mechanic1 Posted September 22, 2014 #1 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 #4 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 #5 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 #6 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 #7 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 #9 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 #10 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.
