At the first of the year and with the weather less than great for outdoor range shooting in Ne, I decided to Load all of the empty rifle brass that I had on hand. Some 14-1500 rounds later, I figured I was pretty well caught up. Then I discovered 150 308 cases, 65 7x57 cases, 50 7.62x54R cases, 80 8x57 cases. All of these were neck sized, deprimed, and cleaned/tumbled. For the life of me, I can not remember doing that work on so many cases. Had to be a couple of years or more back. They were stuck in a less than obvious location, and were all properly marked per condition, most of them were trimmed, and some had been freshly annealed. It is obvious I need to get better organized.

I love when that happens, it's like you've been gifted new toys. Not finding something you know you have is not as much fun.

Hey, at least you made notes! Half the time I forget to make notes (thinking I'll remember whatever important information I should have written), then of course I forget the information. I'm getting better at making notes, and will have to focus more on doing that because the old catalog in the head is starting to fade and lose some pages.

those are your reserves for when you use up the ones your using now.
okay,, for when brad uses them up.
I just keep hoping my grandson likes to reload and shoot cause he will be set for a long time.

I hate having all my brass loaded. I always end up wanting to try a new load or bullet and can't because I have to empty brass first.
I tend to need to load ammo in order to go shoot.

That's a problem I have all too often. A couple years ago I went on a loading binge and got most of my .45 ACP and .38 brass loaded, only leaving a couple thousand each for load development. Did the same thing with 300 Blackout, but only saved a fresh 250-count bag back for a rainy day. If I want to shoot anything else, I have to load first.

It’s not always bad to misplace things. When i’m On the road working my table, I take large bills out of my working change and put it in another pocket. The wife and I were at a local restaurant waiting to be seated one Sunday morning. I was wearing a pair of cargo shorts. She noticed one of the flaps on one pocket was curled up, but still buttoned. I reach down to straighten the pocket and found $350.00 I’d squirreled away, and it was also clean! The wife just said she really needs to start checking my pockets before she does the laundry.

Ya, washed my wallet not long ago (and I did it). Am very thankful
that most of what was in in wad plastic or laminated. Saved me a
lot of headaches.

Glad you enjoyed it, probably has been around a while but first time for me. Wife got a chuckle and she checks my laundry pockets for kleenex. I spend the $20 she gives me monthly.

As for me, I call it altitude sickness. After I get upstairs, I forget what I went up there for.

I hear you USSR. My house is @110 feet from my shop. Hate to admit how many times I've gone from one building to the other, to get something, and forget what I went there for. Can't be just old age either, because I've been doing it for 30 years!

I can relate to that Paul. My youngest son just got out of the Army awhile back. I went down there (Ft. Bragg) and drove a truck back for him. Felt good seeing all the young guys in uniform, running PT the morning we left. Seems like just yesterday to me. On a side note, I still have three sets of BDU's I wear doing beaver work. Love all the pockets!
