I have a strange quirk regarding remembering names. If I am introduced to a new person in a social setting I can't remember their name until I start to have conversation with them. I always have to ask for them to repeat their name for me. It's like when I am introduced to them my mind is too occupied in noting facial features etc. and the name just doesn't stick for me. Once I ask them to repeat it then I'm ok.

I often write out math problems rather than using a calculator.
Also figure stuff using trig and algebra when others go get the CAD operator to figure it.
As a pump technician, I don't NEED to figure the math on GPM / head/ horsepower, etc, but I do.

I'm OCD. (Just ask my ex. ;)) I'm a counter. Seems I make everything a math problem. It sure keeps the wheels turning.

Reading both fiction and non-fiction, playing trivia, reloading with music playing, playing Jungle Rules Backgammon, doing math in my head, gym time…shutting the mind off for prolonged sleep is the hard part.

^^^Good to hear from you, Wolfie. :)
Yes it seems like it's been awhile since Wolfsong has chimed in. Good to see he's back.

I do math backwards … X-ring, 9-ring, 8-ring, then I lose interest and patience.
I also recite names … Smith, Browning, Colt, Wesson, Sturm, Beretta, Ruger, then I lose interest and … what was the question?
