    Musician's hats

    I really fancied Toy’s steel guitar style. Interesting that you posted this right after a Charlie Daniels post - one of my favorite pieces of Toy’s pedal steel work is in the CDB’s “Sweetwater Texas”.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    First off, I think you know best what your wife and family would consider "respectful", but your plans sound to me like a fine way to honor your wife. Second, just to relay a recent experience - I struggled with whether or not to wear a tasteful black fedora to a graveside funeral service and...

    That looks cool and inviting. Very nice place!

    My goodness, Al, I'm so sorry to hear that, and can't even begin to imagine the pain of your loss. If it's any consolation, that you were able to care for her at home throughout the course of the disease is a nearly-heroic act, and I am sure she understood and appreciated that. I, too, don't...

    Haha! Yeah, me too. "And don't you tell no one!" ;)

    I'm hoping there are photos to go with this post, especially if there are before-and-after shots. ;) There is indeed sometimes more value in restoring old cherished possessions than just buying something new, and I agree with you that it is usually more satisfying.

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    Very nice hat, and very glad you're up and getting outside! I hope your recovery continues to go well.

    Recovery from chemo.....

    Glad that you are making positive progress, sir, although even intermittent chemo is no cake walk. I sure hope you continue to do well and are able to come back to the Lounge more often.

    Your favorite movie quotes

    Boy, that sure sums up my experience with, and opinion of, horses. I know a lot of folks (even some on this board) will vehemently disagree with me, but every horse I've ever had more than a passing acquaintance with was nothing more than a pasture thug. I guess I've just never had the good...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Well, to be fair, you were right too! ;)

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    And then when you snap the lid shut, it puts spring tension on the lid to hold it closed - the tip of the lever inserts into a small pocket in the lid, and when the lid is snapped shut the lever toggles the other direction and puts pressure against the pocket to hold the lid shut. That's why the...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Yes, thank goodness there are still young people that are willing to do the job they accepted and that they are getting paid to do, instead of demanding a $15 minimum wage for, apparently, hiding in the janitor's closet for the whole shift. And by and large, a career-specific college education...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    I grew up on a farm and still raise some stock, and have been a hunter since I was pretty young. But I do not understand the appeal of bull fighting at all, and I don't have any particular fondness for bulls, either. From the perspective of the animal, would you rather die quickly and...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Well, this certainly explains a lot about the state of the current work force.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    What a shame! But he left a legacy behind. He was a great songwriter - many of his songs had a wry type of humor without being quite as silly as some of his more famous ones.

    Very nice! I really like both the colors and the shape of this hat.

    Deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. It's small consolation, I know, but it sounds like you got a lot out of the time you were able to share with him. You and your family will be in our prayers.
