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!

We shoulda brought a Homer over an hour ago :~D

Is the blade tight on the shaft? If it isn't tight... then that's the rattle. If the blade is tight on the shaft, and it still rattles, then it is the shaft (or rather the shaft bushings, I think) and that's somewhat more serious.

[Corin Stormhands]

But he's more likely to stare at it awhile then take it to the repair shop than actually fix it himself :~D

I'd just skip the starin' at it part...

[RMDupree]

Yeah. It was ~that~ good.

[Ramius]

Well... sure... :-)

LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

No, the blade won't tighten on the shaft. I* shoulda taken pictures...

[Ramius]

Is the shaft nut stripped out? or is the blade just worn out?

[Corin Stormhands]

I thought ~ that we'd have the recording and spend the next three hours tracking down Bierko. And I thought for sure that Logan was gone.

breathe...breathe...breathe...

[HairOfTheDog]

No, the nut feels tight, it's just that the blade still wobbles even when it's tightened down as much as it'll go.

[RMDupree]

Yup....And just wait until Martha finds out that Aaron's bleeding in another room.

[HairOfTheDog]

The blade might just have a big wow in it. Mowing at Rosie's is sortof like mowing a rock quarry :~D It's good she didn't get a real expensive mower, just she's gonna beat the crap out of it.

[Ramius]

Well... if the blade isn't straight or balanced... that's a whole new set of issues.

New blades are not 'spensive.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - that's what we're discussin now.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Whatza wow?

[HairOfTheDog]

a wonky bend :~D

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Ahh, okelydokely...

[Corin Stormhands]

I can't believe we only have two weeks left. One hour next week and a 2 hr. finale on May 22nd.

Tonight was certainly a wild ride.

g'nite folkses

[JenB]

You guys are gonna need a twelve-step program.

She was snowed by the a$$ kisser!
