    Tips for rebashing?

    HI I'd try the Western Store you mention. My hatter here sells 100% beaver hats that are substantially more than Art Fawcett etc. Getting an old hat redone is a LOT less expensive and is VERY well done. Later

    Route 66 (2012 Trip) - any one live along the route?

    Hi When I was growing up south of Springfield Illinois, Route 66 (now I-55) was awarded the "highway of death" for one of the years in the 1960's. 70 MPH and stop signs at the intersections. Springfield's Cozy Dog restaurant is a good stop to make. Nice place, 3rd or 4th generation owners...

    Clean Jokes

    Hi Personally, I go through ammo like a knife through butter. I have several friends that are more on the hoarder type. One buys 5K rounds for each gun when he buys it, then shoots say 50 rounds through it. If the Feds EVER decide to confiscate everything they're going to all die of massive...

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi I bought one of those $100.00 Resistol hats from Joe's hats in New Mexico (thanks Earl). It's at Hatman Jack's getting creased into the John Wayne Cavalry square and the brim flattened. Pictures when the new computer and the hat come in. Later

    To Tilt or Not to Tilt...That is the Question!

    Hiya Sam I went to see Hatman Jack today. Pictures when he gets done and when I get a new computer. O.K., why to the right? I tilt left so my shooting eye is less covered. later

    End of the Summer Sportcoat season?

    Hi You two have it easier in a way. It's not cool enough in Kansas to wear a sport coat from June until the end of September as a minimum. It didn't get below 80 Degrees F here until Mid October I think. I've been wearing a wool sportcoat to work this month and part of last, but it's nearly...

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    Hi Don't think of reenacting as "thinking you're a Colonel because you put in the insignia", think of it as "He's playing the part of a Colonel in the Union Army of 1862." A few reenacting outfits have a dual rank structure. There's the guy who "plays the part of the Colonel" and the guy who...

    Dog ownership - questions, costs??

    Hi This place has a lot of good information: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/search.htm The data in the link has been helpful in understanding puppy behavior, Great Pyrenees behavior, and Poodle behavior. I would suggest that if you have a backyard with 3 feet of snow and want a dog...

    Clean Jokes

    Well, actually I copied it from a previous clean joke because I thought it was hilarious in itself. I guess I should have know better with a blond joke. Later

    Does anyone know where the love of God goes...

    Hi One of the museums in Duluth had quite a bit of information on the Edmund Fitzgerald. I always thought it was odd that a ship sank in a lake, until I saw the lake. Later

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Hi It is my understanding from an old (5-10 years) article that the cost of imprisonment ($25K up) is STILL much less than the cost of crime as a whole. Apparently many criminals are prolific enough to cost well over $100K per year. Numbers are from memory. later

    Clean Jokes

    Hi If you're Blond and might find it unsettling to have a joke told about your hair color, I implore you to find another post now, before your delicate sensibilities are outraged. How to you know if a blond is a good cook? Wait for it... She can get the Pop-Tart out of the toaster without...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hi Earl (Have a good Veteran's day by the way) Thanks for the Self Conforming thread. If that hat's a blemish, I have NO CLUE where it is unless it's a short crown. I have three options I'm considering for the hat. 1. John Wayne Cavalry hat; 2. Roughrider hat; or 3. Boss of the Plains hat...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Hi Earl Same hat different face, more facial hair. The hat appears to be VERY good quality, so I'm satisfied that way. I was hoping that the hat was open crown, not cattleman's crease. For $124 including shipping, I"m not really upset though. I hope to be able to get Hatman Jack to put in...

    Man Cave/Vintage Lounge - Thoughts, anyone? (Heavy with photos)

    Hi In order to go truly vintage, you need to have a screen door that shuts using a large spring to get the great wham sound when it shuts. Obviously the rooms above don't need a screen door though. The leather chairs are good, but many older places I've been used the old Windsor wooden...

    Food network, anyone?

    Wow Lolly, hey ever heard of TurDucken? A chicken stuffed in a duck, stuffed in a Turkey. This must be the Mediterranean equivalent. I like most food with the following exceptions: 1. Hard Boiled Eggs; 2. White Gravy (same ingredients as paste); 3. Sardines; 4. Liver; 5. Rocky Mountain...

    Food network, anyone?

    O.K. David, if we hear about an Oklahoma zoo missing a camel, we won't tell as long as we get to try a steak or two.

    Hi Ordered one, they have a 5.5 inch open crown and a 4 inch brim. They have Chocolate, Silverbelly, Silvermist, and another color (Brain Fart). I ordered one in Silverbelly. I hope they look like the ones they have online for $360 and up (way up). According to...
