Scrape, Rant, Repeat

 

(At the back of the hill) One of the first steps is fixing a nice cup of tea. Then dump the stems into bleach. Ream and scrape the bowls, add alcohol to soften the hard muck, fiddle and repeat. More tea. Rims. Pick and twiddle. There's tar encrusted in the sandblasted grain around the top. Use dabbed alcohol and jeweler's screwdrivers to pick it out, much like a dental hygienist, albeit with considerably less foul language. Fix some more tea. Files, prongs, and a twiddly thing to get the tar and noxious build-up out of the shank. Again, the image of a dental hygienist, but this time one with lots of liquor and a sadistic streak. Jab, jab, jab. Swill with hot tea, because the mouth now feels dry; the effect of prolonged concentration.
At least and at last the insides are clean. Continued

Hello, and thank you for that link. But please note that it leads to my blog, the first article of which changes regularely. The specific ranting article is this: http://atthebackofthehill.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-longish-disquisition-with-hint-of.html

While I love people cruising in, I fear you readers may not be interested in everything I spew out.
Could you please correct the link?
