Yes , comfort is a major item , but where is the magazine rack and beer can holder. :lol:
The canoe ain't half bad either , in fact it is something nice to look at and will be more fun to paddle. Ya done good on her.
When was it , that you were/are going to ship the canoe over to me so I can try her out for the next 20 years.

Ha Seed, it looks like a 3 - seater under a shade tree with another bald - one. It must be the water down there.

Bald Cypress, nice pirogue, with those round sides it looks like a canoe, it must be the lite. Good job,Later Keith

Ode to That Little Brown Shack Out Back

They passed an ordinance in the town,
Said we'd have to tear it down,
That little old shack out back so dear to me,
Though the Health Department said,
"Its day was over and dead"
It will stand forever in my memory.

Chorus:
Don't let em tear that little brown building down,
Don't let em tear that precious building down,
Don't let em tear that little brown building down,
For there's not another like it in the country or the town.

It was not so long ago that I went trippin' through the snow
Out to that house behind my old hound dog
Where I would sit me down to rest
Like a snowbird on his nest
And read the Sears and Roebuck catalog

I would hum a happy tune,
Peepin' through the quarter-Moon,
As my daddy's kin had done before;
It was in that quiet spot,
That daily cares could be forgot...
It gave the same relief to rich and poor.

Chorus:
Don't let em tear that little brown building down,
Don't let em tear that precious building down,
Don't let em tear that little old building down,
For there's not another like it in the country or the town.

Now it was not a castle fair
But I could build my future there,
An' build my castles to the yellow jacket's drone.
I could orbit round the Sun,
Fight with General Washington,
Or be a King upon his golden throne.

It wasn't fancy built at all.
It had newspapers on the wall
It was air-conditioned in the wintertime;
It was just a humble hut but its door would never shut,
And a man could get inside without a dime.

Chorus:
Don't let em tear that little brown buildin' down,
Don't let em tear that precious buildin' down,
Don't let em tear that dear old buildin' down,
For there is not another like it in the country or the town.

Mornin';
I love it "SeedTick". :lol: Brings back memories. We were always the "topic" of the neighborhood back home. We had a "3-holer" out back. All the neighbors (even the "Reverend") thought we were "Up-itty".
Oh yea, love the name too ....any momma that names her youngin' "SeedTick", is alright in my book.
