The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Well, in North Carolina you know they did have that hotel balcony washed out from under them...

Well, I need to get up from the computer.

We’re going to give Luke’s room a pre-first day of school scouring and then head to the pool for thelastdayofsummer.

She's setting a bad example as a NRA life member. No eye or ear protection.

Still, a liberal would have fainted dead away, and might just faint seeing this picture.

Hey - if we leave two of the dogs here, any chance you could come over about 3 or so and let them out to potty?

We have to go up to the beach house, and while it would be simpler to bring no dogs, we’re thinking we’d take Barkley since his crate is occupied at the moment, but leave the others here.

That's the spirit. If Hair wants goats, get fainting goats and get some entertainment value out of them.

Sure, no problem. My plan for the day is fall cleaning and mowing. I’ll be around. ;-)

From another story I saw, I believe that picture is from a virtual training facility. An interactive simulator system that "fires" a laser at a screen. I don't think it's a firearm.

OK - Thanks! We’re up here now. Just Barkley with us, Gidget and Homer are at home.

Anything you find in your fall cleaning you want to sell, you can set up a table at our yard sale this weekend!

It was a training facility in Kuwait, and there's a voice in the background, after she fires, saying something about her shooting being pretty much right on target.

I wonder how many Governors or Congress critters they get in that facility who could do the same?

Haven’t seen any of the tv coverage. Following it on line right here. Good Labor Day, did some labor this morning did some relaxing at the range this afternoon.

Got all the iris trimmed and heeled into the sand bed, dang we got a lot of irises. Otherwise we’re ready for painter on wednesday. Only the porch swing to go in front.

Dialed in both of the .22 rifles. Nice groups at 50 yds. I really enjoy the scopes. We’ll see what they do at 100 yds on the next trip. Ran a few more mags through the Sig. Couple of other shooters were there. EBRs and Berreta PX-4s. Nice feeling sidearm.

It’s a really pale goldish-yellow (yellowish-gold?)

I cleaned up and dug leaves into two of the raised beds and planted some lettuce and spinach to (hopefully) overwinter indoors. Right now I’ve got some zucchini kabobs on the grill to be joined later by hamburgers. Iwillhazcheezeburger. :)
