Just wondering if I’m alone here. I’m probably around a lot of your ages. I keep dropping small components and tiny screws, knocking over small trays l keep them in so l don’t drop them again, but then l bump the tray over. :laugh: On my hands and knees it seems, constantly searching for that tiny screw l need to finish the task, ain’t easy getting up and down either. Don’t know how many resistors l searched for..? Seems no matter how careful l try, the last ten years l’m knocking over pill bottles, cups of coffee much more than l use too. I still can climb a 40 foot ladder and split firewood, splitter of course, ain’t that young.
Just wondering if this is an old age thing or l’m checking :w2: , lol.

Arthritic joints can cause that. And aging can contribute to arthritis.

Yeah, l guess l’m getting old but l still think and play like l was 35. Just a bit more clumsy. What really gets me is how many times l set up my one cup coffee maker, turn it on and forget to put the cup under..! :laugh: that really pisses me off, wife does it too, ha.
So, l’m extra cautious working on amps, haven’t got bit in ten years but l feel it coming, “Oh, Well” as Peter Green might say… :l2:

life on the back-side of the bell curve, sorta like the dark side of the moon :icon_biggrin:
Dad had a couple sayings;
"If you're gonna do something, do it young, otherwise you wake up at 40 with a recliner, a tv, mumbling, "I coulda, I shoulda, I woulda..."
"Live fast...Die pretty"
Doc asks "what's your pain level?", I just mirk, Doc, this body has done n seen amazing things, pain is just the price of admission for a life well lived.
