An old scanned photo of Hobie. This would have been taken in around 1992 or so, which would put Hobie at around 2 years old then. I was remodeling the house on 17th Ave. in Seattle & this was the front parlor after I'd sheetrocked, mudded, taped & painted but before I put the trim back up. So, sometime between late 1992 and late 1993. Huge project to do single handed, after work.
Anyway, Hobie was a pretty good sport during the construction. This was his favorite chair of all time. I picked it up at a yard sale for $15. It was pretty comfortable the couple of times I got to sit in it, then Hobie took it over and it spent the rest of the time I owned it being covered in cat hair.
The chair was given away or maybe sold at a yard sale when I moved to California in the Fall of 1994. Hobie's been looking for a substitute ever since, but nothing's ever quite measured up.
