What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

I fly out of Malaysia tomorrow on my homeward journey (with a layover in Japan). Unfortunately, my long-COVID symptoms returned this week so I am still not confident about returning to the trucking job. I might end up hiking the Appalachian Trail for a few months (I have already done the GA and half the NC sections), hoping that might strengthen me some more.

That's still a few months away. On the immediate horizon is Tokyo, which assuages somewhat the sting of leaving my beloved Melaka. Last evening, we had a boys night out at our favorite Pakistani restaurant and I am fully conscious of how much this city and its people mean to my life.

Today will be busy with packing and goodbyes. I am dressed down in the new Canadian beater. A few photos are included.

Happy end to your work week friends. More from me in the next few days from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Happy friday to all! Safe Travels, good health, and happy Hat Acquisition Syndrome efforts to everyone.

Hadnt had the old "Gus " out in quite a while. This one was a gifted Stetson Gus with some brim damage. ( a one inch tear on the front edge of the brim) Knocked a bit of he Gus Off and reblocked the crown. Trimmed the brim down to 2-5/8" to get rid of the damage and this little gem was usable again. I temporarily stuck the panama band on it with every intention of fitting some grosgrain, but the longer its on there, the more it looks like it belongs. Moral of the story... dont throw anything out... its probably salvagable!

Gorgeous VS, Perry.
A smooth, smug smile is certainly appropriate!

I'm so sorry to hear your symptoms have returned, Nathan. Praying that's only a momentary glitch in your healing. Safe travels, as always.
