Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

[Just A Hat Rack]

Akubra Blue Mountains protected me from a few passing showers this morning.

Here's my Gannon Whiskey 100X Beaver that saw it's 5th shower earlier in the week.

And my Akubra Federation Deluxe IV getting some more action today. This one has seen a few showers as well. First one is no flash 2nd is with flash.

Today was our 9th consecutive day with measurable rain. Tomorrow could tie the record at 10 & Tues could set a new one. Chances for measurable rain tomorrow are 50% & Tues @ 40%. Then we skip a day but expect more rain beginning on Thurs.

Rand's providing some good shelter.

Had to clear leaves from an outdoors drain during a heavy rain. The rain helped me pinch a tighter crease in this Akubra Territory. Work on it will continue.

HA! That's awesome HJ, using nature to your advantage. The tight crease looks great.

Thanks Rick. It was a dry crease I did a couple days ago before the rain. I’ll wait until it dries but I can probably get it tighter & deeper now with some steam & tools.

That's pretty funny Terry! I was thinking the same thing.

I was out walking my dog and enjoying the day when all of a sudden the Sun popped out from behind a cloud and my hat got sunshine all over it. So, I hotfooted it back to the house and snapped a picture of my hat.

Two hats, one rain.
How? Well, I went out fishing. Saw dark clouds moving in so I did the right thing and kept fishing. Started raining. I got wet. Came home and unloaded the kayak and then noticed my Akubra Sombrero sitting on a stump. I was wearing it earlier in the day and took it off and forgot about it. I do that all the time.

But the most important question is, did you catch anything?

You probably want to stop doing that; too easy to lose a good hat.

Well now, a guy doesn't fish and tell.
Seriously though, not even a dang bite!

Most of the fishermen I know, don't catch and still tell (tales). Me, I'm completely honest about all my fishing experiences.

Parts of the state received over 12" of rain during the severe thunderstorms last night. Conditions are now set for another 2-3" tonight. My Akubra Territory gets a workout while I keep an outdoors drain free of leaves & maple seeds.

The radar is a lie.

New to the forum, stumbled across this thread and figured I'd share one from last winter. My Akubra Stockman at work.
