Shazmira Posted May 21, 2014 Author #62 Posted May 21, 2014 Okay, just so people don't think I have given up I thought I better put out a bit of an update. School finally ended last week!!!! Then I needed to put my garden back in for the third time Hail took it out once, I replanted, and then a week later we had 3 nights of hard freeze that wiped it out again . But now hopefully the third time will be the charm, and everything will survive. I got a bit carried away, last year my garden was only 16 x 16 and contained tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and cantaloupe. This year it is 30 x 65 and I added potatoes, onions, radishes, dill, leaf lettuce, and sweet corn to everything from last year, plus tripled what I planted last year. I will hopefully have a very busy fall getting everything canned, but I am looking forward to the challenge. Now, as for boat building, I have been progressing with the planking, since there is only a single layer, I am taking my tie and trying to get this done right, I know most of it will be covered with copper plates, but IF I really like how it looks I might just forego the coppering, we will have to wait and see. I would love to post pics, but my laptop seems to have contracted a virus of some sort so I can't use it right now. I will take it to my IT dept. and have them wipe it clean and reload everything, but until then I only have my school laptop and cannot load the software for my camera on it. Pictures will have to wait until after the first of June. I will be leaving on vacation this Sat. we are riding down to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and then riding back up through Colorado and will be gone for a week. I begin teaching summer session once we get back, so I will be able to get my laptop in to the IT dept at that time.

augie Posted May 21, 2014 #63 Posted May 21, 2014 Good to hear from you! Just had a tornado and hail scoot by about 2 miles south. What a year!!!! Your approach to the planking is top notch, Robbyn. By doing a super job you'll give yourself options as to copper or not. Now those are the kinds of choices you want to be making. I look forward to your updates when you get back. Have a great trip!!!!! mtaylor 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

Shazmira Posted June 8, 2014 Author #70 Posted June 8, 2014 Hi all, I am back from a wonderful vacation, then sorry to say I spent the next 5 days in the hospital with pneumonia! Got released Thursday, but have felt so bad I have done nothing at all, just finally getting around today to doing all the laundry that accumulated, and I find that exhausting. To top it off, I woke up Saturday morning to a right hand that will not function normally, can't grip anything or move my thumb without causing intense pain. I am wondering if I contracted some sort of infection from the IV line that was placed in that hand, I guess I will have to go back to the doctor on Monday and see what is going on. Vacation was good, saw a lot of beautiful sights and country, still have to say Colorado provides much more in the way of scenery than New Mexico. Had a bit too much excitement the last three days, travelling in the mountains on motorcycles in the rain and sleet was NOT particularly fun and there were a couple of mishaps. We managed to keep all our bikes upright, but on one dangerous stop did lose a helmet down the side of a mountain. Traveling over the continental divide in 34 degree temps, wearing no coats is also not recommended! Seriously think that is where I contracted the pneumonia. All in all, the company was good, the sights were grand, and I would do it all again! Now, seriously hoping the hand will shape up so I can get back to making sawdust! Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, Craig came through with a new beautiful pair of chaps for me, looking forward to wearing them on our next trip to Estes in July!

Shazmira Posted June 8, 2014 Author #77 Posted June 8, 2014 Sam, yes, sorry to say it is the same hand that I unjured last year. Stupid thing never regained full mobility, but everything except the pinky finger was working well enough. I really don't know what the heck is going on with it. It is not swollen, or feverish. I just can't move the thumb without intense pain, or try to lift any weight with the hand at all. Doing nothing and it still screams at me in pain. I don't get it, I didn't hurt it in any way Augie, yes, many ways to die in the west...actually thought it was going to happen to my friend when she couldn't get stopped on the slick road and almost went off the side of the mountain on her bike...the helmet was a small loss! As for fumes, well I do have my respirator for that since I already have such an issue with the CA lol augie 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

lamarvalley Posted August 12, 2014 #83 Posted August 12, 2014 Robbyn, Goodness gracious lady, it has been quite awhile since this vessel got much attention. I might hold the record for inactivity but still... Hopefully it is the horror of repetitious planking that is keeping work to a minimum rather than an angry pinkie. To date, the Syren looks great!

jo conrad Posted January 18, 2015 #84 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Hallo Robbyn, I know I´m rather late for this thread, and I hope of course you are well again meanwhile, but I may throw in some remarks yet: 1. did your doctors carry out a research for borrelia-antibodies or even antigens? You´d find symptoms like yours with a borreliosis, aka lyme disease 2. a small dislocation of one or two cervical disks would cause similar problems . After your cold, wet and scorching trip through the tick-ridden south both possibilities would be in line for your symptoms. All the best for you Germanus Edited January 18, 2015 by jo conrad Quote
Shazmira Posted January 25, 2015 Author #85 Posted January 25, 2015 I apologize for my absence. I have been here, just not building atm. I had to deal with my mother's illness and subsequent death, and now the ship yard is in the process of being built, but at the same I am gutting the 100 y/o farm house we bought. Doing this room by room, kitchen is in the process now, and as I wait for things like sheet rock mud to dry etc, I step into the dry dock to get it built. Tough to do while working 60-70 hours a week. I still check in everyone's builds, and occasionally make a comment or two, but that is the best I can give right now. augie, avsjerome2003, Piet and 16 others 19 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!
