Last week, I was at a Stereo Audio Shop getting an upgrade to the sound system in my truck.
This was on the wall.
Likely appropriate for many of our expert reelsmiths on site.

Fred - not only appropriate to reel work. I was recently reminded when quized 'how do you know that', I replied '50 odd years of learning'. Knowledge is one aspect, the ability to usefully employ that knowledge is a different kettle of fish :)
That works in my business also. Dominick
I tell my kids that there are those with 5 years of experience and those with one year of experience 5 times over. I have 40 years of experience. I don't how many it will take to replace me but we're getting close to finding out!
Well, I've gained so much experience over the years that I've forgotten a lot what I used to know. I think I should be compensated for that, too. ;) It ain't easy having "some-timers", you know! ;D

Yeah, me too. I have to forget some more stuff in order to make room for anything new in there.

I resemble that remark, Steve !!
That's the 'Penguins on the rock' memory analogy. Your memories are like penguins on a crowded rock and every time a new one jumps onto the rock an old one has to go back into the sea.

Yep, I came to the conclusion awhile back that my working memory has been overloaded and therefor has affected the encoding of my long-term memory. ;D

whaddayado when the rock is eroding?
What rock? What is a rock? Penguin? Huh?
I have forgotten more than you will ever know. ;)
That is what I tell the new supervisors. Deep down, they know it is true. ;D
I taught you every thing you know... but not everything I know!
What I Don't Know about (insert subject or repair here) Ain't Worth Knowin !
:) Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut , When i am finished , than ask the remaining questions .
MMmmmm, Ahhhhh. I forgot already.

Yep...that sounds like me. I have so many quick links saved on my 'puter because I forget where I saw information I'll need later. I can't tell you what I had for breakfast...but I can tell you in great detail about something that happened when I was 6 years old. 8)
Certain professionals have a "practice". Maybe that term should be used more liberally as we can always improve efficiency, ability and memory with time and, yes; PRACTICE.

HA! I've always been leery of " Practicing Physicians"! ::) I would rather have them
"PRACTICE" on somebody else! ;D
The notes app on my phone is my brains external hard drive. I literally cannot walk across the room without forgetting what I was doing or where I was going. Oh look a squirrel!
i walked into a room and actually remembered what i was there for. it was the bathroom, but still.........
