The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Barring some heretofore unforseen can-of-worms, my report is 'finished' for now. Goes out for technical review mid-week next. *WHEW*

I have an easier time undoing whatever it is that I tricked or forced the machine to do.

I have the same talent. I purchased my computer in '98, and within a week had to completely restore my hard drive -- everything wiped then reloaded. The nice young man at Gateway who talked me through the restore/reload said they were going to have a new section addressing how I was able to do it. They changed something so that you can't do it that way anymore. lol

Did you hide the Entmoot catagory to view by unregistered people?

Yes, I did. Only those in the "Charter Members" group can see or post there. I realized a little while ago that a couple of the newer members (trini and mstar) had not been added to that group yet, and that has now been rectified. Hopefully everyone should have access now. If not, let me know.

I was 10 when Elvis died and I wasn't even born when Kennedy was shot. ;^)

I was almost ten months old when Elvis died. And Jen didn't come along for years after that...

Feel old now? ;)

I'm here! Just for a sec...I'm totally TOTALLY tired! Been working on that fence since early this morning and now it's 4pm here and broiling hot outside. We got all the posts in and cemented (pronounced Cee-mented, btw). Did a number on my hands...Steve would pour the cement into the post hole and I would hold the post in place...once it got pretty well stablized, I'd turn around and scrape the cement out of the wheelbarrow with my hands. My hands now feel like they've been "buffed" and the cuticles are peeling back!

Here are pictures of us working. See that little green thing on the post? That levels it...I would peer at it and make sure the little bubble was just so while Steve poured. This was early this morning, we were still pretty much under the shade of the tree.

Here is Steve, digging a post hole...

Here is a picture of the boys playing in the dirt we took out for the post holes...and they still don't have any shirts on! LOL

And this is a hint as to what it's going to look like...the panels will just be screwed into place.

I shouldn't have gone there. I had almost recovered.

Also got scratched. It freaked my cat out...she fled in terror, gouging me in the process.

Looks like it's gonna be really nice! I don't envy Steve his post hole digging job - I've only dug about five post holes, and that was enough to last me a gooood long while! Of course, the ground here is so rocky that I did almost as much with my hands and a little shovel as I did with the digging thing. Ugh. Had sore hands for days!

Well, I'm done with my part. My best friend and family is coming over tomorrow and we're going to have t-bones and then work on our homeschool group's pictoral directory while the "menfolk" finish up screwing on the fence panels.

BTW, we had a rule about our group would only except up to 75 families and if there was room after all the Broken Arrow families joined, people (like me) from other towns nearby could join. Once you are in, you're in, though...I just barely made it in 4 years ago. This past Tuesday that deleted that part of the rules and now anyone who wants to join, can! We had 85 moms show up that joined and another TWENTY FIVE that were still considering it!

That's over 100 homeschooling families in just our group!

Wow!

Yes...about half way through he asked me to get him some motrin. I tried to help him best I could (his back bothers him sometimes.) I did things like pick up the posts, which are 8' 4x4" posts and drop them in the holes. I also picked up some of the cement bags and mixed them, after he asked for the motrin. The bags were 80lb bags and when I would pick one up, I thought my eyes would pop out...but it was only a half dozen or so...

My most important task was the leveling, because I'm real nitpicky about it! LOL
