AAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!! 6 months without a loading room!!!

I bolted all of my presses and powder measure to my table saw. When I want to use the saw it's a pain in the backside to put it all back together again but it's awful handy the rest of the time.

Hi, Demi!

I haven’t been able to shoot or load much with the work load and the kids.

But earlier tonight I went downstairs and opened a pound of H-110, just to smell it!
Aww, man. Like Ambrosia!
Nothing like the smell of Gunpowder to liven up a heavy heart!

Sometimes I drop brass on the concrete floor, just to hear it ring. Helps hold me up till I can get out again.

My wife and I downsized and relocated in early June 2019.
All my loading gear is still packed away because I have not had time to set up shop.
I no more than got the repairs completed on the new-to-us house and an old and dear client called asking for a favor for one of his tenants. It's been eating 100% of my spare time (I work full time for a firm). I was just coming down the home stretch, expecting to complete the drawings and specifications by end of this week and he hits me with a possible major change!

I thought the withdrawl symptoms had mostly abated, but when I got off the phone with him, my hands began to shake and my eyes began to water! My vision blurred and I became nauseous. The next thing I knew I was staggering toward the kitchen for the 7up and Jameson's!

What if I go so long without loading that I don't recognize the smell of powder gone bad? What if my vision decays to the point I can no longer read the print on the primer packs? What if I forget how to use my powder measures, dial calipers or balance beam scale???

Is this what real nightmares are made of????
Is this an indication of what the New Year is bringing to the Poper loading bench?????

Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woe is me!

Just know you are not alone. The wife and I are building a new house and we packed up all the reloading gear as well as most of my workshop tools in an effort to declutter the house (lived there for 20 years and had crap everywhere). We had several months of construction delays but we should be in by Easter. After that, I'm sure there are a ton of chores that need to be done before the reloading stuff ever comes out of the box. Probably not until winter.

Makes me appreciative that I have several thousand rounds loaded so other than the withdraw, I still have ammo to shoot.
