. may be setting in.

You have my condolences and it only gets worse from here.

Not only am I a card carrying member of that club,

there's a decent chance I could be the Vice President

or at the very least sitting on the Board of Directors.

But I just don't remember.

Best of Luck finding your gear

My birthday is December 20th, I thought I was 69 until my oldest daughter reminded me I was 70!

Sometimes I feel like the old Wayland Jennings song “ I’ve always been crazy , but it kept me from going insane” haha 

Never been the smartest tool in the shed anyway…

I did that with a dough ball and a carp when I was about 22, don’t feel so bad

Yep...love it when you try and multi task, you run around trying to get things done...and....you....forget to go to the bathroom. ?

My favorite thing is when I walk into a room and wonder why! I'm 62, good times.

Welcome to the club Mike. If you don't find it sounds like a good excuse to get a new outfit. 

[Mobasser]

Don't worry Mike. These things happen. I'm the same way. Slowly becoming an old fuddy-dud. My wife teases me about it I'm all the time...

[Deleted account]

Getting old sucks...

I can remember specific details of a 10 minutes locate I did 8-9 years ago, but I run to the store 2 minutes from my house and I call the wife and say, “what did you want from the store?”. Happens all the time! 

[Bird]

Yep, 61 here and can CERTAINLY relate. 

Rode into town recently and apon arrival, had no idea why.

Actually had to call the wife for some insight. She said " weren't you going to DMV " Oh, that's right. 

I have a quick record app on my phone and use it religiously for reminders but forgot to record " DMV ". lol

 

All shop tools must be returned to their designated spot once a task is completed or they could turn up missing for weeks. 

 

What was the topic again ?
