The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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 plan... We're getting our stuff together to go shooting. It's a dang chilly day here, damp and drippy, but Lisa is supposed to be here in about an hour.

Yup, a lot is right!

Gah, now I can't get hold of grandmother to find out if she's ready for me to get the boys. And we're completely out of caffeine and I am going into withdrawal.

Well, think Lee Loader

DillonRL 550... mmmmmmmmmm... progressive loader... great fer mass production of amm'nition... specially pistol cartridges...

Midway has great prices on components... fer just bustin' caps, I go with lead bullets... e.g. a box of 500 148 gr wadcutters is just $23.35... $19 dollars werth of powder and a penny apiece fer primers makes fer cheap, fun shootin'...

I think Dillon is what Ramius has/had... Sounds familiar. Worked pretty well I think... of course the automated machine my friend had that kicked out 10 or 12 per press. Was a heck of a machine, but he was in the business. You couldn't fit it into most home's decor.

My wish list for things PJ should have added includes the chief orc at the siege of Helm's Deep eatin' a 2-foot steel bolt while in the middle of his pep talk on top of that rock. Nothin' like standing right on top of an aim point that's recorded on the range card of the ballista crew.

*sniff*... that's jest beautiful...

Yup... Dillon 550 is what I had. When I moved to Bellevue, I did't have a place for a workbench in the apartment, so me and a buddy set it up at his place. Since that was about ten years ago I suppose now it is officially a "gift". :-)

It's a great machine, though. I cranked thousands of .357 through that thing.

Happy New Year everybody!!! :-)

I didn't have anything to drink last night either. There's even a little bottle of wild turkey sitting on the table right in front of me, and I completely forgot about it.

[sigh] I'm losin' my touch. :-)
