The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

Precisely, my dear Watson!

Say, this big chicken weighs exactly 4.5 lbs. I'm cooking it at 275 degrees. How long, you think?

You should check around and see what is the area. In Arkansas we found hole-in-the-wall government property disposal place and got all kinds of sweet gear there. Office chairs to industrial desk lamps to high power microscopes with some scratch & dent but still serviceable. The Rockwell one is also a bit of a secret what with only being open 5 hours a week and all.

It is pretty hot here too. I don't feel like doing anything outside. :P Might hit homedespot later and get some boards to make my new swing arms look nicer.

You call it Home Despot too?

Going to have dinner and anime night with friends. They're not ready for the sister. ;-)

Hmmm. When I'm doing an oven stuffer roaster that weighs 6-7 pounds, I usually do 2 1/2 hrs. at 325, so I'd say at least that long for the smaller chicken if you're only doing 275.

SSQ found a place that's selling inventory from a former pharmaceuticals place. He got some great flourescent light fixtures for the garage/basement workshop. He also got some really good air filters for the whole house filtration system we want to do.

Hi hi, Miss Rutheee! :-)

I'm settled in for the evening. Got some liquid medication at hand. Got some Star Wars in the DVD player.

Was a gorgeous day today. Got some good quality time on the beach.

Had a nasty morning though... went back on the clock for a conference call meeting that lasted over 4 hours. Worst of it was that the only bullet on the agenda I was interested in was at the end, and there was some important stuff I needed to ask questions about. Then... just as they were coming to that point-- Bang... everybody bailed out and the meeting ended. They didn't even get to my part of the meeting!! Arrggghh...

But I'm recovering from it now. :-)

What crap! The stupidity that occurs during meetings is completely unique to any other stupidity on earth.

But I am glad that you did get some beach time in.

And watch the liquid medication if you are taking pain killers please.

Like they say... None of us is as dumb as all of us.

Fear not. No pain killers, aside from the Wild Turkey. :-)

I haven't even cracked the Percoset (Oxycodone) bottle yet. Just don't seem to need it. I'm not even really sure why the doc prescribed it, other than he felt so sorry for what he did to me in his office. :-)

I *never* want to feel that again. :-)

Yeah, like Elmer Fudd with big giant Precious Moments (TM) eyes and names like TofuBeniHana, and they're off on a quest to rival Beowulf's...

I don't doubt that!

Now, you can probably look any mother straight in the eye and say "I ~know~ what pain is."

And that's coming from a mom of two.
