    Making a stiff hat soft

    Fur felt won't be hurt by warm water. What is steam anyway? I wouldn't boil the hat though.

    Rita...not Hayworth

    Absinthe, my friend... Good to hear from you...Frank Billingsly now says that we are just going to get tropical storm force winds 50 to 75 mph. It would appear that Rita is tracking a little more eastward. So anything on the east side of 45 will bin in better shape. Better for us but worse...

    Are We Not Male?

    I'm a man... Right after HS I went into the Marines. Right after that I became a cop and a daddy. Right after that I became a Christian and had a couple more kids. I teach my boy to act like a man and treat women like ladies. I hate modern modern culture and counter culture. I hate the...

    LOST

    I was disapointed to say the least... I don't think I'll miss CSI to Lost ever again. And then Invasion sucked too.

    Making a stiff hat soft

    I find that each consecutive wetting in the rain or manually in the tub or a watering trough, will make a cowboy hat softer. I will sometimes manually manipulate the felt with my hands to make it softer.

    Rita...not Hayworth

    Everything is battened down, plenty of water and food. Linda and the kids are staying. Traffic on all roads is bumper to bumper for miles. The major N to S Freeway through Houston is Hwy45 and there is a 100 mile back up from Houston north. If you didn't get out there's no way now. Folks...

    Rita...not Hayworth

    This ain't my first rodeo. Linda and the kids are leaving early Fri. morn to Seguin, outside San Antonio. Predictions are that my area will get 75 to 100 mph winds, with possible tornadic activity. Power out for at least the weekend maybe more. Coastal areas around Houston will have over 145...

    LOST

    I watched the reruns this summer and thought it was ok. I may watch it and I think I'll catch the new Hurricane/Alien premier.

    Rita...not Hayworth

    I guess it's my turn. I will not be evacuating, I live about 90 miles north of Galveston. The major Hwys are bumper to bumper for miles and miles. My family may go to San Antonio...maybe. It looks like it may even be a Cat 5. My cell phone dosen't work and all the land lines are busy. We...

    One should never wear shorts to work. May as well wear flip flops too.

    These are golden age accurate, would you do it?

    I don't have much use for sweaters or ties, and yes I sometimes wear my hats with the brim snapped up all the way around. I don't wear ties much unless it's a really formal ocassion. When dressing up with a jacket you could say that I have the "Monk" from the USA Network style...ie...I button...

    cutting the brim

    I think I'll go to a Western Outfitter in north Houston that I do some business with. There is a specific tool that he uses to put the eyelets in the crown. As for the pictures, can't wait to post a bunch of stuff, but sadly I don't have a digital that works. Haven't been able to justify the...

    How many folk know their own country's anthem these days?

    Or... The French and Indian War?

    Great British television.

    Anybody remember UFO? The characters used to drive around in Delorians, what a hoot that show was. I tried to watch "Have You Been Served Yet" once, I didn't like it.

    The Grapes of Wrath Deputy Hat...

    While watching the The Grapes...the other day for about the hundredth time, I became very interested in the hats worn in the scenes showing the Deputy Sheriffs in California. The hats were a Silverbelly (I think, BW movie can't really tell) with what appeared to be a 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inch brim...
