Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
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! |

I really, really hope something works, even if it does seem impossible at this stage! What if you came a bit late? OK, I guess that'd be pushing it...but man...I was so looking forward to finally meeting you two!

Good evening everyone...
We picked up the truck today but no trailer yet - tomorrow. Trail ride this weekend!
To: HairOfTheDog
Woo-hoo! I'm excited for you! What's the trail like? Is it pretty close by?

Cool. Is the current hitch at the right height? How about the wiring harness... same type? That would sure simplify things.

It's "Goldimouse and the Three Cats."Yep, I couldn't find anything definitive on Google, but that's the one that seemed most likely. Good find!

To: Ramius
Nope the plug is the wrong one... the trailer plug is a round three prong dealy.
Won't know till tomorrow if the wiring itself needs to be replaced or we just need to have the right plug added. I'm to see that they leave the boat plug there and just add on the new one too.
Probably the current hitch extension is too high, but I have it with me to check.
To: RosieCotton
7 miles from here is several thousand acres of state forest with lots of trails. :~D
To: RosieCotton
Well, it's not the timing so much (although that will be tight too) it's the money situation (I expect we'll be pretty tapped out...)

No - dad is loaning his to us for now... We'll be having to take it back up to him and kindof trade off... maybe every other weekend. He will give it to us for good when he makes a decision on a new one :~D
Glad you'll soon have a car. Hope it works out well for you. Is the rental affordable in the mean-time?
To: HairOfTheDog
Yah... gotta keep the boat lights. Yeesh... you'd think such a thing could be pretty well standardized by now.
It's like worrying about buying ~compatible~ electrical plugs for your sockets.

To: Ramius
Exactly. The wiring and the plug on the trailer looks a lot heavier duty than the existing. It has to power the trailer brakes, not just lights. I bet they have to put in new.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah, we're getting the rental at a good weekly rate, so it's pretty affordable. Not much choice really... bus routes from where we live to where we need to go aren't really available. Well, not without riding the bus for a couple of hours in the morning and evening, every day...

I am afraid of buses, so I don't blame you.
I'm afraid of getting on the wrong one and not knowing where it's going. I've been on a city bus maybe twice in my life ;~D
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Awww, maybe you can make it... somehow...
Didja see the movie yet?

To: HairOfTheDog
Ack... forgot about the trailer brakes. Yah. That's new equipment. New harness and ever'thin.
Woulda' been nice to have trailer brakes for the sailboat trailer. That thing is freakin' heavy. Probably up there with the horses. Scary on the highway.

I'm afraid of getting on the wrong one and not knowing where it's going.That happened to me once, on a school bus. Wound up going to my uncle's house by mistake.

Sailboat is scary cuz it's so tall too... high center of gravity.
Well, I'm really tired... going to bed. talk to everyone in the morning!
To: JenB
