The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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!

Hmmm sounds like they are not really plusing it up. You really don't want to let those boots stay cracked or before you realize it would need stuff far more expensive fixed.
The price tag hurts but that is all money well spent that will extend Vansama's life a good bit.

We could do pub on Friday then. Just for the sheer naughtiness of ~being~ at a pub when we should all be on the clock. :-D

Yes, those are CV boots. What they protect is the CV joint. It THAT had gotten damaged do to toast boot then the price tag would go way up.

This is ecurbh'n Cyn, and Tiff and her horse, in the Skookumchuck... :~D

Tiff cracks me up. "I can ride this river, drink a beer, smoke a cigarette, and have a great time all at once" :~D

I hadn't noticed the bouncing but how often do we take Van-sama when we're out together? We take my car, even though it hates you...

Glad it doesn't sound crazy.

Yeah, the guy basically said "If you don't fix these, bad, expensive things will happen." Of course, he used more technical terms than that.

Hopefully he won't need this kinda series maintenance again for another 30k. Looked at that way...it ain't so bad! ;-) Like I said, still far cheaper'n a car payment.

Heh...what did Cyn think of the river? She's not exactly a little mermaid, is she?

Who's the dog?

I find it is good to take it in now and then and throw a few hundred at it. Ok usuall for things that are issues and only if they are not stuff I can fix myself. But I figure on spending 2 or 3 hundred bucks a couple times a year.

*sigh*

I'm kinda getting back for all the years I've done nothing. I'll hopefully be better about it from now on.

Cyn does big water crossings pretty well... she doesn't like deep mud.

Oh - it's Tiff's dog. I don't like dogs with us on trail and never take mine.

Yep. Didn't come via the regular mail person - there was a courier kinda guy.

I could only hope to ride that well one day!

Maybe I'll just start with "stay on the horse". :-)

Excellent, there's that at least. Best Buy, check.

And I need to get my oil changed. Kept forgetting that and it's payday now... maybe I can leave now and hit the gym.

The 21st or the 14th? Either of those is good (I forget what weekend we're talking about) I think the 21st is the anime club semester party so I could drag you to that ;-)
