In trouble with the Hat monkey

[daddy0d0]

Well I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. It turns out the bait monkey has a brother, The Hat Monkey and he found me. I suspect his brother told on me I fish and I am a victim of the mind control powers of the bait monkey Every 2 weeks or so a package arrives with new fishing baits and equipment, to my wife's consternation I so far have been able to ignore the Hat monkey's powers of persuasion but my resolve is starting to crumble like a cheap lawn chair.
Just this morning the monkey started whispering in my ear that I need a new hat, that it's been over a year since I got one. His persuasive powers are getting better as I now cannot stop thinking about a new hat. I'm more of an outback style kind of guy and the monkey knows this, he keeps whispering about an Akubra Angler in Loden( he knows I have the Angler in Fawn) and a Banjo Patterson in Heritage Fawn. Boy am I in trouble. Thank God he has not said anything about custom

The Hat Monkey has chained himself to me and I have to get a hat every day or so now...

Over a year without a new hat! I’m impressed with your willpower. I’m thinning down my hat collection and it still grows by a couple every month. I’m not sure that’s what “thinning down” actually means.

Have you looked at the prices and quality of The Phoenix Hat Company? A custom for a factory price....

Hat Monkey, seriously? Whatever next? You'll be telling me that hat wearing monkeys are doctors too.

I view "thinning down" as a process or journey, rather than a goal or destination. For instance, my New Year's Resolution a few years ago was to reduce my book stash by 5,000 books.

It took a few years, but I did it. We won't discuss how many books I acquired over those same years, but I did manage to thin my collection by 5,000. . . so it sounds to me like your goal of "thinning down your collection" is going well!

I've had the monkey for years. I'm running out of space to store my hat boxes but on the positive side I have a hat to match any mood or clothes choice. I might be dysfunctional but this place is full of us. I generally buy 4 a month. My kids will probably be mad at me when I die.

...and sell on all your hats for $5 a piece

Or for what I told my wife I paid for them.

I'm widowed so I don't have anyone griping at me. The kids know I always show up in different hats but they don't really know how bad it is. LOL

And then we have the 25 prs. of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. I won't be around to see their faces.

25 pairs, small fry. How could I possibly have, or even wear, 78 Aloha shirts, and counting? I can't even hide the cost of them, my missus makes them for me. Fabric, paper pattern, notions et al, come to about £60, thankfully the labour is free, but even so, sixty pounds a shirt..........it gets expensive.

LOL I think we can all agree we love fashion shopping. This dam internet makes it worse !!

It's not my fault I like looking sharp when I go out. It's in my DNA.
