The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Cool - early evening Saturday Gun Pron....The Sportsman, saw a lot of those in the racks in years past; good solid shotguns.

The comment about using riot guns for skeet shooting to teach pilots and gunners principles of lead and follow through. A young skeet shooter in California was an instructor, his name Robert Stack, yup, ‘Eliot Ness’ from the old Untouchables TV show.

Trail ride pics, complete with cougar tracks and a near miss with a ‘cujo’ look alike. Sounds like quite a day.

It was a terrific ride.

We’re not going to be able to go for 3 weeks now. I’m pulling Bay’s shoes Monday so we can treat a fungus he’s got. So I’m glad we got to go today.

I needtuh keep muh eyes open in the future fer a good riot gun...

If you're not looking for a collector's item, and aren't concerned about future collector value, find any ol' used Remington 870, and cut the barrel down to 18.5-20 inches. You can always add a magazine extension or folding stock afterwards.

If money isn't much of an object, the Benelli M4 tactical is similar to current military purchases.

While not a true riot gun, I have an extra barrel for my ‘75 model 870 Wingmaster. I found an older model 2 3/4 chamber 20” barrel that had rifle sights on it. It does just fine, the plug is presently removed so it’s a five shot model now.

Looks like a great project we’re looking forward to the finished project - good field of overlapping fire I presume.

He’ll be fine, it’s not hurting him any yet, it’s just that it’s under the shoe and I can’t get to it to treat it. I’ve tried. I just need a few weeks to get at it. I hate to do that in the middle of summer, but I don’t want to wait till the wet season to start treating it, I’ll never get it dry.
