Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
We're talking about getting a trainer that we can put our bikes in to make them stationary bikes - that way we'll get more practice on the bikes we actually use rather than one of those stupid excerbikes that just aren't the same. Something you might want to watch for on Craigslist.
Is there a place to walk at work...like at lunch or maybe in the afternoon?
At least the days are getting longer now.
There's a trail not far from here...but considering how much it rains, and the fact that I only get half an hour total for lunch, that doesn't work that well. I may go walking after work once it's light then, but once it's light longer, I can go home and grab the dog to walk on another part of the trail.
So I just need something for winter, really.
I've always been somewhat intrigued by those. In my case, I only have knobby tires, and I'm not sure how well those would work...but it does seem like it'd be closer to the real thing than the typical exercycle thingie.
Don't know that I've ever seen 'em on Craigslist, though...maybe because the folks that have 'em use 'em.
I'm just sayin' is all...
The thread, or the site?
The thread. We just aren't as chatsey as we used to be.
Yeah, no kidding.
It's like the days right after the scouring...but without even any arguing going on.
*snif*
On the downside of the old days, I used to whine a lot more, I think. Now that I don't see bothers on a daily basis...well...
*Sigh*... that's the truth. I miss our chatsey-er days.
Well...you married folkses are partly to blame, ya know. If you hadn't gone and moved in together, you'd be doing more chatting here.
And I guess the whole Westward move is at fault, too. That and some of the most talkative folks are gone anymore.
We need new recruits!
Yeah, but what's everyone else's excuse?
Hey, I dragged Talon here, years back, other people could do the same sort of recruiting.
No one ever seems to follow me home.
*snif*
Yeah, but look at what a weirdo I got stuck with ;-p
I don't have a proper response to that... ;-)
We need to revive the elf wars. :)
Cool, I claim the Bow of Smitingness +2.

jest cuz I gotta job that doesn't involve a computer...
So...such things actualy exist. I suppose they have gadgets you can tighten to make them resist more.
