The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

Good morning happy campers!

Izzit time to come home yet?

Sat through a profoundly bored meeting - 8 hours worth - and contemplated trying to pop my eyeballs out of my head. I have another one today. We have absolutely no input in this meeting (unlike yesterday) but my management orcses said, "We will be represented!" So I'm gonna sit there. Am thinking about sneaking in a book, which would be rude but would represent my management orcses very well!

Military towns and pseudo-military towns like Huntsville are a real hoot food-wise. I ate Vietnamese for lunch yesterday (something meat and veggies on rice in a clay pot) and German (jagerschnitzel sp???) for dinner. Who knows what they'll drag me along to today! :)

Definately don't need that coat I packed. :)

Good morning!

It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing! Still only a coupla inches, but we had a coupla inches the other day and a few days before that...so it's starting to almost add up! I'd still like a big storm, but this isn't bad...

Lil - German food? *whimper* That's what I miss most about that assignment. Big time.

Didn't get much done in the way of work on the office last night on account of it was music night, but spackling seems to be done as is most of the sanding, and I went over most of the walls with a damp sponge to get rid of any dust. If we can get masking tape up tonight, we may be applying the primer stuff! That's pretty exciting, really. It's got color to it, though it's not really regular paint...I've been looking at wallboard for what seems like forever, so that'll be neat! We should be done painting by the beginning of next week, and then...I can call the realtor. *bites nails*

Today would be Mom's birthday.

Mmmm is right!

I had eggs with red bell peppers and onions and pepper cheese. Still good. But I do miss German food! We have almost NO ethnic restaurants around here. Mostly diners - some of them serve wonderful stuff, but it'll be nice to be somewhere with more variety!

Well now that I'm going to be traveling frequently, I have to find a way to stay on the diet and get some pounds off. But the temptations! Like dinner last nite. I did good with the side salad and cucumber salad. The meat was only lightly breaded. It was verrrry good. But I'm in NM next week. It would be heresey to go to NM and not eat Mexican food!

*sigh*

I still haven't gotten back to dieting. Hard when so much else is going on.

*sigh*

I need to set a date to start and then be really strict with myself.

Thanks, guys. It's gotten a bit easier, but the milestones are still rough.

I know.

March 23. August 1.

It's okay to grieve Rosie. It's okay to cry. Never feel bad about that. Just don't let it consume you. But you know that.

We're here for you.

Good morning! Lil...you're German food talk has got my stomach growling! Yager Schnitzel (sp? LOL) is my all time favorite German dish.

It's snowing Rosie? Is it pretty? Think of this!

My mom's is coming up Feb 1.

If she were alive, I'd feel pressured right now.... "aw geez, what am I gonna get mom? Birthday's comin' up." Right now I'd just like to take her out to dinner.

Our town's schools are closed today, as is Joseph's private school. It started snowing about 3 am, and will go on all day long. We're expecting another 3-5" in addition to the 17 or 18" we got on Sat-Sun.

I took some pics the other day after SSQ had plowed the driveway, but haven't gotten them uploaded to York yet. I'll have to take a picture while this snow is coming down. It's really pretty.

I've had an email conversation with Steve this morning...here it is...

Kim in Tulsa Wednesday, January 26, 2005 8:01:18 AM

The code P0420 (Pea Zero Four Two Zero) is mentioned a bit here...might need a sensor changed or a catalyst.

I guess I am more worried about you guys riding around on bald tires Let's spend 120 $ on those and I'll gladly address that blasted check engine light.

Ha ha!

Ok, the other trouble code is for the CPS...the camshaft position sensor. This appears to possibly be an electrical problem (which may be related to our fuse blowing situation?)

Trouble code for it is P0340

But you're right, none of it seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Still, Chilton's explains how to fix 'em.

Oh, we heard that sometimes you can reset the "Check Engine" light by disconnecting the battery. So we tried that. It didn't work, but do you remember me saying my brake light kept coming off and on? Well, while I was watching Steve disconnect the battery, I noticed a little resevoir...it said Brake Fluid on it and had a line on the side, I pointed out to Steve that there was only a scant amount of fluid in the bottom of thing...no where near the line. He looked at me rather appalled and said "That might be a problem" and left right then to AutoZone and got some brake fluid. Filled it up to the line...no more brake light!
