Back in the game after a hiatus....

[5thcorps]

The last couple of years for me have been hectic but things are starting to slow down again. Haven't picked or posted in quite a while. Working 2 jobs finally is over so I thought I'd take up my old hobby once again. Yesterday I decided after a couple years of not being active I'd try out a Kwikset to start and brush back up. Right now I feel like I've just begun. About 2 hours later the Kwikset was open. Kwiksets were so a little a challenge just a few years ago that I was pretty ashamed of myself. I used to pick 'em up and within 10 seconds they'd be open. My feel needs some serious re-learning. Just though I'd vent for a bit. I'll be back regular again.

It's a lot like playing a musical instrument.

You never really forget, but you sure can get rusty without practice.

You'll be back in shape in no time. Which reminds me ... I should go practice.

its about persuasion not force, your trying too hard. relax. try too soft. it works too.

Welcome back my friend, we all missed you.
A few weeks are enough to loose your touch. A week of practice is enough to get it back. Relax, it's easy when you know what you're looking for

Best advice here. I too have been on hiatus for the past 6 months. I was so frustrated with my old Diskus.
Got it open after I calmed down.
