Staghound 1850 by rwiederrich - 1/96 - Extreme Clipper

[rwiederrich]

Went to the ER again and got another CT scan.  Looks like I have a left kidney stone as well and….. it looks like both are ready to enter the bladder and pass.   I sure hope so…… I’ve been in so much pain pain the last two months.  The end is near!

Rob,

"May you pass with flying colors!" 😉

[rwiederrich]

Finished up the poop companionway.

[rwiederrich]

Well....I actually finished the structure...but I still needed to add the trim to really clean it up....so it is as smart as the skylight.

Still struggling with these kidney stones.  Soon, the DR says....soon.   I might be dead by then.

 

Pushing forward.........

Thanks Rick.      2 months of writhing pain is hard to cope with.....but I am hopeful the end is near.

Rob, pain just sucks.... Suffering for two months, you have my sympathies. By any chance, did you find anything useful in the supplement link I shared? They're supposed to help dissolve kidney stones.

Finished the trim on the aft companionway.

I did Rich.  Mostly preventative. I need these terrorists out now.   Thanks

Tied the boats down for a heavy sea.

[Jared]

Sorry to hear about your painful problem.  Best wishes.

[rwiederrich]

Worked on the mizzen fife rail.  
Rob

[rwiederrich]

Finished it up.   
 

Rob

[rwiederrich]

Began the main fife rail.  With turned stanchions. 
 

Ron

[rwiederrich]

Another. 
 

Rob

[rwiederrich]

Finished rail and now I’m working on the pump.

@rwiederrich she's coming along nicely. I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks Rich.  I’ve been prescribed a liquid stone resolver called “StoneCrusher”.  It’s supposed to aid in dissolving the terrorists.  We’ll see how that works.   
Im happy how Staghound is coming along.   I’ll make the fore fife rail ……. Then head back aft  to work on finishing up the poop deck details.  
 

Rob

[FriedClams]

Very Nice work, Rob!  I hope the "StoneCrusher" provides some relief.

Rob, Here's a toast to "Stone-Crusher" living up to its name!

@rwiederrich that is huge news! Congratulations! Only someone who's had the trauma of bearing chronic pain for months can truly grasp the momentous relief being pain free can be. I wish that experience on nobody else. Don't be surprised if you feel a little more tired than usual. Nurses informed me that's a person's body's normal reaction to stress relief of no longer suffering. Now you can relax again.

[BANYAN]

That's great news mate.  Hope all continues to go well.

 

cheers

Thanks everyone for the fine well wishes and encouragement.  Pain free for over two days....I feel ready to get back into the shipyard.  Onto the fore fife rail.

Once done with all the fife rails....I will go back to the stern and begin adding another layer of details, moving forward.  This way I can keep track of the individual details without having to go back and add them later when it is less advantageous.  Namely; bumpkins, cleats, bits, mooring howes, hand rails, and a myriad of eyebolts and their purchase blocks. ( Boom braces, foot of masts and such).

So much to plan for and pre-think out.

@rwiederrich not to be a royal "pita" but I just wanted to remind you not to forget those pesky "cavils" that Michael Mjelde insisted upon and that the McKay bollards are wooden posts seperated by a low connecting bar as can almost be completely seen in the sailor's pic.

I'm all over that Rich...Those mooring howes, I mentioned......several of them are opposite the cavil's fairleads.  I have all four located and they will all be addressed in my *from stem to stern* approach.  Just inboard of them will be the double wooden bits.   I will not be addressing the forecastle any time soon.....that will get its own attention, all by itself, .....at a later appointment.

 

Thanks for keeping me honest......and reminding me of past wrestle-ings.  Staghound was McKay's first clipper.....so I am sure she had plenty of robust wooden mooring fixtures.

Rob, by the way, it's a huge relief to know you're maintaining pain free. That's wonderful news indeed.
