Sometimes getting old and forgetful can be fun.

[Moonpie]

I'm old.
Sometimes I forget things.
My reloading bench has 25yrs of accumulation stuffed up underneath it.
So today I decide to clean all that stuff out.
Y Carumba!
Found 2000 30cal 150gr FMJ's, 1500 22 55gr FMJ's, 1000 Large rifle primers, bags of brass in oddball calibers.
Need some 30-40Krag, 218Bee, or 303 savage brass?
The list goes on....cleaning rod sections, cast bullets in 8mm, .303 Brit, some more lead ingots, 8lb jug of IMR4895, and a bird nest.

I laff at Midway and Brownell's today.

Cool. I've had similar experiences.

 

[Bozz10mm]

I've done that too. What's bad is when you forget you have something and go out and buy it again.

Gotta' go clean my reloading bench. No tellin' what treasures I'll find! ////////////////////////////

Don't forget your closet. Found a NIB pair of shoes I don't remember buying in mine last week. Sad thing is I moved the box out of my way more than once in the past few years and never looked inside, I think. The slope on the downside is progressively steeper...

Hey Moonpie, ever team up with an RC cola?

 

[googee]

I've go that problem too
Some 303 ammo and such can't use

 

[rsayloriii]

Wish I could find that. I've got use for all that except for the .218 and .303 savage.

 

[sonuvaTXgun]

I wish I had that problem. I know exactly where all my ammo is and how much I have

Oh yeah!! I'm good for that as well.

Heck, I do this all the time.
Must have 21 pairs of pliers and 37 phillips screwdrivers.

Don't remember if I posted this here before, but earlier this year while cleaning out a closet I found a dozen forgotten bricks of .22 ammo.

 

[shortround]

Rummaged through some old cardboard boxes in the store room and found a brand new Leupold scope I did not know I had. Drove up to Cabela's to find a proper rifle that would fit the scope.

Shoot, you guys are amatures when it comes to forgetting things. I once hid a gun in the house and forgot where I hid it. It was like a Christmas Present when I found it two years later.

This just happened to me today.
Was digging around in the closet and that darned old AK fell out and hit me on the head. OUCH!
So thats where that thing went to?!?!?!

Once I spent a week look for 5k rounds of 9mm then I realized I had traded it for some fun parts

Sometimes getting old and forgetful can be fun.

But only rarely! I grew up in in the 40's and 50' and was in the Army in the 60's. I never thought I would get this old.

I read a lot of books, mostly checked out from the public library. Numerous times of starting to read a newly checked out book, I would realize in the first few pages that I had read it before. I read a lot of books, so to prevent this I had to start an Excel spreadsheet of new releases of authors I wanted to read, books already on reserve for when they came to the library, and books I had already read. And on books already read I initiated a rating system which helped prevent me from ever checking out again an author whose previouse books I had read and strongly disliked.

And if Netflx didn't have a log of all movies I had rented, watched and rated, that I could look up, I would have to start a spreadsheet for those also!

Yes, sometimes getting old and foregetful can be fun, but not many. But it sure does beat the alternative!

LOL. I've done that a few times.

First few pages!!! I once re-read an entire book and didn't realize it till the last chapter.

That made me laugh! Thanks!
