Good morning! I just talked to Corin on the phone, and it was ~really~ fun! He is really a pleasure to talk to.

Opportunities for Pier Cam pictures did not look good earlier, it was raining and the pier looked purdy durned wet. But just as he went to call me, the sun came out, and it just might turn out to be a nice day! Indeed the pier looks to be drying out on the live shot now. Current plan is to wait a couple hours.... He is gonna call me again at 9:00 my time and we will make the 'go-no go' decision for today.

SuziQ - the question was posed.... IF today doesn't work out for everything Corin would like to do with Frodo, would it be pushing it too close on your schedule for Corin to keep him another day and overnight Frodo to you tomorrow?

Can't wait to see it!!

Have figured out that the blasted smilie page I reference is the thing that keeps locking the computer up.

Hair, will it be too much Texas to send Frodo to me? I mean, I am of the opinion one can NEVER have too much Texas, but thats just my bias talking.

I have the live shot ready to refresh. I'll check it now and then. Has he caught any fish off that pier?

Good morning and ping to my above post at 796!

Since you showed up on a third day in a row, perhaps it is time to tell you how crazy we are! I wanted you to see the first Hobbit Hole Webcam event. When and ~if~ Corin shows up on the pier, I will grab screen caps and save them so it is acceptable if you are at ~ahem~ work, and can't monitor all morning.

This is all stemming from our "Adventures of Flat Frodo" project. Earlier in the year Ruthy sent me a cardboard Frodo standee, and I love him dearly, but one day probably after too much drinking, we came up with this idea that it would be fun to take Frodo places and photograph him in surprising settings. Of course, that led to sending him all over the country to different HH dwellers, and with ecurbh's help.... We have the website where we keep the journal.

The Hobbit Hole : There And Back Again, The adventures of Flat Frodo

My favorite shot to date:

Corin has him now and came up with the idea of getting some shots with the webcam.

(anyone else watching who can also save some images - this would be a help and a failsafe backup just in case I screw up!)

Yeah, that's fine. And really, if he wants to keep him longer, I don't HAVE to have Frodo again. I don't want to be a Frodo-hog! I already had some time with him; I just thought it would be fun to take him to the mountains. So if Corin can think of some other places to take him, it's all right with me if he just keeps him. I'm afraid it's gonna cost a BUNDLE to overnight him to me! To save some money, he could send him to me in MT. We're gonna be there for 10 days, so there would be time. I have a street address for the home we're renting. It may save Corin a few bucks, and I could send him my cell phone # for the UPS folks to be able to contact me.

Do we know who's getting Frodo after Suzi? I need on the list.
