What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

Sounds like you brought that one back to life Randall. I'd say, you enRiched it, my friend.

Thanks, Steve. I like your wording.
May just name it that.

 

[Steve1857]

You're welcome, Randall.
It surely deserves that name.

Stay well, buddy!

Thanks, Steve. I like your wording.

A sho nuff victory.
Suede Marque Grand Luxe Salvatore Balbi Borsalino, 50s? The diagonal liner seam is sewn together not just folded. Idk a thing about these hats, but I know quality when I see it and wear it.
2 1/2 inch brim. 4 1/2 inch crown front as creased, so great proportions! The felt is super incredible!!

 

[Steve1857]

That is a beauty of a Borsalino, Randall.

Wow, Terry. Love that long hair.

Hope you and yours are well.

Thank you Steve! I found a tan Western longhair that I had laying around which may end up being its lighter colored twin sometime in the future...and I hope you and yours are well too.

 

[Steve1857]

Thank you, we are.
Great to see you converting and refurbing again, Terry. Hope your back is bearing up.

Stetson "mothmunch" for a little yard work and compost turning.
Be safe all.

Great to see you back! Looks great.

This old beat up Super Borsalino that I managed to clean up somewhat has really allowed me to step up my lawn mowing hat game. I’m feeling a bit @Short Balding Guy today... ok not quite. But a step in the right direction.

But then it could all be in the monitor....

Greetings All:
Today....it’s not a hat...i know!!
But...i got a story and since we all have time...what the heck.
My perpetual nap was interrupted by a frantic mother call who locked the only keys and two year old in the car across town. My old Audi, not an easy break-in.
Time was of the essence so, yes mother, break the window, i’m on my way. Threw on whatever and lit out. Half way there a call, all’s well, got the keys.
It turns out with 3 butter knives and a coat hanger you can fish the keys to a two year old who can un-lock herself no sweat.
Now the good part...was the baby panicked, freakin out because of the dire conditions around her that all us adults realized??
Hell no...she was dancing in the carseat to the beep of the car alarm!! She said she was brave and it was an adventure!!

Now i’m thinking there’s some lessons in there for us all. Maybe we should take a lesson from a two year old and just calm the **** down during dire times.
Either that or drink the kool-aid.
Me...thank you Willow, i’m going back to my nap.
Be well and safe.

Great story, B.
I think the moral of it is: stay calm and keep dancing.
Who says we can't learn from the young?

Thank you, we are.

Thank you, Steve. That was a conversion I did last year. Still a few issues with the back but getting better. The wife's been recovering from her eye surgeries and the sight in her right eye looks to be returning little by little. I've been tending to her pretty much and doing all the housework, laundry, doing dishes, tending to the pets....I'm beginning to think she's milking it though.
