The Hobbit Hole XXXVII - ...Down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed!

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:43:34 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!

Yeah but spring, summer, and fall I’ve got better outdoorsy things to do.

At theoldhouse I spent 2 years off and on stripping down the window frame to bare wood and staining it. Looked great after I was done.

We’re not sure, walking wounded maybe..

Was that a great afternoon or what? Sixties and sun isn’t usually seen in our neck of the shire..

Nice find on the picture and caption, Corin.

Evening PE - That’s one large handful of handgun you have there. Ruger 45 Long Colt on steroids?

If I was following the thread right, it’s a 454 Causal.

Heh, yup, the 454 Casull is like a 45 Colt Magnum. Some think we’re pushing the upper edge of handgunnery with the current crop of 454s, 460s and 500s.

I remember some of the discussion right here on FR when the S&W 500 was released. I don’t care to indulge. A 357 is plenty.

I’m watching ROTK tonight. Been a long time.

Pippin was just messing with something he oughtn’t. A fool, but an honest fool, he remains.

[sigh]

It’s easy to forget how masterful Howard Shore’s score was.

Dang. Good stuff.

I still say that Aragorn should’ve dumped the elf and gone for Eowyn. Just sayin’...

Yah. I’ve only had about twenty days of nothing to do. I’ve been meaning to do a straight-through tour of the whole thing. Never got ‘round tuit.

This “Steward of Gondor” fellow is seeming like a real p#!*&.
