Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may 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...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...
• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Gooooooood morning all!

We are gonna going out for some pancakes... or waffles... or maybe an omelette. Be back in a while.

Speedo moot

[300winmag]

I've been remiss in that, I've had his address for about 2 weeks and forgot him!

Send me his address, and I can mail a knife out Monday. I'm still waiting for the snips I ordered, so I can't send one with the knife. How are the two dozen I sent you holding out?

[Wneighbor]

Ohhhh!!! Get me an omelette will ya! With LOTS of salsa to go with it!

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeesh! - Quiet morning here! - We are already back!

Had pancakes and eggs and sausage and bacon.

I'd fit into that wedding dress in June if it wasn't for ecurbh's ideas ;~D

[Wneighbor]

Not SPEEDO Moot!

Just plain SPEED MOOT!!!

We know where your mind is now!!! LOL

[Wneighbor]

I used 1 dozen of the 2 dozen in the packages I just mailed. Like with that first bunch of knives I don't like to put too many in one package cause I don't trust somebody not to take it for them. I know, I'm not very trusting.

[300winmag]

I know, I'm not very trusting.

I don't blame you. I trusted the post office with 24 knives once, and look where it got me (and the troops).

[JenB]

I'm skipping Speedo Moot.

G'morning. Only it's afternoon. And I've got homework to do. I'll be in and out.

[Wneighbor]

I don't blame you. I trusted the post office with 24 knives once, and look where it got me (and the troops).

Did you ever hear anymore about the insured part of that? Did they ever honor *anything?*

I still haven't dug out Jay's address yet. That was the reason I forgot him yesterday, I printed the address at work and put it somewhere ????? And if you saw my house right now you'd understand that better! LOL It's either in one of the three briefcases I carry or my bag for my laptop. Will freepmail it to you when I get it.

[300winmag]

Did you ever hear anymore about the insured part of that? Did they ever honor *anything?*

Dunno yet. They said investigation would take "several months". I hope to eventually hear something from them one way or another.

And kind of insurance claim for shipping is nororiously hard to win. We used to ship computer via FedEx, insured. One came in all smashed to pieces, obviously run over (several times) by a truck. FedEx sent their claims rep to look at it, and make a report. Months later, we called on the claim, and they said, "it's our fault, we're not going to pay for it, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Pony this morning sleeping on her breakfast, till I got too close and she popped up.

I am looking at methods on line to teach her some tricks.... like to bow. She's too little for me to ride, but maybe she can do something! She is a natural contortionist, if only I can get her to make a few of her funny positions on command.

[Wneighbor]

Oh!!! The race is on here too!!! And I've almost got the food just to the sit and simmer point!

[Overtaxed]

Green! Green! Green!

[JenB]

Hmmm... pony trainin', is it? You'll have to keep us posted on your progress.

[Wneighbor]

Okay, I've only been kinda sorta watchin' since the caution on lap 2. Anything important I missed?

Dang I like the look of that racetrack!

[Fedora]

G'd'ftr'n'n (that's my afternoon extrapolation from "G'morning" :) How's the homework going? Hey, this must be almost your last homework assignment!!! :)

[Wneighbor]

That would be fun to do, teaching the pony tricks! I am sure it will take a lot of time and effort but really fun.

[Overtaxed]

Just drive fast, turn left. They've already lapped some cars. A Wallace hasn't wrecked yet. :)

[Wneighbor]

A Wallace hasn't wrecked yet. :)

Well that's something! Perhaps this will be a good clean race crash-wise.
