Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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 did not get dunked. Stuck on a sandbar a couple times.

We think the birds are cranes. They were very cool.

Very much so. A little cool and windy but with the windbreakers we really did not notice.

About a 19 mile stretch of the Cedar River north of town. Despite the name, Cedar Rapids, no longer has any rapids. But I do think it use to before they put in all the low head dams.
The weekend before we went down to Lake Mcbride for some Kayak, PFD and Paddle familiarization and rapid egress training. Jen did not like it much when I flipped the boat over. hehehe

Right now, any kind of list stresses me out...

I woke up this morning too stressed to go to the gym. Honest, this time it was stress, not laziness. Just way too much goin' on and I need to get a handle on it.

I'm suddenly more involved in the campaign than I ever anticipated. And, I actually have a meeting tonight with a potential client for my event business. Where did ~that~ come from? Seriously, all I did was say "Look, I set up a website/blog in case I get my event business going," and she called and said "can you help us with this?"

I need four personal assistants and 17 more hours in the day...and a salmon.

~sip~

Mmmm...salmon.

In other news, you know it's a Monday when you turn on the 'spresso maker and let it run through its whole cycle...without the carafe.

*sigh*

And I think now it's too late to start another batch. I really gotta run. Grrrr...

You all know that the only reason I started this blog was so I could share with *you* what we were doing...didn't want to clutter up the thread with all the pictures...

Other people look at it, but it's really just there for you.

It really does look like a pretty fun project, glad you're meeting people at the bug club too, who are into that and can help you along :~)

The body is just bolted on with about 18 bolts to the chassis. It takes four men to lift it when it's unbolted.

When that happens, I definitely will get pictures!!

I told Joan that it has never made a sound since we got it and I look forward to hearing the horn "Beep beep!" She said it would be like it woke up.

She understood. Heh!

I'm grateful for all the friends here, and as long as I have internet access (that comes before food), I'll be here to share in the frienship and insanity.

Let me take this opportunity to blame everything on Jimmy Carter and BillHillary Clinton. If they didn't screw up everything they touched, we wouldn't be at war now, and we wouldn't be facing a couple of new nuclear powers that we helped arm, in one way or another. Therefore, we wouldn't have as many troops in combat, and not as many needing pocket knives and other gadgets.

Gadget evaluation will continue. And, of course, if anyone in the Hobbit Hole knows of someone in the military, we can come up with an appropriate gift to express our thanks.

Charlotte (in the kitchen window) had a boyfriend for a couple of days. Apparently she got tired of him, because she ate him for breakfast this morning.

Nice post! Looks pretty rough under the fenders but it will be all the nicer once cleaned up from the inside out.

It would be still a great service to promote the site as gadget reviews for troops and emergency personnel. Still a very valuable service that costs very little.
