Rains gone for a couple of days... but its COLD again. Acorn Akubra Stylemaster keeping the head warm this morning. This one came to me pretty crushed up and I worked it into a swoop brim ( my other Acorn Stylemaster is still the original snap brim
Stormy, Thundery, rainy morning... Had to postpone my morning coffee run until the storm line was passed. ( Had to stay home and keep Mr Moose the Lab calm with all the thunder). Finally all moved out and clearing up a bit. Still a bit of light rain so I pulled on the new RM Williams waxed...
I feel your pain.... since October here, literally every package coming here through USPS DFW/ Coppell Tx has disappeared for 5-6 days. Looking forward to seeing what you got ( when they BOTH get there lol)
Just a sidebar question regarding Australian gear... I noticed that the RM Williams has a left handed zipper. I remember years back I had to buy a jacket at an airport in Argentina ( when Laska Airlines lost my luggage) and it had a left handed zipper. ( going to Tierra del Fuego in shirt...
Ok may have changed my mind... as much as I like the big green hats, I REALLY like the Graphite Grey Banjo Patterson and its fish skin band ....Its an all Austrailian afternoon
Mailman showed up today with a package,,, a RM Williams waxed cotton jacket to replace my long lost Barbour. If my memory is correct, this coat is a heavier weight fabric than the old Barbour. feels substantial. Just in time for the rain starting tonight.
SO today I have a new job...
I did opt for the Jameson route, Dark roast french press, heavy sugar, heavy cream and a couple shots in each big mug... its doing the job! ( or at least it makes me not notice the malady)
Well darn... the chills came back yesterday afternoon. Not as bad as before but they're back. Weathers cooling down a bit and getting ready to be wet the next several days. Back into sweaters and warm hats. Today we pulled on a nice Sovereign Stetson Firenze in Graphite... really nice dark grey...
Thought id celebrate surviving the cold by doing something positive. Since I started the day with a Big Black Stetson, I decided Id work a bit on the Big Black Resistol that I did the brim curl on. I originally put a silver concho hatband on it, but decided I preferred something a bit less...
Definitely one of those hats that handles foul weather well! Is yours Imperial or Heritage felt? We dont get much snow down here, but we DO get downpours... Ive never seen any grade of Akubra hat that had any after effects getting soaked. My only observation is that that the Heritage felt...
Well I appear to have survived round number two of the creeping crud. Much better this morning after two and a half days. Saw in the news that the CDC was reporting 24 million cases of influenza, and 310,000 case requiring hospitalization in the past 30 days. Guess it wasnt my imagination lol...
FIghting some kind of bad bug here...whatever I had last week has returned with a vengance. Bad headaches, severe chills. Every joint hurt... all the muscles are sore... heck even my hair follicles hurt lol. The plan is to stay bundled up at home , hydrate myself, and whine in private. Hoping...
