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.

Maybe I need a career change?

Anyway... things are decided less quiet all of a sudden. another of the regulars is here. Nice guy, and mostly harmless. But he shouts. Everything he says is really loud.

Even when he walks up close to you to make a "whispered" comment about the nice looking wench that just walked in. But it's not a whisper. I honestly think he thinks he's whispering--- but he's shouting. It makes for some awkward moments.

You know, that is one of the affects of alcohol consumption! So, maybe it's quieter because there is no contest going on! It's time for a contest involving the pirates now!!!

Aren't they precious!

I don't know about gineas, but I know with chickens they say don't put them on smooth paper...makes their legs deformed because they can't grip on to it and their legs slip around...it's called spraddle leg. If you have any hay or pine shavings (cedar is a bit too strong for the babies...it's ok for adults), that would be a good thing to sprinkle in the bottom of the brooder...about an inch thick. Or just a burlap bag. Or just shred up some newspaper.

Like I say, I don't know if it's an issue with guineas, but it's a death wish for chicks to have spraddle leg.

They are sure CUTE!

Well, the Security Guard is your alibi!!

Bossman gives me any grief and I'm turnin' the tow truck and the repair bill in on my expense report.

Good news was, it was only the battery. I was askeered it'd be the alternator. But it wasn't chargin' anymore, even with a jump. Tow truck driver got me started and I drove straight to my regular mechanic. (and no, I don't know how to fix them things myself and that's all I'm gonna say about that)
