There is an adequate supply of out houses here...we don't have the
burning custom.  Still, aren't out houses great?  Why not get together a
collection of 'em.

Lincoln in your address...as in Lincoln canoes?  Got mine from the
factory goin' on 20 years ago.  Best damned boat I ever owned.  She's
s'posed to be a general recreation family sort of boat, but she'll out
perform anything but one of them fancy racing canoes!  She's all full of
dings and cracks...wife made me do some patching before I took her out
last year...somehow she thinks water should stay outside the
boat...silly woman...I swear that boat could dance if you played the
music loud enough.  Buying the boy a fancy paddle for christmas...next
year HE can do the work while I do the fishing!

Other people we go on these canoe trips with think that I'm one hell of
a canoeist, because I keep up all right and they know I'm not getting
much work out of the boy.  It ain't me, its the boat and the paddle.
There's no substitue for well designed stuff.
