Problem finding ammo, or, getting old SUX

[Old Dog]

Yesterday wanted to use the .308, went looking for ammo. Knew I had 5 boxes. Tore the place apart and could not find it. Changed my plans. Later I walked by a huge black ammo can and thunder struck my brain! Opened this thing up and there was the .308!! Forgot that I put it in there with other stuff. Memory is beginning to slip. I know that none of you have ever done anything like this. Now where did I put my hat?

Yes a month ago, went up to the family cabin in Michigan (Kalkaska), opened my Army duffle bag that now holds my gear and two 50 rd boxes of Wolf 180 gr .40 fell out.

I was about to go back home to Fishers when my brother pointed out an old Chinese wooden ammo box with two GI OD cans in it....
he found it under a counter that had the old well pump on it.
Is that yours he said?!?
Yup I said.
Now in the back of my Honda CRV is a wooden ammo crate with two GI ammo cans in it.
One holding 500 rds of GI 855 5.56 ball ammo and the other 500 rds of Chinese steel core on stripper clips.
Now where’s my hat?

The small room used for reloading here is clean as a whistle not because I'm OCD, rather cause I grew tired of search for something either dropped or momentarily placed down somewhere. In spite of that, yesterday I managed to place the tumbler lid on an open drawer of this repurposed tool chest, then subsequently put pliers away and shut the drawer, which resulted in my looking for the lid far longer than I should have. Duh.....

. . . Now where did I put my hat?

Have you looked in a mirror? Probably on your head.

Yes I have done that - too many times.

About a month ago I rounded up all of my stuff into one big pile, sorted, organized, labeled, canned w/desiccant, and dated it by purchase as well as I could remember. It took forever, but was one of the better things I've done with my collection. Well worth the effort.

It also pointed out places where I'm better off than I thought, and several where I'm way, way worse.

FWIW, this thing is worth its weight in gold.

.....500 rds of Chinese steel core on stripper clips....

That steel core was sweet stuff. Those are some Chinese products I'd like to see allowed back on the import list. (That and just about any kind of weapon made by Norinco)

I'm pretty sure I've done something like that, but I just don't remember it.

I lost my phone yesterday. I looked for awhile, couldn’t find it. Sat down to think and realized it was in my back pocket.

If I can’t find something I assume my wife moved it from where I put it.

Could have been worse...

Wife and I got new, matching phones. Sat at a restaurant afterwards setting them up together and learning new stuff. We get home and I hear her in the other room rummaging in her purse. She’s checking coat pockets, about ready to dump her purse. I ask “what’s wrong?” She says she can’t find her brand new phone, must have left it at the restaurant. As delicately as possible while trying not to laugh I told her, “it’s in your hand, you’re talking to your mom on it.”

I recently put my hat on over my safety glasses at work and didn’t realize it until I had replaced them.
