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.

Why yes, I am a pirate. 200 years too late.

The cannons don't thunder.
there's nuthin to plunder.
I'm an over-40 victim of fate.

Yikes.

Yep, it's like that old saying... "It's better to be rich and healthy, than poor and sick."

If you want, I'll look up the lyrics to "Old Hippie" and post them.

You two are two young to understand that, but I thought it was funny.

Aren't you sweet!

Yep, the suit is a giveaway in any office it seems! HA!

A fun opportunity is developing this evening...

A guy I've known for a while, another regular here at Pahrumps, has his 100Ton Master license. In the late summer/fall he makes a little extra money driving fishing boats back from Alaska. These are the big boats, catcher/processors in the 150/175 foot range.

Seems he's a little light on crew this year. Might just take the chance and crew for him to bring one of these bad boys back from AK. I'm sure there's a way to make myself useful. It would be fun to take a sextant and practice my cel nav skills once again. I'd have to pay my own airfare to Dutch or whereever, but when you get right down to it, it's a pretty cheap way to take an 8-day cruise down through the inside passage.

It would just plain rock.

Gees I hated having to put on clothing more office-like than jeans and a t-shirt today. I almost commented as such when I was saying I had to go get dressed for my meeting. And then, the flag came.... and I have 2 photos of myself in incriminating clothing.

Look forward to taking you there so you can meet my wacky friends!

Sounds like fun. I don't think they can be any wackier than what I'm used to.

Been working on redesigning the Flat Frodo pages, trying to get things done before we share with the world. Not sure if this is what I want yet or not, I need to sleep on it.

FrodoCam is on!

I think job dissatisfaction is contagious. The company I work for is pretty good, but this is not something I want to do long-term, and I think I can make more. Not really actively looking yet, just starting to browse the Monster.com ads more often.

I've got a serious case of Black Dog at this particular time.

Now.... my black dog was the most cheerful animal on the planet! Clueless, but always cheerful.

You should see the people I hang with! :~D

Anything more professional looking than jeans and a T-shirt.

I don't want them to get the idea that I'm going to do that often!
