Middle age

So, you older guys I have to commend you. Yesterday I decided I best load up some shells just in case. I do have plenty loaded up in varios configurations to the point I hardly know what is what from factory cheq ammo in 180 to handloads in 130 barnes and 190 interlocs. My good buddy has given me plenty of half boxes of bullets and components over the years and fortunatley most of the shells have shot pretty close at 100(you anal guys are wincing I know) being a 308 win it's brass is even more varied with lost of different headstamps. Anyhow I rounded up some of the same headstamp and prepared to load when I found a half box of 165 partitions that I had no idea I even owned talked to my friend terry who could not remember whether he gave me them or not so then I thought perhaps they were a mixed up box and I best wiegh them to be sure( learn from brambles). They were what they appeared to be so I loaded them up and they shot okay(not average though) so I don't think I loaded them before but who knows? Anyway I know them 130 tripleshokx shoot good so I'll get a new box of them but holy crap I cannot remember paying that much for them when I got the last ones .
I am not yet 40 the future is looking grim. I have already forgotten what I once knew, allot. Surprised you old guys remember to get up in the morning .

It's the kids that steal your brain cells. Not age.

10 more years with kids. They say kids are living with their parents longer and longer. You may be looking at another 20 years.
