The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

What a charming individual.

Instant karma's a b*tch, buddy.

You probably have enough storage space in the horse trailer. Think about getting a hydraulic jack with enough lift for either the truck or trailer.

Bear, we're in the chat place. Sort of chatting along with the movie, sort of being silly.

I have the most beautiful 2 ton floor jack, I used to carry it around with me all the time in the back of the truck, but not in the recent past.

We also decided it would be good to have a few blocks of wood in the back of the truck.

I got booted out by General Chat again.

I'm too tired to think about re-booting to get back in there, so I'll see you all later.

I laughed so much in there! You all are the best!

Good night!

Hair & Ecurbh - mishap? alternative title 'An adventure in the woods - All's well that ends well.'

The woods remind me of Oregon, talll timber. A truly magnificent sight.

I'll second Winmag's jack comment and raise you all one. A Handy-man Bumber Jack or Fence Post jack depending on its use at that moment is an excellent tool, when used correctly. Those jacks have a lot of lifting power and height. The base is fairly small so placing or bolting it to a larger steel plate (say a rr tie plate that one happens to find) adds greatly to the stability of the jack.

Heh - you didn't like the rocks? ;~D Dad has a comealong jack (I think that's his word for the same thing you speak of) that I think lives behind the seat of the blue pickup.

The gentleman who helped us today reminded both of us of you. :~D
