Not to mention, that with fumble fingers, you sometimes glue your fingers together with super glue. Ugh! *NM*

OT...are any of you older guys experiencing issues with your manual dexterity (fumble fingers)? I am, and it's driving me nuts, and affecting my build quality. *NM*

A priveledge of age......
I spend more time on my knees retrieving and searching for dropped parts than I do building now days, It has slowed me down over the last few years.. *NM*
Amen to that, RS! Got osteo in both knees--good I'm retired--takes half a day to get up. *NM*
Between dropping stuff, a little bit of occasional shaky hands and needing a magnifier, it's a wonder I still feel like building!😜 *NM*
Yes, although I do not build anymore these days, I can no longer type worth a darn. Takes forever and have to back track to correct mistakes a LOT. Hate it. *NM*
I've been dealing with essential tremor for about four years. *PIC*
GOLDEN YEARS........Yeah RIGHT! *NM*
Two months ago I woke up seeing double.... My left eye is looking at the clock behind you and my right eye is looking at you in your face. I've since got a prism film on my left lense for a test and with some luck maybe it will spring back straight. It's been a challenge. *NM*
The only thing golden about your golden years is the color of your pee!!! *NM*
Basically achy and popping knuckles on thumbs and index fingers. Can work around currently *NM*
Popping knuckles is actually bad for your fingers I’ve been told. Don’t know if it’s true or not. *NM*
I played keys in bands 5 - 6 nights/week for years. Tendonitis in forearms & arthritic fingers ache most of the time. I just go slower. *NM*
After all the comments I feel younger though I'm older than most of you. Sorry to hear about all the maladies. *NM*
OK Rich, fess up.....how old are you? *NM*
Jim, since you asked, 78 as of 3-20-2025. *NM*
Some days I feal like I'm wearing mittens when I work on a model,,, other days I just think it would be better if I just threw everything on the floor and got it over with as that's where it's all ending up anyway. Aside from that, I'm great. '-)) *NM*
