How old are you?

[Uthink Uknow]

I don't wanna post my age. Pharmaceutical interests read those things and the next thing I know I'll be bombarded with Cialis and Viagra commercials.

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company.....a church.....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past....we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you....we are in charge of our ATTITUDE."

I'm 67 and have had a great life. Now I am just discovering really intricacies of accurate rifles and reloading with the purchase of a premium 6PPC. I have been reloading 55 years and just in the last 10 years have started learning the art of accurate reloading.

A good friend of mine had a sign over his desk that said, "Getting Old is NOT for Sissies". Boy how true that has turned out to be!!

Start with your age,

now double it,

add the number of times you've been wrong in your life,

subtract how many times right (if a negative number just ignore the - sign),

add Bill Clintons age,

subtract Monicas,

finally add the number of letters in our current POTUS's name

result is

NOT my age!

Hey Larry - You gotta be kiddin - never heard of components that cheap; and I was born during the great depression. I have been reloading for more than 60 years.

Does that give you a clue?

In most cases, it is the retiree who has the time and wherewithal to do a lot of shooting and "experimenting". This is how we learn and can pass on to others who have not yet reached that goal. It could save them some aggravation and frustration, not to mention dollars saved from learning from our expensive mistakes! I have learned A LOT on here and hope that I can pass on something to someone here..

63 here and 21 corrective or surgical repairs to parts I damaged through those years, and I am still trying to break things. LOL
I still do all my own repairs around the house, still cut the grass, still run the snow blower, still climb a ladder to stain the siding.
Shoot at least once a week reload when I need to.
Age is a state of MIND and mine mind hasn't caught up to the rest of me yet.
