I've decided that whenever I want to pick up something from now on, I'm just going to reach up and knock it off on the floor and take as much other stuff with it as I can. I'll swear it has gotten to where any time I pick up anything half or all of it just falls out of my hands. All I can do is watch it hit the floor. I reach up for a box today. It said 500 230 gr .452 RN on the side. Now gravity was pulling pretty hard on that box I'll concede, but as soon as my hands touch it they stopped working and here it came. No stopping it, hit the workbench and busted wide open I was able to pin the box against the bench just as #499 and #500 hit the floor and rolled under the bench with #200 - #498. #1 - #199 were scattered everywhere but in one place. I didn't even curse. I just started picking them up and dropping them in the box which had only busted open at the opening.
By that time I just wasn't in the mood any more.
