How many things can one person forget?

Okay, I try not to nag. I really do, but my husband cannot remember anything. Its the most frustrating thing ever. Not only does he not remember things, he loses things too.
Just last week, he lost the pin that hooks the trailer to the lawn tractor. The only time you take it out is to disconnect the tractor. So, tell me how you lose that?
Our vet sent out a little card a couple weeks ago. Aaron has always taken responsibility for all the vet visits. He has a flexible schedule at work, while mine is the most structrued ever. So he always takes care of things like that since he can leave work at varying times. He still hasn't set up an appointment. Now, I could call and make one for him, but then he would be mad and say "I was going to do it" So...do I remind him again (be a nag) or sit around and hope that Lucy gets her distemper and rabies shots?
Here is a bad one. He told me his dad's birthday was on February 5. So I rush out Feb 3 and get a card to mail. I felt so bad that it was going to be late. Then, Aaron didn't even call on his dad's birthday. That is one thing I am not going to remind him to do. His family....his deal to call them. I just send the cards. Well, then I am at work on Feb 25, and I get a outlook popup that says Lee's Birthday. So, I call Aaron and ask "when is your dad's bday again" He said he wasn't sure...either 2/5 or 2/25. So, me being resourceful, I try to find it online, and I did. It is 2/25. At least Aaron could call him on that day. They were so confused as to why the card came early.
The thing is, even after knowing him for so long, I am still so baffled when he forgets things. Problem is, I feel like I am constantly reminding him to do things, which makes me feel like a nag. But, if I don't remind him, somethings would just never get done.
Sorry, just needed to vent a little!
