    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I admit my ignorance of such things up front, so please don't think I'm trying to poke at anyone - are the bell ends of trumpets and trombones not round? How does an oval mute work? All I've ever seen look more like a broad round funnel with a covered top, if that makes sense. Or for a different...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    That’s also an interesting version. If that staircase was originally built and initially used without banisters, it would have been a worrisome climb and a scary descent! Either way it’s an amazing piece of craftsmanship.

    Rick Walker (@humanshoes) of Phoenix Hat Co. made me a hat that he said was from a "mid-weight" pure beaver felt he had just gotten in. This was a few years ago, so I do not know if it is the same felt as the 6-ounce you mention, but I'm pretty certain it was a Winchester felt. It is noticeably...

    Thanks a lot, gentlemen, I appreciate your consideration. Losing pets and friends sure is hard, but not as hard as it would be as it would be to live life without either. Of course, many times pets and friends are the same thing.

    Vintage things that have REAPPEARED in your lifetime?

    "Multi-function" buttons, switches, and menus are the devil's own invention, and just one more modern thing that I struggle with. See all those switches in an airplane cockpit? They're there because they need to be, and they only do one thing each, whether in a calm pre-flight check or in a...

    Well, it's my turn to join the it's-really-hard-to-lose-a-faithful-companion club. For fourteen years our beagle Ellie Mae shared our home and hearts. She loved to hunt, either with me or on her own, and energetically guarded our homeplace from rabbits, squirrels, and other various varmints...

    Today in History

    Today we remember and mourn the folks lost in the cowardly September 11 attacks on our country, and those who have died since in an attempt to make sure it doesn't happen again. We will never forget.

    I really like that color combination, but on my monitor that hat looks tan or fawn colored rather than silverbelly, so I'm wondering what the real colors look like? It's notoriously tough to get accurate color representation from real life to a computer screen. Anyway, I like the colors I see. ;)

    Loungers' Pets

    Very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet. She was a beauty! I never considered myself a "cat person", but about 5 years ago we rescued a cat that was supposed to be a barn cat for us, but she was so loving that she turned herself into a pet. We lost her just a couple of weeks ago to an...

    So very sorry to hear this, Bob. Pets really are part of the family. 15 years is a good run, though, and from the photos you've posted over the years it is very apparent she had a good home and was well loved, and I'm sure she knew this.

    Well, I thought it was worth a try! :)

    The battle site is Sharpsburg (the Yankees know it as Antietam). The general is a name very similar to McClellan, that I can't quite conjure up at the moment. Do the points go towards a free hat?? ;)

    The big smile says it all! Michael makes fine hats, and this one looks great on you. Congratulations, hope you get years of happy wear out of it!

    Interesting, especially the third photo - you don't often see camp moccasins caught in pictures. Thanks for posting that.
