Yes that's what I mean. If I were living on battery power I have to say I would have a tablet at the very least because net access through a mobile drives me potty. Incidentally I hear that a PC is more supportable if you have a solid-state hard drive which uses considerably less juice than the HDD variety. I do have a tablet but find the phone is usually ok. Someone must have edited my post which I find a bit disturbing. The screenshot tomos showed as being on my post does not correlate with either of my phones as the symbols at the top are wrong. And I do not use Imgur. So someone has either edited my post or edited the code of the image I attempted to link to. Very strange.

Hey guys BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING ha ha ha Mite aswell show you my new pad, not as a living pad but boat docking pad. I had to make this concrete pad 4-5 inch higher to raise up the lower area where the boat will sit. The cradle i made for Khashoggi will be used here and a set of blocks at the stern to support it. I have set the cradle positions apart just enough to be Bow heavy when the engine is lifted out so i can get the mould from the stern....i hope lol 17 days until it comes home Still worried that the artic will not get down the road, never mind them lift the boat under the telephone wires. . Tomorrow i will be taking out the wall and gate as the boat is a foot to long as it is. More tip runs

Overhead wires sounds like a bit of a headache.
Has the delivery man been made aware of this?

Overhead wires sounds like a bit of a headache. Has the delivery man been made aware of this? Yes but i am still worried lol. I sent him a video of the drive from half a mile to the house from main road and many pictures aswell as telling them what is where etc etc. Just me being a bit OCD maybe again.

That's a good comment patty. When I bought my most recent boat I took my old friend Paul with me (he is my senior marine consultant dad replacement unit who I have known for 28 years and counting) and on way back I said "the bloke selling it seemed happy". His answer was "you just bought his headache". That's a great line. ETA I was going to pop down to Rochester with him today but saw the light due to comments made my @nemesis about the nettles.

I like the attitude. If you could sell that I reckon you'd get rich ETA by "rich" I mean in cash terms. Obviously there are other ways to have a good time.

Us wimps have nothing but respect. I couldn't do it because I lack the necessary moral fibre. Plain and simple. Also I have rheumy fingers...

The eagle has landed Had last week off work so me n T had a few days on Khashoggi as it was her birthday and we needed a chill out. Then on Thursday gone i made sure the Norman would fire up, well a few turns and there she blows. Well chuffed with that engine. Anyway, Friday me and a mate chugged down to Garstang Marina in good time for the lift which all went well, i used the same chap/company as last time, daft not to at there prices. It was a bit of stress off loading as just before we got home with the boat i had a bloody haemerage and couldnt see out of one eye so i just got him to drop it roughly level, i will be leveling it out today as my sight is a little better and dont want to twist the shell to much as it is. Anyway, clean out today of all the rubbish and drill a drain hole and see about getting the engine out. In a week or two i will be fencing off the front of the drive and removing the gate to get a good work area once i clear the pound out.. off to play now So time to go play

They're probably all hoping to jump on the boat when the biblical floods come.
