    BON VOYAGE PARTY for Miss Queenie

    I think I can make it this time, in fact, I'm pretty sure of it. How late will we be staying?

    How many hats do you own?

    I just don't like the sweatbands on the modern Stetsons. The vintage ones are just nicer. I've never worn 'em in the rain (the situation just hasn't arisen), so I can't speak to the other complaints I hear about them. I'm just wondering just how many times I can use the word "Just" in one...

    Your Labor Day Plans?

    Three days off? I ain't had three days off since my last bout with the 'flu. But, as they say, that's show biz!

    Golden Era Planes of Fame

    Supermarine S6B, the Schneider Trophy, behind it what appears to be a Napier Lion engine (used in a few previous Supermarine Schneider Trophy racers) and on the right I would assume is a Rolls-Royce "R" engine as used in the S6B and which was the progenitor of the Griffon engine used in later...

    How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Suit

    Well, my friend at work occasionally buttons just the bottom two in a three-button, and it drives me nuts, (I suspect it's just because he was in a hurry) and I've seen Carson Daly button just the top button, usually with one shirttail hanging out.

    How many hats do you own?

    Just counted again, and I'm up to 37. Somebody needs to invent some kind of methadone for the hat addiction. Fedoradone?

    Just won this

    Fortunately or unfortunately, I have no-one in my life who must be obeyed. I've lost count of my hats. I wonder if there's a Betty Ford clinic for guys like me?

    Occupations

    Probably something in aviation. Maybe I could forge a degree in engineering and try to remember my basic drafting.

    How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Suit

    I'm afraid I always leave the back pockets unbuttoned. Until I started doing that, I always had broken or missing buttons from them getting caught on car door frames and such. If it's not too much of a faux pas I'd just as soon leave the back pockets off any custom-made trousers. I never use...

    Golden Era Planes of Fame

    There's just something about the Gee Bee. Take the biggest engine you can get your hands on, attach a wing, a tail, wheels, and a place for the pilot to sit, fair it all in, and bingo! Speed reduced to its pure essence.

    The Green Hornet

    It's interesting that someone suggested a Chrysler 300C for an updated Black Beauty. I was thinking the same thing.

    The Green Hornet

    I want that black Imperial! I had a '69, which was later than the Green Hornet car, but I loved that ol' tank. People would get the heck out of your way! :)

    More Retro-Looking Cars

    I've been reading that older guys (like me) are buying the xB because we don't have to fold ourselves up to get in and out. Toyota clearly aimed the car at a younger buyer, but you know how things work out, sometimes.

    The Knox Tom 'N' Jerry

    I think the stitching tended to stabilise the lighter felt. My Playboy has a single row of stitching near the edge of the brim. Good lookin' hat!
