Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Well everyone, it was nice to hear from you, gotta go now, but I will check back in when we get back if it is not too late.

After three months of kicking and screaming we finally got the doors, and floor armor plated.

Excellent! Our prayers will continue for more good things for you all!

Ice...it was (mostly) ice.

[Wneighbor]

I'm with you! The friends that I am with when I go to the games are what really make it fun for me. That is worthwhile for sure!

Hi OT!

After three months of kicking and screaming we finally got the doors, and floor armor plated.

Damn... well, I'm not there but that sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

As an aside... today I watched a presentation from one of our employees that is working in the field with SOF in Afghanistan. Somee interesting stories there. We're working with some guys there with "short-notice" (like "yesterday") requests for products that we basically have to deliver on the fly... some pretty cool stuff has been developed. Most of it is with our robotics stuff. But some of it has been other odd sorts of things like a special air-cooling uniform that seems to be a pretty big hit. There's some really interesting stuff headed your way.

[Ramius]

very upbeat you are ramius. :-)

That's me... always looking at the positive side of things...

[Wneighbor]

Hi!

[Ramius]

I wish I could talk about some of the robotics I saw in development in our [desert southwest] office.

Really FREAKING COOL this stuff was.

[Wneighbor]

That was just on my news here too!

[Wneighbor]

No fair! I want to see. AND you are being a tease!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Wanted to test my video capture capability... it worked! :)

[Wneighbor]

VEY cool Bear! I like it!

Say, what's Rose up to now? Did you tell her I wanted a fajita report?

[Ramius]

There's a thread on it. We've posted thereon...

She's studying for her A+ certification.

I had fajitas, she had the fajita meat in a big bowl of salad. Thumbs up from both of us! We used the pre-seasoned meat from HEB, by the way... just sliced it up and threw it into a pan. Worked well!

[Wneighbor]

Gee, our temp is supposed to be up to 60 tomorrow!!!

And then possible snow on Sunday. eeek.... Think I better plan on cooking some soup this weekend.
