Morning, all.

Wow, Tom's up early.  After breakfast I have an appointment with the hand surgeon to see what he thinks these lumps in my hand are.  Need to stop at Lowe's on the way home as it's a rainy spring and that means we have an ant issue.  Otherwise a lazy Monday here.

Passed through. Thanks for the spread, Tom. Someone else can have my grits ration. With all the time I spent in grits country, I never learned to enjoy them. Taylor's Pork Roll? Now that's a whole new ball game.
Hope it dries out here today.

Morning all,

I managed some workbench time yesterday.  When I started the build, I told myself I wasn't going to light up the Gorman Sign structure.  I spent the day yesterday crafting gooseneck lights and planning the lighting circuit for the interior as well as how I might make the roof removable.  This is all Slim's fault. I'll continue on with that today.

By sheer coincidence, I watched the extended edition of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" on Friday.  Next up is "The Two Towers".  RIP Bernard Hill/King Theoden. 

Have a great one!

Like BandOGuy, I never learned to like grits, despite all those Army breakfasts...  

Bernard Hill did a great job as King Theoden.  That's a difficult role, I think, but Shakespearian in all that Theoden had to go through.  Last night we watched the episode of Brokenwood that centered around a clunky New Zealand rip-off tour of pseudo-LOTR sites.  ("Lord of the Ringz tours")

That Brokenwood episode was great fun! Way back when, long before any films, Harvard Lampoon published a parody called "Bored of the Rings." That was a clear sign that there was a real love of the Tolkien works, that someone would like it enough to write a parody!

I have an original paperback copy of "Bored of the Rings," bought in 1973.  I still dig it out, and totally crack up/laugh out loud reading the map!
