The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

At least 90 rounds of 380, one box of fifty and two partial boxes. Also we have three or so “spare” boxes of 45 and I’m guessing 50 extra of 9mm (this one box of 100 is not in neat trays)

I was thinking we would toss everything in the new bigger range bag.
I have a half hour more here at least.

Well, we weren’t sure there would be time to shoot, with you not coming till tomorrow afternoon and all and then the movie and then the concert Sunday... But yeah - if we can squeeze it in, we’d be game. :~)

Mornin’ - okay, the one ‘in town’. I was at our local shop thursday, the owner said the ‘rat debates have been great for business. EBRs are selling briskly, several a week. The deer rifle and shotgun racks were full, not so the very limited ‘tac section.

Good Morning, gypsy walked and plants watered. We’re heady to the big city in a bit, LSA is planning to visit the vampire place and then we’ll have lunch. Got a gift card that we need to use.

I’ve been hearing hummingbirds this week so I bought a new hummingbird feeder.

The showers were supposed to start about 5am, and we were going to go out about 7am to get a load of gravel, and just wear ponchos while doing so. When SirKit got up, it wasn't raining yet, so he let the rest of us sleep til about 8:30, then we went and got it. Turned out to be a rather nice morning, with just some spits of rain now and them. Joseph was even able to get the yard mowed!

SirKit's fixing to go the the lawnmower store to look for some parts for the Briggs and Stratton engine that's in the big concrete mixer, which we haven't used yet, cause he just hadn't taken the time necessary to fix it. It holds about 12 cu. ft, and that's just about what we'll need for the next section of slab. Might take a little longer to mix up, but that's ok. It has four blades instead of the two on the smaller, 2 cu. ft. mixer, so the mix will be more efficient. We'll use Gimli to deliver the sand, gravel and concrete to the mixer, and he's gonna set up some load cells so we don't even have to weigh all the materials out beforehand. Then, when it's mixed, we'll use Gimli's big front loader bucket to deliver the concrete to the forms!

OK. I’m up and moving around. Mostly. I’ll get on the road as soon as I can, but I need to run some laundry and dishes before I go.

Okey doke, we got stuff to do here too. Cleaning and buying hay and such.

The plan for this afternoon is to grill up some steaks before we go to the movie - you still planning to join us for that, Rosie?

Depending on when you need to head back Monday, that might be a good day to go shooting, shouldn’t be many others there on a weekday.

OK... sounds good. I was wondering about shooting on Monday too. There shouldn’t be many people there, and I don’t have to head North till later.

Pinging you because I’m not sure we got both ends of the conversation across the fence, what with all the barking dogs and all... ;~)

We’re having steaks around 4:30-5, and you’re welcome to one. :~)

Then we’ll be heading out to see the Indiana Jones movie.. some time, there’s lots of showings.

So come on over when you’re done with the lawn (I hear you mowing!) Bring Cisco so we can run some energy out of him and the beagle. ;~)

That sounds like a whole lotta work; even with Gimli. You guys are amazing. Work safe and take breaks.
