Love the picture!!

Straw hats are what I started wearing to keep me shaded. I have since graduated to felt or palm.

Sweet little side-arm, too.

Thank you.

Sunbody Hats

https://www.sunbody.com/

I buy them flat brimmed and uncreased so I can crease them to the Fedora shape I prefer. Usually buy 3-4 at a time and replace themas they wear out. The two oldest stay at the back door. The oldest is my yard hat, next is my “meeting customers” hat and at the front door is the one with the hatband. I have a horsehair hatband that has graced maybe 10-12 hats.

And, I introduced that revolver in the thread as you requested.

Thank you. In winter, I wear a felt hat of the same general size and shape. I usually start with a western hat,Stetson, Resistol, or similar a get the steamer going. It takes a while but they come out nice.

I've had a Bluegrass band called Windy Ridge since 1972. When I got my e-mail account, Windy Ridge was taken so I opted for Ridgegrass. WR is based in Maryland. There's another one somewhere else. I see them on You Tube but I don't know them at all or when they started. Windy Ridge was the road our first fiddle player, Jude Restivo, (a.k.a. Judd Hawkins) lived on. J.O'.

It's a dadgummed shame ole T.J. ain't still suckin' air. Tom was a guitar plucker in a Bluegrass band down in the Covington KY area. Unfortunately we lost him to dementia a few years back. He was a great person and a heck of a guitar picker. You two would have gotten on just fine.

Thankgod4rkids goes back 19 or 20 years when I needed a username for something. My wife thought it up and I've used it ever since. We had 4 kids at the time ended up with 5 so my wife uses Luvr5kids.

I've always read that as "Thank God for kids"
Scripture says kids are a gift from God and blessed is the man whose quiver is full (context meaning has many kids).
