The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

it's a super Walmart, so it has groceries and such

I LOVE those stores! There's one across the higway from where my sister lives in MS, and when we go to visit her, the kids love going to that store!

When our girl cousins get together for our reunion every year (at this same sister's house), we usually spend a couple of hours just roaming around the store, getting clothes, toiletries, food, etc. One year, we didn't get there til about 1 in the morning after having picked someone up at the airport. We had the place mostly to ourselves (the 7 of us); it was FUN!

Nice one!

An "elvish" stunt would be Vim moving into one of the trees on your property. :)

Have a good morning all...I'm heading out the door. The father of one of my managers passed away and a group of us from work are going to the funeral.

Have you told Jr. about this program?

Yes, and he's interested. But the carrot and stick approach doesn't seem to work. If we have to send him to summer school, he'll miss choir tour, this program, his week with his aunt that he's had since he was three, football and very likely our week at the beach.

He just doesn't care. Well, no that's not it, he does care. But for some reason he's willing to risk all of these. I don't get it.

You bet! Just talked to him on the phone last night... John's still in 29 Palms... he and his wife retired from the Corps last summer...

This is John and I on the range in 29 Palms BACK IN '94...He's on the right with his Remington 700 PSS, and I'm on the left with Painless, my custom built Sako... the day ended merrily over muchos homebrewed cervesas...

A day that starts out with guns and ends with beer is *so* much better than the other way around!

Not bloody likely.... But have yuh got any Glittering Caves nearby, Master G'nad?

BTW I've got the Canon S300 similar to yours and love it. But it's a little hard to operate with mittens on ;^)

ROFLOL!! What a great name!

She's earned it... she shoots thumbnail groups at 100 yds, and I can hit consistently at 1000 yds...

nothing she's ever "touched" has suffered...dead on impact...
