Title: For some of the older folks (How many are memory challenged?)
Post by: Mudd on December 22, 2010, 07:53:00 PM
Is it just me or is it just me... lol

I swear my memory is going. I had a bow that I got from RC that I really liked a bunch but I traded it or maybe sold it.

I'm not going to try to tell anyone that I can remember which any more.

To make matters worse my thinking about this bow just won't go away so the more I thought about her I started asking myself why was it that I got rid of her. I came to the conclusion that it had to have been the draw weight.
The next question was what exactly was the draw weight? I couldn't remember.. not a problem right? Just send a pm to the person who got her!

Now I've pm'd two different guys only to get responses telling me "you must be confused"..lol I got such and such bow from you but not that one.

I am going to "own it".. my lack of memory that is. I'm not going to be stupid as I was in my youth when I wouldn't stop and ask directions for anything.

I'm just going to admit I don't have a clue and ask.. has anybody seem "Keeper Kat"...lol
Howard Hill Cheetah? She had her eyes out front!!

Thanks! Please try not to hurt yourself laughing.

Just tell yourself.. yep that's Mudd and he's harmless.

God bless,Mudd

What was the question again?
Don't feel alone Mudd. It's all part of becoming more experienced. We just can't remember what they were.
Take care and Merry Christmas

I'm only 38, but I have the beginning stages of CRS...Can't Remember Chit.  I don't say this with any pride mind you, it is sometimes very frustrating.

I'm doomed! I have that problem at 40. Are you sure you didn't lean it against a tree and forget it? Lol!
Hope you find her Mudd!

Keeping the Faith!

Please don't try to confuse the old folks....lol

Man! I could've sworn that "Keeper Kat" was a Hill bow.

Now I am going to have to ponder on this one, maybe scratch my head a little.

I'll be back.... as soon as I figure somethings out...lol

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,
I've done the exact same thing.  Sometimes I find the bow cause I didn't sell it or it has just disappeared on it's own.  I should keep notes but then I'd never find 'em  :)   Doc

You too? Keep a notebook, just the date, what you bought and the reason.  When you sell something do the same. Pretty soon you see a pattern...total confusion; that's when you will stop.

Mudd, If you traded that for that bow to RC, you probably sent him your 49# Mohawk for his Howard Hill Cheetah. The Cheetah was about 53 or 54#

I have always had a bad memory and it is getting worse as I get older.  But, being the optimist that I am I just figure that it will make the transition to alzheimers much easier!  

It's always frustrating to get into a room and forget why you went there.

Sometimes I just forget that I have a bad memory.

I'm back and really ticked at my obsessive compulsive side now.

I am always cleaning up stuff on the computer like I'm afraid that I will fill this electronic box up and there won't be any more room for new stuff.

I went through all of my files and photos and NOT ONE!!! picture could I find of "Keeper Kat". No record of any kind that I ever owned such a bow..lol

Somebody pinch me, I want to wake up now...lol

God bless,Mudd

PS: I always said I was being thorough , my wife say anal compulsive...lol

Did you hear the one about to 2 OLDER bowhunters setting on the front porch?  One says to the other, "I can't remember any thing anymore.." The other say, "I had that problem too. My wife and I took a class on memory skills,  they told us to associate what we want to remember with something in our daily surroundings  and that has really helped"  the other guy says.  "That is a great idea I should take that class, what was the name of it?"  
Well the man looked confused for a minute and then says,  "what is the name of that flower, you know the one with the thorns.?"  His friend says, "you mean, rose?" and our old gentleman says, "Ya right,that is it, thanks."  Then looks into the house and yells,  hey, Rose, what was the name of that class we took?"

Mudd,

Good work NomadArcher !!

I knew that...lol Of course.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Now can you tell me who has it?..lol

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,
 Was this the 60 lb. Cheetah that was originally listed  as wanted to trade but became as "sold" on 12/21/2010 (Bow Classifieds)?   Hmm... I almost asked (emailed) you if you wanted to sell the bow outright!
Title: Re: For some of the older folks (How many are memory challenged?)
Post by: Mudd on December 22, 2010, 10:56:00 PM
NomadArcher you are da man!!

I went back and figured out where "Keeper Kat" was last known to be. Her new owner after me was soundman.

Maybe she's still there... wahoo! Now I can hopeful find out what her draw eight was..lol

Thank you NomadArcher!!!!

Mystery solved... to a point.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I am editing rather than making a new post.

Howard Hill Cheetah 68" 56@28.. woohoo!!!
Title: Re: For some of the older folks (How many are memory challenged?)
Post by: NomadArcher on December 22, 2010, 10:58:00 PM
Wish I could help ya there...not a clue though.

The best thing you could do is order a custom Hill to your desired specs.  :smileystooges:  

I sold a nice Cheetah awhile back and saw it for sale and wanted it back. I had to think why I sold it in the first place. It was 66" long and I figured I will order one a 68" or 70" instead.

Thank you!! I sent Soundman an e-mail and a pm so I'm hoping he's not on the road for Christmas and will respond soon.

I'm truly grateful for your input and that you were using your head.
