Has anyone heard from Randy? He has not been on here since last Monday. Unusual for him.
What did you do today?
- Thread starter havasu
- Start date
Help Support Flooring Forum:
It 'tis the biggest holiday of the year, and the official end of summer. You sure wouldn't know it at my house.
Supposed to rain most of the weekend here. Too broke to do anything anyway.
Rusty, he wanted to do vinyl plank, but the floor is way too wavy for that & self-leveling flooring would have to be incredibly thick so he wants to go with an Armstrong tape down sheet vinyl. It will be about $200+ for the amount he needs though. I'm hoping that he can make up the hours to start getting ahead on his bills again and that he'll be able to start saving up for it. He recently got a raise, but he's had to miss a lot of work between being sick & the DCFS stuff. But, he now has an understanding with his ex that she better watch the kids bc DCFS has been alerted & he told her the kids will have mandatory counseling. Surprisingly, his ex didn't argue with that & said she thought it was a good idea.
I'm waiting for my friend to tell me when he wants to work on the cabinets again so I can help him. He also wants to build a railing on his front steps so my mother doesn't have so much trouble going up them. He's afraid she'll fall because she's stumbled a few times & we usually have to help her go up & down them.
I'm trying to figure out what to get my mother for dinner because my brother ate the leftovers again (without asking) but he did put the container in the sink. The leftovers were my plan for dinner but now I need to come up with something else. He used too much of the sour cream so I barely had enough for the stroganoff last night so I'm out. I've decided not to go to the store today bc my body needs to rest. I'll go tomorrow & grab more groceries.
Edit: I felt rested enough to actually be somewhat productive. I cleaned the toilet & filled all of the indoor pet waterers (not with the toilet water of course).

I hope Randy is ok.
I see he has still not posted
I see he has still not posted
Not since last Monday.
Anyone have his number to call him? (I'm not asking for it, just hoping someone here can call him & check on him to make sure he's ok).
I'm still feeling crappy from being sick. Lightheaded & brain is in sloth-mode. I went to the store & brought my friend's fiance. She is much faster & helped me at the self-checkout & helped me put stuff in the truck. I had to make a 2nd trip in to take her to the pharmacy to get my friend's grandfather's medicine. The old man wasn't up to driving & his son cut his foot & my friend was at work. He refused to give the girl gas money so she didn't have enough gas to make the trip & he really needed the medicine so I drove into town for it & spotted her some gas money afterward. She's going to come help me clean to make up for it later. She also stopped me from having a wreck bc my brain wasn't processing what my eyes were seeing so I didn't notice a car going straight when I was turning. She got me to stop in time. I really shouldn't have been driving but for now I'm back home trying to rest.

I have Randy's number. Probably call him tomorrow. Just hope he is OK.
I emailed Randy but havent heard back yet
I have his phone number but I think it is a land line, I thought if I ring Randy he would be asleep so sent a message which probably will not work to a land line
I will try to call him tomorrow.
I'm headed to Florida to help the Red Cross with Hurricane Dorian. I'll see ya all in 2-3 weeks
Talked to Randy on the phone for a couple hours. He is fine. Modem shot craps.
That’s good!I was worried about him.
Thats okay then
Rusty and Daris if you stop seeing emails from me start worrying
If he was closer I could give him a few old puters that are just siting here
I want to meet Randy I will have to get one more trip into Vegas while I am still working in that I can at least claim it tax wise as a bushiness trip before I throw flooring away. Getting tooooo old for this stupid game
Hav its great there are people like you who are able to help others in times of misfortune
Rusty, thanks for checking on him. I hope he can get a new modem soon. I miss seeing his posts.
I'm going to miss Havasu during the hurricane cleanup but hope it goes smoothly.
I just finished cooking stroganoff & am going to go over to help my friend pull his baseboards & set his cabinets in flush against the wall. Just waiting for him to get home from work to head over.

Spent a few hours working on my riding mower. It's only about 25 years old.
Great chatting with you Rusty. Sorry for making you guys get worried. I Know my lack of appearance is way out of the norm. Not a ton of work, but with my limited internet access, I've been spending it researching cab fixes for a friends old 1970 Camaro. It's been a nightmare figuring out what was wrong, but we got it 90$ whipped. He rebuilt the carb, so my job was figuring out what he done did to it............ we got what he done did, corrected, so on to fine tuning so he can return his pride and joy to the street now and then.
Hey Ern.............. 1970 Z28 with an LT1....... last year of the 11-1 compression. Car still looks like new, paint and interior too. 119,000 miles. Not bad for 50 years. Man, many years ago he had the engine rebuilt and added a blueprinted factory can, roller rockers and some coated Hooker headers, World products heads and a few other goodies. I can wait to get this thing off the jack stands. zoom zoom zoom.
