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!
There are times when it would be nice to have a rewind... or at least an edit function!
I guess it must be a Monday. I always seem to have more typos on Monday.
Ugh.
Wish it were Friday.
Personally, I just don’t get how anyone could not like sourdough!
I think it’s one of the world’s best foods...
He wants to do rye loaves and things - old world style breads.
OB loves sourdough bread, while I just don’t eat the stuff. When even the dog, who eats ~anything~, spits it out....LSA
Hello there!
You would appear to be logged in...
*snort*
Gutters....I has them.
Congratulations! Did you get gutter covers too?
Yeah....gutter guards.
Maybe I should tell the guy that I want to see if I still get a waterfall during a heavy rain before I pay him.
We’re suppose to have rain Wednesday. Can you dodge him ‘til then?
I think so. I have to take Miss Cat to the vet after werk.
Well I got the tiller started....I went over the beds I have turned so far. I think I need more peat moss or something.
LOL!
LOL
Evening Ramius - well done; ready to ‘repel boarders’ or leading the landing party, it would be a right handy weapon to have.
My buddy served on a PBR on the Mekong. His favorite movie is "The Sand Pebbles". But he says his preferred method of "repel boarders" is steam hoses backed up with a BAR. I guess the romance of the high seas diminishes in brown water.
Lol, that’s pretty amusing.
Roger that. But then again there are few questions for which a BAR isn’t the right answer.
But I gotta say after playing with that thing for a while that when the call came to “make preparations to repel boarders” it might have been nice to have such a thing on my belt. Though admittedly that’s been a lesser risk on CG cutters of late.
What I do miss is the dress uniform for enlisted sailors, with the dress cutlass. Even if it was Chiefs and up... Its a classic and nostalgic touch on the dress uniform. It should be part of the uniform regs.
Traditions matter.
He also appears to be wearing rocketship underpants. :~)
