The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
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! |

XGI, don't you have access to Chat?
I'm not a keeper of the keys. But I know someone who is.

Even though I didn't watch, it was fun watching the rest of you chat about it.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
You weren't watching? Well, glad you kept company anyway.

It froze up my whole computer several times near the end. It was a pain.
But I enjoyed the chatting. We should do something like that on a semi-regular basis.

We watched the first game of the college world series... Texas beat Florida, 4-2.

I had gone for over an hour to get Clare, and the chat was still going when I got back. Then right at the very end, it booted me. Go figure.

Yup, NCAA basebell... Game 2 is tomorrow afternoon. If Texas wins again, they're the champions!

I received a freepmail from Corin the other day about the son of a classmate who's going through Marine bootcamp right now. He needs some encouragement, and since he wants to be a helo crewchief,
this will be waiting for him at home for encouragement: the first (and maybe only) Hobbit Hole aircrew knife...
It's made by Gerber, in the USA, and is just about the slickest, most luxurious aircrew knife I have ever seen. A zillion adapters for MOLLE and velcro, a vinyl-coated sheath for quiet, great blade design, and a separate line/seatbelt cutter. The soft plastic handle is electrically insulated from the blade, and the steel buttcap. The buttcap can be used to crack plexiglas canopies, hammer, or crush skulls. Oh, and the slot in the sheath is a carbide sharpener.
The knife doesn't seem too big, which is important for anyone in a helo, where space is limited. But it compares favorably in size to our Hobbit Hole Camillus BK2, which is actually a big moose of a knife, when you see it up close.
It's a really elegant, well-thought-out tool. If I could get these at a discount, I could see giving a lot away to happy troops.

Everybody should rent the Rankin Bass version one weekend.... :) If all of us rented that at the same time, it would double the view statistics for the movie for the whole year!
To: HairOfTheDog
...and really ruin the data for someone who doesn't have anything better to do. :)
Good morning! [sip]

Morning Winmag - that is a great looking knife. Haven't seen one like it before.
To: HairOfTheDog; Overtaxed
Morning - warming up out there, got to admit the a/c does feel good. A bit more gardening to do yet this a.m.
We have several volunteer cannas that will moving to a different planting bed; don't know how they feel about it but there is present locations in the vegetable garden and the herb garden is not my idea of good spot. Got the miracle grow mixed to water them in.
To: osagebowman
Morning!
Today's experiment is all the glass doors closed on the sunroom, the sliding glass door to the house opened.
Should do some gardening this morning but I'm just too lazy. :)

To: Overtaxed
Have the thermometers been calibrated? Time and Temp charts ready? Are planning on factoring humidity and wind speed/direction?
Inquiring minds want to know. :-)
To: osagebowman
hehehe....no. Just got a little alkyhol thermometer sitting out there.
