Western, anyone?

I don't much like wasting whiskey on the dogs, but the only time in my life I've ever been jealous of a big ole Hereford bull was watching him have a case of Bud poured down his throat to keep him calm for showing at the Illinois State Fair.
Later
Living in the country we always had lots of red hounds around. Their big long thin-skin ears would get covered in ticks & we constantly had to pull them off. One of my grandpa's brothers who lived nearby would give each of his hounds a bowl of beer to drink & after it took effect he would use pliers to pull off the ticks & drop them into a coffeecan filled with kerosene to kill them.

An old Canadian made Stetson. Could never get comfortable in a hat this big. Tried going for a teardrop crown but finally gave up. Knocked it back out to open crown and gave it a Conagher / Monty Walsh bash.

Not sure where or when I would wear this outside of the yard, but I do love the western style.

"Give me back my bullets"? Thought they were in your pocket?

Thanks ET. The pattern for the beaded hatband came from one that Kiowa Chief Rolling Thunder wore on his hat, and later his son, also Chief Rolling Thunder. While green is not normally a Native American color I chose the colors to go with this hat.

Chief Rolling Thunder is who Dylan named his Rolling Thunder Review Tour after. I always wondered why he chose the horsehair & flowers for his hat. Maybe it was due to the white face makeup.

Hey Johnny, that hat does fit your face where you have the sweat band located. Personally I think it looks like it's made for you.

Wow, Johnny, that is one wonderful lot of a Stetson. Looks good inside the yard. Deserves to be seen outside.
