avion Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 I didn't want to interrupt the follow the shoe thread anymore, so I thought to share XDotNets great suggestion of "I just thought, if you do share Norms information, those who benefit from it could do a random act of kindness to honor Norms contribution to the game and post it here". So I give all the credit to XDotNet for his great suggestion. So the last two days I did that, in cleaning and detailing a 5th wheel mobile home for a 76 yr. old widow that lives on social security. I did not charge one penny for this, did all the work by myself in memory of Norm. The woman this was done for was very grateful. So, I will post a few pictures, and yes I am exhausted, but it was so worth it. Her entire home on the outside looked nasty so I am including the before pictures here.....and the after pictures next post. 2 Quote
avion Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Posted October 15, 2016 The are the after pictures......much better. But still a nasty scratch on the front from a tree limb that scraped it from the recent storm. 4 Quote
avion Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Posted October 15, 2016 The roof had quite a few small tree limbs from the storm on it, and there were a few small holes in the roof that needed to be patched. And the roof needed a cleaning and also to have two coats or elastomeric with silicone in it to help seal any leaks, and also help reflect the uv rays of the sun. 4 Quote
avion Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Posted October 15, 2016 Her car....had the same nasty green mold on it and needed a good cleaning and detail. I had to borrow a neighbors carport, as it was raining a bit today. Washed, polished and put a mirror shine glaze finish on it, and then waxed it. Headlight covers made of plastic get deteriorated like hers in Florida due to uv rays of the sun. Not safe to drive at night with them, especially at her age, so I restored them to almost new. She also leaves her windows open and the inside needed a good cleaning. She promised she would close her windows from now on. Random act of kindness done.....in memory of Norm, and again all the credit goes to XDotNet for his great suggestion. So now back to the really hard work.....baccarat. 3 Quote

XDN Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Avion you are an inspiration! I've been swamped lately but i'll get to mine as well. This is the best thing if read/seen in a long time. Well done sir!! Quote
avion Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Thank you XDotNet....truly it was your suggestion that went straight to my heart. It was a perfect suggestion on your part, to not only honor the name and memory of Norm, but to also benefit someone through a random act of kindness. You "planted the perfect seed" in me. Let me explain a little bit and I think you will understand even more why your suggestion hit home with me. For the most part, when I see a "natural disaster tragedy", like a tornado devastating an area, or a cyclone or hurricane, or flood, or earthquake, for some reason unknown to me I immediately feel very strongly that I want to go and help those people in any way that I can. It wouldn't matter to me what I do, I just want to go and help them in their time of loss and need. Of course that requires finances to be able to travel where ever that happens. It has always been a motivation to me in the possibility that earning the means to do so, through baccarat would be the vehicle to do help to do that. Yes I have to take care of me first, as no one can give to someone what they don't have. Still my needs I have made as simplistic as possible. Example of that would be I am an enthusiast for the tiny home concepts. Needs met and living as simplistic as possible, along with being debt free. I could go on about it.....but I am also aware of time being very precious for everyone. Thank you again XDotNet......and like Pando and I discussed several times.....you never know how it will positively affect someone in what you share until you do.
