Rhino?

[04FXSTS]

Havent heard anything from our friend Rhino for a few weeks now, just not like him to dissapear like that. Even tried a PM a few days ago and nothing. Jim.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, it's showing that his last activity was 3 weeks ago. Hope all is okay!

 

[cbhausen]

He texted me Thanksgiving and Christmas greetings. I just texted him a link to this thread.

 

[04FXSTS]

He and I don't live close so I don't see him that much but still consider him a great friend. Met him years ago shooting IDPA before he had to give up IDPA because of a shoulder problem. We spent many days on the range and he is always a treat to shoot with. We normally stay in touch here by PM but don't know and am hoping he is well. Jim.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Hopefully he's just been busy over the holidays and with his studies.

 

[Tactically Fat]

He's texted me randomly over the last few weeks.

I think his temp working gig is overnight hours.

 

[cbhausen]

Rhino is doing OK. Just really busy. He gave me permission to copy and paste this text to INGO:

“Hi, Cary! I'm doing well, but I'm so busy I don't have time for ingo or tv. The temp job at the warehouse in Plainfield is 2nd shift plus overtime and I'm still not adjusting well to accommodating that and my part time job, plus the two classes I'm taking. And I was sick and missed an entire week of work/pay the week of New Year's day. Still hunting a "permanent" full time job too. Sleep is a precious commodity now, but you can relate since you have to wrangle twins!”

I’m sure we’ll see him back here when things settle down.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear he's doing well.

 

[GregD]

I had been wondering where he was. Glad he is OK.

 

[femurphy77]

Yeah he hasn't been approving any of the Hot Chicks Fishing entries, I was beginning to think my standards had dropped compared to his!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

He texted me Happy New Year.

I mocked him without mercy.

 

[04FXSTS]

Really glad I decded to start this subject now that it turns out to be pretty good news. Jim.

Hi, all!

Thank you all very much for the concern and for caring! I apologize for dropping out with no explanation, but I did not intend for it to happen. I got very busy with the job I had and missed a few days, which turned into a few more, and eventually INGO was no longer on my "things to do today" list. I humbly apologize to the family and community and I shall endeavor to avoid such inconsiderate behavior in the future.

As an update, I learned on 01/16 that my project was de-funded, the contract was cancelled four months early, and my last night on the job was 01/18/2020. The upside is that my schedule is more flexible now since I only have my part time job and one class I am taking. The downside is that the first significant income I had since 11/02/2018 is gone and I'm back to job seeking.

From the Rhino Irony Department, I decided to be ambitious and take two classes this semester. During the first week of classes, I realized that with working 2nd shift plus overtime, plus my part time thing, plus two classes, I wasn't going to function well. So on 01/15/2020, I dropped the second class. That was one day before I was informed my primary job was toast. IRONY!

Anyway, it's unlikely that I'll be spending much time here in the near future. I am going to devote most of my attention to actively seeking a job. I shall return when I am able!

Happy New Year!

Good luck Rhino! We're all pulling for you

 

[KellyinAvon]

Good luck to you Rhino!

 

[Cameramonkey]

Good luck, buddy. Take care and dont be a stranger!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Who shall we mock until he gets back? This sucks. It's like there's a hole in my black little soul....

 

[deo62]

If it helps, I cut my hand putting salt in the softener.

He texted me last night.

He said he's worried that his transvaginal mesh is failing. So - pray for Rhino.
