Your "Old Moment" of The Day (1 Viewer)

"Getting lucky" now means I found my car in the parking lot.
I intentionally try to park in the same place at all my regular stops for this very reason.  Every time I see someone looking lost in the parking lot I make sure to give them the ol' "ha ha, I see you."

Today I attempted to put the box of cheerios in the fridge. 
That's not nearly as bad as putting a roast in the pantry.  Did that back when I was in my 20s after a trip to the grocery store.

I don't see them much anymore due to modern car design, but people used to stick little orange balls on their car antennas to help find them. I remember a comedian mentioning what a good idea is was.  "Every car should have one of those".

Reheated a pot of red beans last week and set the burner on max instead of low. 30 minutes later, surprise!
My wife always buys those decorative covers to put over the burners on top of our stove. About every 2 months I’ll take the cover off of the front burner and place a pot of water on it and turn on the back by mistake 

:bag:

 
I had to have my wife read the menu to me last week, because I forgot my reading glasses at home. 😟

yesterday i went hiking with a grey Mephisto hiking shoe (right) and an grey all bird (left).  3.9 miles.  not very comfortable.  someone asked me if it was a statement.  nah, just old age

 
Oh hey, I can play!

Youngest daughter (D2) moved yesterday into a new house. Last thing I was doing was hooking up the modem and router for them. I hook everything up, turn it on, flashy blinky lights everywhere as it does so I think all good. Turn on the TV to make sure it all works and NO NETWORK CONNECTION. WTF? We had just been to Spectrum and the lady assured us the service was switched over. Told her to give it some time, maybe there was a lag in their system. Drove home and relaxed, long day of moving and setting things up. She texts me around 9pm, said she reached out to Spectrum and they were no help. So she starts asking me questions and as we're walking through it I think..."you never connected the coax cable to the inlet in the house, you ran it from the modem to the tv." Oddly enough, that little epiphany fixed it and they magically had WIFI. I used the "old & feeble" excuse.

 
Putting on my socks this morning felt like a mild work out.  I’m not overweight and 47, putting on socks should not be difficult.  

 
Had a pest control guy here yesterday (I have ants), who appeared to be in his early-to-mid 20s.  He was telling me about how he'd taken a volleyball-sized wasps' nest down from someone's house, and I asked him who could possibly let something get that big without noticing it.  He said, "old people," and just as I started to commiserate with him about how terrible old people are, he added, "No offense." 

:cry:

about a 2-3 years ago we went to dinner with the guy and girl who fostered our rescue hound.  they always watch him when we travel and are great people, kind of hippieish, but anyone who fosters rescues are ok by me.  they are fun people and when we were talking, the girl was talking about her mom moving near them, she’s getting older, yadda yadda.  said her mom was born in 1965…..i was born in 1966.  i sulked the remainder of the evening and have done so for the past several years knowing they could be my kids.

I do this, too. However, around 6-7 years ago, I was at the grocery store and parked in a different spot. When I came out, there was a gray Honda Pilot -- same as my car -- parked in the row I usually park in. So I went right to it and decided to put my one bag of groceries on the passenger seat. I opened the passenger door, and there was a woman in the driver's seat eating her lunch who screamed in terror at the strange man opening her passenger side door. I said, "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! WRONG CAR!" I went to my own car before she could call the cops.

I started parking way in the back of the lots at the stores. That way I know it's WAY OUT THERE and figure I just need to walk past the last car.  Also bought a pick up truck so I can see it over the tops of other cars. That helps a ton.

 
Getting out of bed, and my bones/joints sounds like rice krispies.

ETA:  Just saw this on social media, and thought it belonged here:  Being a grown up means having an upstairs bottle of ibuprofen and having a downstairs bottle of ibuprofen.

I sit out front in my driveway and wave to traffic. And people walking down the sidewalk.

Doing it right now as a matter of fact.

On the bright side speeding on my street is down 92% since I moved here 12 years ago.

 
Not just "of the day", but just in general.... becoming more and more grumpy.  

I spend most of my time here in the FFA in the "phrases/terms that should be retired" and "pet peeves" threads.  :shrug:

 
I got a postcard today from Ace Hardware for their monthly Ace Rewards specials. I got really excited for Get Two 20lb bird seed for $20.

40lbs for $20. 

That’s an effing deal boys and girls. BAM!!

We bought one of those Costco water pads for our cottage.  It was comical watching me try to balance on that thing while playing with my grandson. I have enough trouble on solid ground…

Just a heads up Chief, yelling at them to “slow down!” while pointing your cane at them isn’t “waving”.  HTH.*
 

*that stand for “happy to help” old man.

Probably slowing down to gawk at the old man sitting in his driveway wearing only his tighty whities.

 
Wake up this morning and did some stretching on the floor for 15 minutes.  That is enough for me to feel old but obviously my subconscious was irritated it didn’t have any good stories to share in here - so, head down stairs to make my coffee and get my day started. We have a Keurig single coffee maker - start it and walk in to the garage to get a roll of paper towels and to check on something I need later today. Walk back in to kitchen to a huge puddle of coffee on the floor, counter and dripping down the cabinets.  Yep, didn’t put a coffee cup under.

Screw you Chief!

I just woke up three hours early for no reason at all.   Was reading the Branson thread and was crying laughing so hard at your Uranus post that I uncontrollably ripped a loud one and woke up the wife and the dog.
