 I guess the neurons start to disconnect from the synapses around age 80. Went to garage sale Saturday. Man had box with some hex drive sockets for $5. Talked him down to $3 if he would throw in a small Owatonna oew and a small Mercedes Benz oew. Transaction complete;went home and found I had left the whole thing at the garage sale. Was only about 5 miles back to the sale but I decided if I couldn't take care of my merchandise it was better left with the original owner. I WILL BE MORE AWAKE NEXT TIME.

I'm not real sure that you have to wait till 80 to have those things happen.  I'm thinking closer to70.

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Someone left a coupe small socket bits they bought from me at the Antique Acres flea market two weeks ago and never came back.  He REALLY wanted those pieces too.  Guess he figure they fell out ofhis pocket or was too embarrased to come back.  He was in his 20's.....
