The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Dang...lawnmower dude backed out, too. He thought he was going to get a free ride-on mower he could use as a tractor. Uh...no. I ain’t stupid.

Well, the old mesh was made to match old style field fence... now that the small mesh horse fence has become popular, there are panels that match that.

Does your ad say “push mower”? Some people assume bigger equipment when you just say ‘mower’.

It just said “lawnmower”. Not “mower”. In any case, I added “push” to the ad.

If you tied a chair to the top of your mower, you could call it a “riding mower”...

They just called and asked me to come in and work. Need help this afternoon. Offered me $5 more an hour if I would.

I said I’d come in and work for 4 hours...that’s what I’ve been doing and I come home so wiped out I feel like I’ve worked a double.

Just take care of yourself so you don’t end up a patient!

Heh. Yeah.

You know how it feels when you get up in high altitude and you feel like you’re not getting enough air? That’s how I felt the other day at work. I checked the oxygen level in my blood and it was 99% which is just almost perfect, but my heart rate was only 58 beats per minute (normal being around 80).

The medicine I’m taking slows down my heart in an effort to lower my BP and makes me feel strange.

Then again, if you’re gonna pass out, what better place than in a hospital! Heh!

We have a beauty day today! 42 and bright sunshine. SirKit and I are fixing to go for a walk. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit colder, but will start of with freezing rain, and it will be dreary all day. Yuck!

Just avoid the politics until then, that’ll drive your BP up even more.

Good! Kind of a long way off...but at least it’s on the schedule.

And the patches are helping a lot, huh?

Hmmm...that looks good. I’m wanting to build something to raise meat birds in that we can move around. I’ll need to have an area to get them out of the rain though. We have a used dog run (8x10) that I’m considering, just not sure how to move it around.
