Default Losing my mechanic mojo. How do I stop it

So I've been realizing that I've lost some of my mechanic mojo over the years of being out of the trade. I completed my apprenticeship and was qualified for a year before chasing the $ and wanting to work closer to home. Its been a little over 10 years since I turned a spanner for cash and I'm noticing more and more that I can't remember some basic part names and my diagnostics are nearly shot. This really annoys me and I'd like to know if anyone else has been or is in the same boat and how can I get myself out of it. I want to be able to get out of this funk so I don't feel so stupid when some obvious **** is pointed out to me that I really should have known.

My text books were damaged by mice so I don't have them to glance over. Any ideas without spending hours on the computer googling stuff? I'm more than happy to read a book as I can do it at lunch at work etc. I know that I won't need retraining just a memory jog kinda thing
