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!

Well pooh! Just a quick scan of the flights shows that if I leave around 2:30 I'll get into KCI at 10:40ish. A 3:00 departure arrives after 11:00. Let's see what the travel office guys come up with.

Ok. I will. Here's the new meat chicken tractor...it's 14 square feet, so could in theory hold 7 chickens...which I think it too tight a fit. I built it to possibly hold 4 chickens at a time.

The chicks were still eating off the wood block but are too ungainly now to do so anymore. So I suspended their water and food from the top of the tractor.

This was about Monday.

I'll take some more pictures of them here in a sec. I put the tractor by the chicken run to give the Girls something to gaze at and amuse them and also for companionship for the chicks. Chickens are flock animals after all and hopefully allowing for their chicken psyche will make for a nicer tasting meal!

Stihl makes chain saws... I'd guess it's a tool to go with a chain saw.

Would make sense...there are so many trees down because of the storms. A chainsaw tool in the road wouldn't be out of the question...

It's a chain saw spanner.

When I looked up spark plug wrench, I saw scrench, which lead me to look up stihl scrench and it said "Stihl Chainsaw spanner (scrench)"

Chainsaw. It pulls spark plugs and I think also adjusts the chain tension. Someone will be pissed they lost it.

Maybe I could drive around in the neighborhood where I found it and find where a downed tree has been removed and ask who removed it. They likely set it up on top of their truck or something and lost it when they turned (it was in an intersection.)
