So would you like to sell it?? I'm only halfway kidding. I always wanted a nice O/U. Now that I can afford one,
I don't know if I would shoot it. Sometimes works of art are just nice to look at and hold.

Backing out old torx screws with a phillips head bit in the Makita just because not wearing closeup glasses. Seems like it should work if I just push it in hard enough. ( )

anything requiring depth perception, like shooting a basketball.

I'll find out on Wednesday if I suck at installing a window air conditioner. I've done it before, but now I'm 77 and not looking forward to it.

Happy Gilmore will help you.

Rhythm, can't keep a beat at all.

Thinking of the perfect thing to say...until about ten minutes after it needed to be said.

Sez the guy at the bottom of page three.

See?

Window A/C is in, but I had help, so I suck at it by myself.

Anything mechanical. My father was a mechanical engineer and could fix anything. My younger brother now an architect had the same skills. Weekends were often spent doing a tune up on the car or fixing the dryer. I do not even try to repair stuff. Like bendable I call the man.

Helping people through suggestion.

For nine months I was wrong about a lady needing a cane.

Then I was wrong for seven months about her needing a walker,

Then for another eight months I was totally wrong about her needing a rollator.

Currently I am way wrong about her breath impairment, cough and limitations.

Oh , and I am wrong about her visual limitations and driving abilities
.

( She does use a cane or two now, and uses a walker and she just bought a rollator .

We haven't stayed together for 43 years by me saying "I told you so" )

Things that you suck at doing!

Avoiding injuries during spring garden set-up and getting the lawn restarted.
* 2024 - tore my meniscus in 2 spots. Due to arthritis, decision made to preserve cartilage and let it heal. Had to hire a bunch of stuff done that I'd normally DIY.
* 2025 - tendonitis of the Achilles tendon. Wound up in a walking boot for nearly a month. Had to hire a bunch of stuff done that I'd normally DIY. The walking boot provided temporary relief, but last Friday learned I have a heal spur broken off and embedded in the Achilles tendon. Started a 1-week last ditch effort to avoid surgery which would have a very long recovery time.

Opening anything that is packaged in that clear hard plastic that will slice your fingers open when you try to pull it apart. Just bought some AA batteries and it took me 10 minutes to get the packaging open and I cut my finger doing it.

No, I'm 6 days into a last ditch effort to avoid surgery.

No idea, but it's unlikely you have the same thing as me. I started as tendonitis, but it has devolved to a heal spur broken off and embedded in the Achilles tendon. I need for the inflammation to go away and the broken off heal spur to stabilize (i.e. stop nicking my achilles tendon).

The other is knot tying. A length of paracord and Utube twenty times and three months later when I need to tie a knot...
Pfft! I give up. I bought a new chef knife just so it would be sharp.

I love blades and also suck at sharpening! Tried all sorts of tools and tricks and just don’t get the edge I want
