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!

What is the rank on this man shaking hands there? It's being asked on another forum.

Well, I fell asleep halfway through the speech. I was a tired hobbit! If the end was good though, I’ll find it on youtube today and watch..

Yesterday I got all the tables set up for the sale, today I’m going to put stuff out and post the ad on craigslist and tonight we’ll put out the signs!

Dang...it is the weekend already, isn’t it? I should bring over that toaster oven tonight. And make sure there isn’t anything else worth chipping in.

If you don’t watch anything else watch it from when he starts his POW story through to the end.

We’ve heard the story over and over. But when he told it, I was in tears.

I’ll watch the last half here in a bit.

The Andrea Mitchell... now that’s funny. :~)

Yup... Friday. We’re having a couple friends over and going to a gun show tomorrow. That’s assuming I get out of bed tomorrow. Feel kind of awful today.

I don’t think I need a whole table...hopefully!

I took a load to Goodwill not too long ago, so mostly I just have that toaster oven, which I wasn’t sure I should just give away since it was almost a loan.

I have that mountain bike which I probably don’t need, but I’d get more for it just selling it on Craigslist.

Take care of yourself!

I’m going to another bluegrass festival tomorrow. There’s one just a couple miles up the road, without even having to go to *town* in any sense of the word. Costs five bucks a day. I think I can swing that. ;-) Might even go tonight for a bit, if I get ambitious.

Well, you could put a good price on it and see what happens. Maybe you’ll get lucky.

I’ll think about it. I’m not really sure what a good price would be! And it may be worth keeping around in case I ever want to ride dirt trails again.

I couldn’t easily replace it for what I’d get for it if I sold it, I don’t think. Especially considering the shop I bought it from will do brake and gearing adjustments for free for the original owner.

Do you think I would like to ride it, if I started a fitness kind of plan? I know you didn’t like how it handled, but might I?
