I haven't an "I am and idiot" moment in over 10 years.
OTOH, in my older age, the am getting "CRS" disease. (Can't remember shit)
- I set things down that I am using, and they disappear nowhere to be found, then reappear right in front of me hours later.
- I am more easily distracted these days. Hey look over there, a "Squirrel" Then I have to think, what task was I working on before I was distracted.
- My reading glasses? Where did I set them down now?
- I place bike parts in places that I am sure to remember where, then have to spend an hour looking for where I put the part the next day.
When I am focused on a bike project, the project always seems to go fantastic overall and no mistakes are made.
