New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Good Evening All -

2J - hoping for best with the transmission, sounds like it's getting ready to go south on ya. (Been there and done that).

JenB; whoa, a crashed computer, that's a rough go in your line of work. Hope it gets recovered for you.

Corin - yup, I figure USCG-A would but don't say "terminal" even if you're talking about a computer. Hope you're resting with a 'suitable medication'.
OT: how did the woodpecker holes look in the daylight? Is it time for us to git us a varmit?

[RMDupree]

Evenin folks!

[Overtaxed]

Had to do dishes.

[Overtaxed]

Well I've got a nice row of holes down the siding. According to this they're after bee larvae (which is better than wood-boring insects) and that the holes aren't too deep. I figure I'll just fill the holes.
