The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 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!

Heh...will do. It *should* be simple to just do the opposite of what I did this morning (minus the one little part where I went the wrong way), but I know myself too well not to worry a bit...

I really could use some sort of in-ear GPS nag...

Employee discounts on ammo, way to go.

When in doubt, buy more ammo

well... they offered me the job... This is the new company that makes ceramic armor... they’ve just landed a HUGH contract...

only slighltly less than I asked for, but with the caveate as the company grows, so does my salary...

I think I’ll tell them “yes” tomorrow...

Congrats on the new assignment.

It was doubtless your creative accounting on the expense report to Las Vegas NV; The class III range time itemed out as ‘research and development’.

WooHoo! Congratulations!! So you won’t be at FLW anymore, or is this company connected to it in any way?

Heh...awhile ago I saw someone with a t-shirt that had a picture of a biker on it, and around the picture in a circle it said “Work to eat, eat to live, live to bike, bike to work”. Granted, I’m riding to work mostly for my own selfish purposes, and probably won’t ride once it’s cold, and I’m not a crusader like some cyclists...but I LIKE that shirt. ;-)
