Randolph Machine

Going to Greystone Tavern after work at 4:30 on Wednesday before Thanksgiving for some drinks. Hope to see some Randolph Machine friends along with my new shop friends at Main And Company. Miss all of my friends that I've made over the years at Randolph Machine. Anybody I know is invited.

Randolph Machine Spieth and Satow

The first hardest thing I've ever posted was the loss of my daughter, Sherry. The 2nd, the loss of my Dad. The 3rd, the auction of my shop. I am NOT ok through this. This sucks so bad, most will never understand it. Not even my family understands. So far, I've tried to drink myself to death with Fireball......but I'm strangely resilient and keep waking up anyway. I spent a lifetime acquiring all of that stuff. I will sell it on September 24th for mere pennies of what it cost me....and it kills me. On top of that, I will owe taxes on every penny.... adding that to the astronomical bill I already owe and will literally never be able to pay off. All because I had the balls to try ....and fail at running my own business.

Randolph Machine auction is September 24th..... a lifetime of tools being sold.

I've had some people reach out, and I'm beginning to feel a little bit better about our situation. It's possible that we might yet land on our feet.

Donna and I were hit with some devastating news a week or so ago. The building that we have Randolph Machine in is owned by the city, and the city has made the decision that all of the tenants must be vacated from the building by September 30th. We are not in a position financially to be able to move, so it is time to move on. We're really not sure what we are going to do at this point. I am open to selling the business (but it would have to be moved), I'm also open to finding work somewhere. I will have to do something, as I'm not old enough to do social security yet....but old enough where starting over was not really in my plans. We've put 18 years of blood, sweat and tears into this shop. I have many memories. Worked with some great friends and family that are no longer with us. We've done a lot of amazing things and have worked for some really great customers. I wish I had been more successful at it.The reason I am posting this, is not to gain sympathy....but hoping that through networking, maybe a solution will present itself.
