Hi guys,

I will be posting here, but probably won't be doing much in the shop for the next 1 to 2 weeks. I had some surgery today and the doc would have my ears if I did anything serious that could screw up his nice work in that time. I'm limited to lifting less that 10 lbs for the next week or so and no more than 25 lbs for a couple of weeks after that. I'm pretty sore and don't feel much like it right now anyway, that's certain. I may be able to fly this weekend if I can get someone to carry my flight box.

Randy,

We have never met, but I feel that I know you from reading your posts "here and there".......

Take care of your "bod" and heal quickly. We need to have you around for a good long time (like a Tootsie Roll).

Cheers,
Jim

Randy,
Best wishes (and prayers) for your recovery. If you're limited to 5 pounds that means you can't carry my stunt ship to the circle for me!

Many blessings,
Will

Get well soon Randy, I know the feeling about the ten pound limit also...
Thanks again for the info on paints, it sure will come in handy...

Randy, met you in person at VSC and read all of your posts here on this forum. I missed somewhere that you were having surgury, but, I hope all goes well and remember to follow the doctors orders. See ya down the road, DOC Holliday

Randy,
Get well soon!!! Don't try and do too much, take it slow.

And Will, I will have you know that I am the one around these here parts that builds heavy planes. I have the Heavy Weight Title.......... Flotes like a bee and stings like a butterfly.

Hi Randy,

Lots of jokes come with the statement that you can't lift anything over ten pounds. I'm sure you've heard most of them. So!!!!! I won't remind you of any of them, Don't want you to start laughing. I'm looking forward to your report of the up coming flight and how the changes work out on your new toy. I thought you would have chimed in on the price of a new toy but maybe your better half reads the forum. (Best to play it safe and not list the prices of all the items you use.) Scouts honor we wouldn't tell her, HONEST!!!!! I'll be praying for you but I don't think the face lift will stay. God Bless, Gary

If you can't carry your flight box you probably can't handle my new tank either.

Sheesh Randy, when you said you were cutting & patching your, uh, leadout guide I ASSUMED it was on the Shoestring. Never dreamed it was.. oh heck, nevermind.

Sounds like you can still do 12 oz. curls, just catch up on your SN's, SNL's, and MLB!

Randy Cuberly · « **Reply #12 on:** July 01, 2008, 04:48:57 PM »

Hey Randy,
Sorry to hear that the butchers got to cuttin' on you. It's happened to me several times also....Maybe it's the name. Hmmmmm.
Oh well you'll be fit in no time just do what the "sawbones" says.
Surely you don't have any airplanes that weigh more than 10 lbs?

I'm the only one that can build that heavy.
Incidentally, I've found that about four fingers of good scotch is a darn good pain killer.....

Take good care of yourself Pal We'd all miss ya'...

So...... 'ol Randy's out of commission for a while. Gives me the chance to get a jump on him in the shop. When he decides to build something, nobody can keep up. Gives me a complex.

Get well soon.

Bill Gruby · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2008, 06:17:26 PM »

Sorry to hear about the surgery Randy. Do as the "Doc" tells ya and you will be fit in no time. God Speed my friend.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2008, 10:09:12 PM »

Thanks for all the nice words. I feel like I've been in a bar fight. And Ty is right, I can lift a bit (the 10lbs noted), but it's the sneezing or coughing that just gets you. I managed to sit on a stool in the shop for a bit and tinker with the new PA plane. Couldn't really do much, but I squared away a couple of small things. When I can stand for more than 10 minutes, I'll start on the fillets. Man, you forget how much it can hurt when you're just sitting there. Then you start to get up and Whew!

Bill Little · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2008, 11:56:44 PM »

I can't believe you are just sitting there......... you know what the Coaches use to always say: "If it's more than 6 inches from you heart, you'll live", "If a bone ain't stickin' out, you're fine", "If the cut ain't squirtin' blood, you're ok"..........

Seriously (did I just say THAT??) do whatever the Doctors say. They have been *practicing* so long, maybe they will get it right...... I asked my Doctor the other day about when he was gonna quit practicing and play the game.......

Bill,

Hey, I'm listening. Last week, I told my office, oh, it's just a minor deal. I should be back to work the next day. Yea, right. I had thought that I would be far enough along by this point that I could go back tomorrow, but clearly, I'm not ready yet. Oh well, they'll just have to do without me for another day. As my doctor said, you're not 25 anymore. It takes awhile to heal.

Richard Grogan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2008, 01:27:11 AM »

Randy,
We dont know each other but, besides the pain, enjoy the down time and listen to the Doc's stuff! Rock On and back to building when you're ready!Take care man!
