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 ?

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

A-Jay

 

You’re not alone Brother…

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. 

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...

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! 

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 ?

In my phone contacts is Home & Tommy T, both are the same number. Now I have a text received & a text sent.

Lmao. Never trust a fart. Wait, wrong thread.
