    Phoenix Hat Company

    I'm following up from a post a few days ago with pictures of my new Phoenix granite beaver hat. Rick builds a fine hat - I am so pleased with all three he has taken the time to make for me! The hat arrived very well packaged, with a nice hat box inside a heavier corrugated cardboard box. The...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From the recent movie, The Highwaymen: Frank Hamer: "I'm sorry, Gladdy." Gladys Hamer: "Don't be. I knew what you were when I married you." and another from Gladys, as Frank is preparing to drive away in her new Ford V-8: "Something else, if you're covering miles, keep oil in her." I thought...

    I got a note from Rick that my new Granite beaver with "antique" Rose Wine ribbon is on the way. It may be here tomorrow, but I will not be able to post photos until the weekend. Here's the shot Rick sent - I'm excited!

    A 12-gauge coach gun will really get your attention... on both ends! Nice guns.

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Uh-oh, now I feel a little like a rodeo clown. The first hat Rick built for me was specifically for wearing in the woods and in the canoe. To be fair, Rick knew it was going to be a beat-'em-up hat from the start, but he still put his best efforts into it. It was a beaver western-weight hat, and...

    Yes indeed, variety is good and I do like a couple of those colors. I just wonder if you could order a duplicate felt and get the same thing?

    Boy, no wonder we have such a hard time pinning down colors! Even the manufacturers can't be consistent about it.

    Well, I didn't need that! ;) But it is very funny!

    Hats on TV

    His behavior in Virginia during the war proves he was all these things, and much worse. I hate that all those lives were lost on the day Custer received his due, but I would have gladly ridden with the Native Americans if it meant getting a shot at Custer!

    And they are destructive as all get out. I don't know who tears up more stuff around my place - raccoons or bears (or me!).

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Uh-oh, here we go! ;) I would expect the same regional “general principles” that applied in years past of being different people from a distant part of the country. Folks become less friendly and a lot more judgmental of others when they’re competing for resources, whether that means jobs...

    Rick sent this picture of my granite Western-weight, still wet on the block. He admitted he had to wrestle this one a while to get the tall crown I prefer. This one will get a vintage-looking faded maroon ribbon that is as close as I could find to that intriguing “slate” ribbon that Michael...

    Cowboy Boots

    My first thought would be boot knife, too, but it looks like the snap may be on the inside of the right leg of the boot? In other words, you would have to reach between your legs to draw? That would seem to be awkward. I can’t quite make out the orientation from the pictures. Nice find, no...

    Concrete is hard work, no matter if you’re placing, finishing, drilling, or demolishing it. Those last photos look like quite a few of the jobs I’ve been involved in over the years. I guess the answer to the question on the truck is “Yes”? ;)

    I think your “tries” are pretty darn impressive, though! Thanks again for taking us to “The Big Trees”.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    AMEN! You may be interested in a book I'm reading right now, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. It's pretty insightful.

    Great photos, thanks very much for sharing. But those trees are so tall, no photo does them justice - you really have to see them for yourself. My wife and I took a "California Coast" trip a few years back, so I could show her the sights along the coast and a couple of my old fire camps. But...
