how many years can a forum last? will you still be a active member in 10 - 15 years?
Hi Undertow, that's probably the best oxymoron that I've ever seen. We're new at being old. Back to topic. I've on several VERY old lists for my other interests. They are more self policing, but do a great job at it. We do get a little SPAM every once in a while, but since you have to get...- 1961MJS

John Wayne's Akubra?
I added the brim binding to keep it creased better, so I don't really want to cut the brim down. I was going to have it cut back, but I have a Campaign hat (Jaxonbilt) with a 4 inch brim and like it o.k. I'll just have to live with that. I was already worried about the crown height being too... -
Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
Capitalism shows that there is a good "ism". I remember going to the National Amway convention in the "Spring" of 1982, and amazing the natives by asking the doorman at the hotel where a couple of rednecks could go get a quite beer. Apparently THEY thought it wasn't safe to talk to the Admiral...- 1961MJS

Falcon Park Hattery
Hi Job Wow, no flash, it LOOKS like two completely different hats, but the darker picture looks like it's inside. My favorite HAT measurements are 2.75 brim and 5.75 crown and I'm only a 7 3/8 sized heat. I own a similarly shaped hat from Tony B, same crease but with the above measurements... -
Falcon Park Hattery
Hi If that's Pecan and Burgundy, then I think you're too close and using too much flash. The center picture seems to be an actual Pecan color. So, what are the specifics? Brim, crown etc. Just my $0.02 -

John Wayne's Akubra?
Thanks Sam I have a double loop stampede string, but it won't lay down right. I figured I'd work on that after I get the crown done correctly. Later -
John Wayne's Akubra?
Hi Here's the Resistol before I took it to Jack's. This is a picture from the top: Here are three pictures of the hat after Brian got done with it: You can see that I tried to do a John Wayne / Ford Cavalry Crease without enough crown to work with. The brim looks good and the hat... -
Horse Racing 101
Hi I've been to the track a whole twice in 50 years. I went years ago and bet $2 at a time, but I bet the Trifecta, the Daily Double, and every other silly combination bet that there was. I did note that on that day, had I bet the top 2 JOCKEY'S to show, I would have made some money. Good...- 1961MJS

Hi The Four Freedoms, I had to look them up, are a strange mix in that respect. Freedom of speech and expression Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear Freedom of speech and expression is a more bipartisan "Freedom". Freedom of worship is primarily...- 1961MJS

Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
Wow Lizzie, I have never thought of that before. That's kind of sick in a way (sick is too strong, but I'm tired). Unfortunately I'm pretty sure you're also right, which makes it worse. I'm not a lot of things, but with the exception of wealthy, I like most of them pretty well. Later- 1961MJS

John Wayne's Akubra?
Hi I just got my Resistol back from Brian yesterday. The brim and ribbon look great, but the whole John Ford Cavalry hat didn't work because the crown isn't high enough. I'll post pictures when I get a chance, (I have a 4H match starting at 6 AM tomorrow morning). I have pictures of the... -

How to travel with hats
Hi, for a few years, our range officer would close the relay with "Cease Fire, Clear and Ground your weapons, actions open, magazines out, guns on the bench, IUD's installed." We have ECI's, Empty Chamber Indicators. Obviously we need to get out more catching little stuff like that. Later -
How to travel with hats
Hi again Don I was supposed to be in your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks, ALL WEEK, but the customer (USAF) ran out of travel money. When I've traveled to Seattle in the past, I wear a Gortex jacket with HUGE pockets. The hat rain cover folds small enough for outerwear, but probably... -

I didn't catch that before. My mind reels with sarcastic replies and I can't pick just one. Obviously he meant IED's not IUD's, unlesssssssss, he's quoting the TSA. Later -

Golden Age Farming
Howdy, I"m now a city slicker (I guess). My Granddaddy Harv DID sell the mules when he retired from Farming in 1963 or 4. I remember seeing them in the pasture for a year or so after his stroke. The only true golden era farmers around now are Amish, and most of them aren't much on the...- 1961MJS
