The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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 got my classic VW catalog from JC Whitney!! Hubby saw it and just shook his head and smiled. He said "Well, it never hurts to dream!"

It's fun to look at!

Also, Rosie's been doing South Beach...I bet she's lost some weight in her feet.

I'm doing South Beach too.

But I've got REALLY big feet...

I like the look of the spray kind.... I wonder if it would hold up, or chip and scratch when you are chucking firewood into it.

I have the drop in kind in mine. Dad has no liner, He cuts plywood to fit the floor of the bed and replaces it every few years...

My dad's got the spray in, I've been quite impressed with how well it has help up to hard use, lumber, equipment, gravel, cedar stumps and the like.

I just had a cut chunk of plywood for ol' Buck, but there wasn't much point in protecting him.

I'm not likely to be hauling firewood...not until somebody gives me an extra $3,000 to fix our chimney anyway.

The sales person at the truck toy store said the spray in was pretty durable. Bus she also mentioned "touch up" or repair. She was thinking if I'm going to have it for a while I should do the spray in. And that's what the dealer was recommending too.

I gotta do something. I've already dinged the wheel well. Had a propane tank that wasn't secured. I pulled out of the parking lot and it went rolling across...sigh...at least it's not visible from the outside.

Spray in is a little more spendy.

See... I would picture my dad getting the spray in kind, and then putting plywood on the floor to protect the protectant ;~D

Well, it is a truck. You'll look like a city slick-faker if you have ~no~ dings inside the bed.

Just about everyone else in this town ~is~ a city slick-faker. I actually got a truck because I have use for one.

But I would've preferred to wait a few more weeks for the first ding.
