Default Must be gettin old

Just tore apart my room, my closet, all my hunting clothes, my storage box i store misc shooting/hunting gear in looking for my hunters education card. Ya, found it in the closet in a little decoration box.


Just the other week i was cleaning the hawken and great plains rifle. Finished the hawken, put the nipple tool down and then later came back to clean the GPR. Looked all over the place for that nipple tool for 15 minutes.


I swear i have no clue how it got in my back pocket.

Old age, to many guns, to many things going on at one time, Who knows. Its one of those days where you just need a cold beer and a good movie to sit down and watch.

Soon you will enjoy the morning dump with a good taper more than "special" time with the wife or girlfriend.

Unless you become Lactose intolerant.

Old?! If you have to have a Hunters Education card your still wet behind the ears, so it must be a different problem.

I am terrible when it comes to putting things down. I am currently building new kitchen cabinets in the house. I bet I have lost three dozen pencils. And I have all six tape rules out of the tool chest now. Where they are is anyone's guess.

Today I was going to mail something to a forum member. I set it down and went to the computer/office room to get his address. Came back and could not find the thing I was going to mail. I knew I put his address in my wallet, so before I left the house (I found the thing I was going to mail finally.. in the kitchen next to my coffee cup) and slapped my back pocket.. no wallet. Back to the office.. there is was on the desk. Checked and the address was inside. Out to the truck to go to town to the post office.. no keys.

I was to a point where I needed another cup of coffee. And then of course the unfinished cabinets are staring me in the face... such a life.

Now that you bring all of those normal things up... I painfully remember that I did exactly that with one of your breech plugs and I still have not found it. But, I know it is here someplace.

Ya well how many of you have looked for something and the whole time it was in your hand! Must have something to do with all the Blackpowder we shoot.

I blame it on the cheap "local" beer.
