Hey suity, we all sincerely want doodab to get better, but he's accepted the reality of his situation, so the least we must do is try and do the same.

I have. Now. I have not coped well with it. Totally ridiculous, given I am not the one going through it. Totally ridiculous. I am not equiped. I met Doodab once in Munich. Folks say I am nice, he is just as. If not better. Probly better.

This ....... I'm sorry, can't.

Sorry Doodab for dragging this from PMs. My heart is in the right place, and I am willing to jeopardise the SY account for it. Xx.

Incidentally a friends mum (hindu, not sure why that's relevant) had colon cancer, inoperable.

She refused chemo, and treated herself through diet. She is now in remission and teaches in hospitals. He faith was a big part of her cure she says.

Her details were immediately offered.

Big pharmas want to sell you drugs. I know that pneumonia is treatable with a few simple steps, and required no antibiotics. She knows 'incurable' cancer is treatable (at least for her) through her programme.

And she isn't making money. She is just a regular schmo.

I apologise beyond reserve to Doodab who will surely read this, but this lady IS worth talking to. I know I approached you once, and this approach is crass and bannable, but please at least get in touch with this lady. If she can give you 6 months on top of chemo, it's worth eating some weird tulip, surely?

Sorry. I just had to get that out there, because I care, and I truly, truly think this needs to be explored, if even just a phone call. The Indian folks do seem to know a thing or too.

Incidentally, while I think of it I am expert in shifting chest infections quickly and without antibiotics.

I had to do this years ago with my first bout of pneumonia the doctors said was 'not treatable' and would 'have to run its course'.

I am expert now and have had numerous chest infections, never once treated with antibiotics.

When this bout of pneumonia struck I knew exactly the symptoms, didn't panic, and when through my own abcs.

Now I am on the mend. Still a lot of crap on the lung to clear, but the infection is dealt with so the pain and fever has gone.

Seriously PM me for details if you have frequent persistent chest infections of a loved one has, I have some good simple advice which is far more effective that any antibiotics, in my experience.

I know.

Was feeling better a wee bit. Steamy shower with t-tree oil is a huge pick me up.

Tea tree - isn't that for nits?

Cold night air isn't going to do your pneumonia any favours.

That's a sure sign that it's time to go back to the Balvenie, practice in daylight.
Have fun with the new toy tomorrow....

Reckon your right.

For an example of the instruction anomalies, it tells you to orient the counter weight in the horizontal plane, yet all pictures of it in service show the c u n t in the vertical plane. Yet no step in the instructions to tell you to swivel the weight 90 degrees.

All instructions followed to the ******* letter.

Sight of a star, but the scope keeps sagging even though 'balanced' as per the instructions.

Now a snapping sound and a bit of plastic fell off

[RSoles]

Normal operation is to set the clamps up so that there's enough friction to keep the telescope still, .

and only just enough, so you can slew the 'scope and it'll stay where put.

[RSoles]

There will be three adjustments,
1) the lattitude one you set up once and forget.

then
2) RA, to allow 'scope to track east-west, on the axle which runs north/south.
3) declination, how far south what you want to look at is from the north star,
that's the axle with the counterweight on.

Normal oeration is to set the clamps up so that there's enough friction to keep the telescope still, then rotate it around the RA axle to follow the star's (whatever's) apparent track across the sky.

Christmas pudding hat installed.

Balvenie poured.

Let's rock

So, can you see them yet?

[suityou01]

So long as everything is properly attached, and the clamps release to let it swing N-S and E-W under control, no problem.

Remember not to look directly at the sun, or leave it so that it's pointing at the sun. Not that that will be a problem at the mo.

Which clamps

It told me to tighten the RA clamp when the counter weight was balanced
