I don't think I'm outstanding, but I am over 60 and a new official. I don't wear a belt, but I've considered it. I do use one of those rubber Flex belts that helps hold up my pants and keeps my shirt tucked in.

I also have a Pickett 600T slide rule - a la Buzz Aldrin. Unfotunately, it has been too long since I used one and doubt I could accomplish much with it now.

Maybe it is as difficult as rocket science? Aluminum Pickett slide rules were carried on five Apollo space missions, including missions to the moon. Watch the movie "Apollo 13" and you'll see Tom Hanks, as Commander Jim Lovell, use one. My favorite scene in the movie. It makes me all misty eyed.
