roll out the green carpet

Malcolm had a green rug from his rec room that he offered to me some time ago. To replace the smallish rug I've been using under the telescope when outdoors. He hauled it out of his garage tonight and stuff it in his car. In turn, I jammed it in my garage beside the fender of my car. I'll roll it out in the spring to see how big it is and cut it down as needed.

A rug under the 'scope great when one has dropsy.
