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!
So much for the grill. I’ve got the ribs going in the oven.
Woo Hoo! Junior wins!
Yikes, my dyslexia read that as post-recovery visit and I thought "OMG what happened to her mom?"
We're plugging along. May have just sold the Honda. Jr's still lookin' fer a new vehicle.
Neither. I was just lamenting the complete fitted set of M14 armorer's gauges I swapped out some time ago. Just very neat mechanical works of art. Some of that stuff was dirt cheap ages ago, and I'd pick it up at gun shows when I was low on discretionary funds.
I still have a nice, disorganized, assortment of M1 gauges, like the rare clip timing gauge. As far as a "truck gun" goes, my Garand is a safe queen. It's a Springfield National Match, from the last lot of the last year of new-from-scratch production. After that, it was all rebuilds.
You know, it's nice to have a short, handy weapon with a great optical sight, and a round that speaks with authority. I guess that's the whole idea behind the "scout" rifle.
G'nad, let us know when your EBR is done, or when the Sig arrives, whichever comes first.
I certainly will... y'all will be the first tuh know...
I am sure he just reads it for the acticles.
Where is everyone this morning?
I am here...
Morning DJ.
So, we’ve got this great big tv, and now we need a new dvd player. I’d like one that can take out bad language from movies, and one that I can record shows on. Right now we only have rabbit ears, but PBS had a show on the other night that I’d have liked to recorded for the kids.
Thank you...

Two cuppas so far and I’m still not ready for Monday.
Only one for me so far. Still not sure what I do for a living yet. Need more.
Me neither...
I think it takes twice the usual caffeine to make up for no shower in the morning.
Ugh.
Has the river crested yet?
“You would think with all the rain we have gotten and the mandatory water restrictions due to the flood that you would not be RUNNING YOUR DAMN AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM!!!
It was on Saturday night. Please grow a sense of civic duty and consideration and turn it off.”

Had a nice day at the beach house yesterday... Barkley was a bit of a pain in the rear, but... once he settled down he was alright.
On the way home there was a bad wreck. Car looked like it rolled over more than once before ending up where it did.
It did friday or saturday, I forget.
And the got another well restarted. So ya! We get a real shower tonight. (Not that Navy style one we did yesterday :P)
I think it has something to do with computers because I have been sitting in front of one for a couple hours. Not sure what to do with it yet...
Yeah, it’s been going down all weekend. Iowa City crested this morning. They’ll take at least a week, probably more, to un-flood because they’ve got a huge reservoir pouring into the city.
It’s going to take ages to clean up.
Oddly enough, FEMA has yet to arrive. Amazingly, local responders are really the best people to handle these situations.
