Getting older SUCKX
last week I changed the transmission fluid and filter, “the truck isn’t driven much”
yesterday I noticed I overfilled it, so today I got my fluid extractor out and started sucking some out.
its kind of slow, so I went back into the house, b4 I knew it 1.5 hours went by, I go running out side, “hobbling”
and sure enough, I sucked it dry, Becuse other fluids were in The extractor, I couldn’t reclaim it. So off to the store I go.
while I was out there I figured I’d install some anti sway bar bushings Ive been meaning to install, so in this process,
I stripped out two bolts,,,,, I tired to tap and die them. But no luck,
So off to the store I go....
I bought some new ones and managed to get them past the bad part and get them in...
after I busted 2 knuckles, got trannie fluid all over me, and spend 30 bucks, my wife comes out nd says,
JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?
With all my glory, all’s I could say was...
I DONT KNOW!
I guess I screwed up and just HAD to tell someone...
thanks for listening

them are LEARNING DAYS.... or call them RE-LEARNING DAYS..
getting old is NOT easy.. and it TAKES a brave man to get old.. admit it or not...
see you did learn stuff because of your ruff day..
do not multi-task.. take your time... life does suck sometimes.

My absolute favorite is: you get up to go do or get something, you walk into the room and then stand there trying to figure out what you were going to do or get. What's worse is you never do figure it out, walk back upstairs, sit down again and remember.

Thanks for sharing, many of us have more and more days like that, lol.
Mine started at 51 (6 years ago) when I survived a full blown stroke with very few deficits.
For the first several months though, I had extreme issues such as yours with every project I tried to do like I always had. Fortunately that subsided some, yet sometimes...

That is called Destinesia. I too suffer from it, and have for many years. It seems to be a progressive condition.

If yours is like mine then the problem isn't with her ability to remember stuff. If the ability to admit that she remembered it wrong. I could have 5 eye witnesses that all heard the same thing, video evidence of her saying it, and a handwritten note with her signature on it and she will go to her grave swearing I heard her wrong.
