It's ok Chris, she's got to find us first - knowing Norfolk and Suffolk countryside, plenty of places to get her lost in from N. Walsham, Paston Street, Wroxham, the Elmhams, Mundford, Grimes Graves, Lynton, etc. etc.:upside:

Kidney stone? OUCH!!!
Pete

YES Pete it is ouch really painfull so cant do much on tiger today all i managded was to drill an fit the big 5 atteanas on the main supers struckure an 6winches on the deck what a poor effort

[GerryW]

Not good with the kidney stone - hope that you'll pass it without too much bother. :thumb2:
Yep - Grimes Granes is a fairly spooky place - looks very 'moon-ish' with shallow dips and craters on the surface, but it's the ones that are open for visitors that blow the mind - bearing in mind that it was THE place in the UK for top quality flint from the stone age through to when flintlock rifles stopped being used, and the two or three that are open were dug back in the stone age with just the antlers and shoulder blades of animals! https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/se...c92a&qo=navTop

So sorry to hear this Chris. I hope it passes and is not serious, so you can get back to normal shortly my friend. Also glad to see you have gotten the wiring troubles fixed and all 4 props are spinning again. I do think it is a little too late to mount up sails on her for the maiden voyage, especially if there is no wind... Please take care of yourself and best wishes to Jen.

Prost and Gute Besserung
Allen

Chris so sorry to read that you've been struck down with stones, hope you improve very soon .

I've had a word with Matron !
She was last seen getting onto her bike clutching a vary large bag marked Pump .

I spent a very pleasant week on the Broads some years ago , Stalham Market was like something out of the 16 th century , people bidding fiercely for some binder twine and chicken wire. Strange place and even stranger people :flushed:

Chris hope all is well soon my friend.

Sorry you are not well, Chris. I once had a kidney stone problem, it lasted just few hours, then the stone moved down towards its natural exit but I still remember those few hours as the most painful in my life.
For sure you Norfolk people are very tough: dealing with that problem for a week and a half and still trying to model! :thumb2:

My best wishes for a complete and fast recovery.
