W. & G. Schuchard "J. Harris & Co. Strand 32 London", possibly later 1950s and a recent arrival.

Unfortunately the plastic protector has further degraded.

Very nice Steve. A lot of character on the one.

Champ De Luxe. This a very chameleonic felt. Shifts from green to brown/tan to grey/taupe. Quite the color shifter. With all that going on I went the entirely opposite direction for shirt color To be safe.

Once again I am behind on this thread.

But I have a really good reason!

This past Monday I rented a car and set out on my first road trip in the US since 2022. I drove alone from Alabama to southwestern Oklahoma to visit family. I just made it back home a few hours ago.

It was an excellent test of my health and I did really well. I still have some brain fog issues but the vertigo is almost non-existent now and I felt sharp and alert all the time I was driving.

Could be the Gannon was helping me see things clearly. This was his first road trip as well.... I think he's just as ready to get to work as I am!

These photos are from earlier in the week, but it was the Gannon the whole way.

Have a great start to your work week, friends.

Mr Moose the lab is usually a background fixture, but sometimes he stay still enough to pose... Think the old Whippett looks good on him! lol

Thank you, gentlemen.

Stefan, thank you very much. As always, I'm happy anytime I get to see your OR wandering about Europe. Pretty nice in the sun as well.

Thanks, Greg. It may not be its natural habitat, but it has adapted very well!

Sorry but that hat is too nice for any dog (though that fella does look pretty cute wearing it)!

Been away for a while. Three nights in Melbourne, two in an airplane with 73 screaming vomiting kids. My Acorn Fawn Stylemaster took the trip with me. The vomiting began with one kid on day one in Australia (not the flight). It hit its peak on the last day. One in the bus, and continuing on the flight home, and another two on the flight.
The photos are taken in front of the Puffing Billy small gauge steam engine. Our failure to get the students to take motion sickness medicine before riding likely contributed to the problems.

Sleep deprivation, both in Australia, and especially on the flight home have made me the latest to succumb. I’ve been on water and “Oral Rehydration Solution” all day, as I’m unable to hold anything else down. Also struggling with headaches and stiffness.

That said, the hats I’ve been catching up on on this thread have offered some respite. There have been some truly magnificent offerings, and quite a few that I’d like to comment on individually, but with this brain fuzz, I don’t really feel up to it.

What a fabulous photo. Steam technology might be antiquated but it still holds a fascination. That intoxicating smell of oil and water in a cloud of steam, just wonderful. The hat too is of the era, compliments to you, your photo has really made me smile.

My wife Tina, indulges me, knowing my love of steam, she bought us a couple of tickets for a vintage event at at a preserved heritage railway. Seen here, the two of us being photo-bombed by Hercules, not that I minded.
