    Crown Height

    If I recall Scotrace is a LO. I know he wears Akubras. Seems he said somewhere he stretches his on his knee and they fit fine. I may be wrong, but I think it was Scotrace.

    I tried on a few hats.

    I agree completely.

    Elderly Parents and Bad Illness

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for you and the family. Your attitude seems to be in excellent shape. There are always many emotions at these times. The trick seems to be accepting and dealing with each one.

    Flashlights?

    I carry a 6LP LED. Very bright and and lasts a long time. The Arc is durable and reliable, far more so than a maglite, which I came to hate. But they are simply not bright enough for most of my uses. I need the light to be able to reach out. If you need just bit of light to see your way to...

    Flashlights?

    I prefer Surefire flashlights. I carry one most of the time. Mine puts out 80 lumens and has a lithium battery, which lasts a long long time. It also has a button on the back to temporarily turn it on for quick assessing, or you can turn the back for constant light. They are also designed to...

    Before I Die...

    Have you read F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Very similar story to what you describe. If not, you should pick up a copy .

    Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type

    Do a search here. There is a good description on a website, but I can't remember the link. I should I've been there numerous times, but I can't recall.

    Bad Vintage Movies

    Well said Fletch. I still agree with Twitch about it's maddening mundaneness at time, but you are right you ave to listen with an ear from their point of view to enjoy those movies. I like film noir despite their campiness at times.

    bye bye television!

    I agree with Reetpleat. I watch certain channels. I like Monk for a modern show. I love the history channel and discovery. Unfortunately I don't get TCM though I wish I did. I am not willing to pay for the package for all the crap to get that. We do watch a lot of dvd's as well. I also...

    Should Hat color match suit?

    The hat shouldn't clash, but doesn't have to match. Personally I wear a lot of blue suits. I find grey and some brown hats work well. Probably some other colors as well, but I stick to conservative matches as that is the world I live in. I do not like black suits personally. They are not...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    One of my favorite pastimes in college was to sit with one of my professors and smoke a pipe in his office. Dr. Jones and I would sit and discuss airplanes, aviation history and guns. Besides being one of my aerospace profs he was the owner of a gun shop, where I also spent countless hours...

    Pipes

    I'm glad you're enjoying the pipe RedPop. I really enjoy 965 and all Frog Morton blends. Just an FYI for those who may have interest in perique. It is grown only one place in the world, a relatively small bit of land in one area of Louisiana. Latakia is one of those tobaccos either really...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    It really doesn't matter. Cello is permeable so humidity gets in, or out. It makes absolutely no difference. But yours is one of the most common questions in all of cigardom, fear not the dumb question.

    GAMERS of the Lounge!

    Let's see games. I played football, baseball and raced motorcycles. Another game was shooting almost everyday. My dad's idea of a game for me was to see how many logs I could split in an afternoon. Games were playing with a couple of neighbor kids outside until dark, even in the winter...

    Show us your Guns!

    S&W was primarily a mass producing manufacturer so long and by far the main supplier to law enforcement that I doubt there's any company with more used weapons on the market than S&W. They are easy to find at gun shows. Inspect carefully, you will often find they have barrels turned too far...

    That's great. I love the holster too.
