The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

I don't particularly care where we go or what we do.... but I thought ya'll were supposed to be trying to prove to me that you had better burgers up there. Guess you've conceded to Texas burgers! :-D

Miss you too, my friend!

Hey Wn...Steve checked my oil...put two quarts in. Wah-lah! No more swinging oil indicator needle!

But it's still sounding aweful. Squealing like mad. I'm pretty sure it's a belt. We took it in to KC auto this evening, dropped the key in the mail shoot.

My dad lent me his truck, g'nad! That great big diesel truck! I feel like I'm driving a great big yacht down the street!! Like a gnat on an elephant!

Have him meet us at E-9 -- easy to get to and we can buy him some great cask-conditioned brew for his service.

A gazillion places to get clams around here. Steamers is a block from me, you can eat a whole bucket full of them there.

Of course, it's too late for me to say that the instant temporary repair for a squeaky belt is to soap it up. :-)

But, if it's squeaky, you do need it checked.

Oil is important 2J. Gotta keep that level up. VEY important. :-)

What's all this concession stuff? We've just got so many choices around here that a person can't get their mind made up.

Holy smokes... are there ever clams to be had. Clams like nobody's bidness.

Yes. Steamers has wonderful clams. Somee of the best on the planet. It stops trains. Literally... there's a train track that runs nearby and periodically the train will STOP there and the engineer will get out and run up to Steamers, get a big order of seafood to go, and jump back up in the train and move it on out again. I kid you not.

Another place that we may likely hit at one time or another is the Harbor Inn, in GH. They have a "pound of clams" in a butter and garlic sauce that is absolutely TO DIE FOR.

You're gonna have to discuss that with Ramius. There is 'sposed to be that other thing on Friday evening - for a short time I think. Don't know if it's still on or not.
