mechanic1 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 So....Lately my wife has been working me like a borrowed tractor...lol...one of my many to do list things was to re-seal the whole exterior of our house....so two weeks into it...tired, aching muscles and in general worn out....I was thinking,...man this didn't use to take such a toll on me like this....just getting old indeed....then I realized it not the work wearing me out so....it is the..."go back trips.." to go back and get what I forgot....two or three times the mileage in steps...LOL

uncledj Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I hate it when I have a "go back trip", but when I get into the house or garage, I stand there in a fog, wondering "what did I come in here for?" Sometimes I give up and go back to work, only to encounter the same problem and have to "go back" again. Gettin' old ain't for sissies.
Motorcycle Mike Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Yep! I could finish most job's in a third of the time but for the go back trips or looking for the tool I layed down just a minut ago. And it's all down hill from here.
etcswjoe Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 If I have more than a couple my wife usually hears me ride away on the bike, since I can't remember what I was going to do might as well ride.
mechanic1 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 ...the good news is...I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak....even if it did take me a week to do what I use to in two or three days way back when...lol...evidently I must be doing a lot better job of it these days is why it is taking me a lot longer.....my story and I'm sticking to it...LOL

Venturous Randy Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I can tell when my Attention Deficient Disorder is getting bad when someone asks me why I did not button the bottom three buttons on my shirt. RandyA
Evan Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Sure relate to this. Had a "go back" trip myself today. Made it about 10 miles this time before I realized I was heading out for a week without my iPhone. Had to go back home to get it.
videoarizona Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 If I have more than a couple my wife usually hears me ride away on the bike, since I can't remember what I was going to do might as well ride. LOL!!! Good as an excuse, I guess!
