thank you jj, that was very kind of you to say. As far as the great ambience I've got, I dunno, like MandoAnn I think it was in the bar near Massachusets, I have trouble with my ambiences they just won't quiet down anough for me to hear my song ........

++++++++++++++++++++! (RIMSHOT !) arh arh arh .... followed by (sound of dog barking in the distance.... no laughter in the room... -sigh- I tried lol

Yes jj, I have always enoyed being able to take great liberties in my den/office with "decorating", lol guys often don't really "decorate" they more like... "hammer stuff" onto the wall, or take note with pride the weight-rating in great overkill of the painting hanger hook "yesirree, this 100-pound baby ought to do the job,"sniff" (sniff of guysounds to do with the nose, or "thumbing the nose, as in boxers) for something weighin, oh likely not more than 15 pouns at the most. lol

My liberties of den ( Iwonder where ehat word got connected to guys offices at home - and more of course,,,, guy-space..... sports memorabilia, walnut panelling with mullion if you are well-to-do ( not me), or "barnwood" if you are into rustic, as am I , but jj you would not believe how much "real "salvaged" barnwood goes for OMG, I ca't afford it either, but you're right, the hard-cut pig-iron-looking black horshoe nails (old-style, last time our farrier took winter "snowshoes" off of one of our horses, and put regular style on, he used, and commented on a new-fangled "high-tech" horshe-nail. I asked if they worked better, and he laconically, er..ratjher bucollically replied "don't know...ppfttt....but they cost more..." I allowed as how that made sense....and replied - won't be long before they have "digital" horseshoes , huH? he he he..... hmm. Helooked at me as if it were time for my medication, and said something like "what the sam-hell does that mean?" "I uh..I was just kiddin', Pete... no harm..." He skeptically loaded up his anvil from the tailgate, and tools, and gave me a bill roughly twice that of the last shoeing job...I did not complain, greatful of having higher-tech horseshoes....

oh - I checked out the PeterBorrough Canoe site - and their stuff is great - you're right.
I'm gonna get a t-shirt, even though I have never rowed their brand - or Chestnut et al.

Gotta say I like the steel Old Town Canoe repro catalogue covers though, if just for fake-authenticity?! Thanks jj
