    The business end of my 1997 Wrangler. I bought this Jeep in 2003. The odometer has since rolled over twice, and she’s still my everyday driver. During the last fifteen years, other cars and trucks have come and gone. But I’ll never sell my Jeep. The bottom photo was taken when we were both...

    No, Sir. In eastern North Carolina. AF

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Haha! Nowadays, if my Jeep is four-wheeling, it’s because I’ve accidentally run off of the pavement. It’s more of a old guy’s kiddy car than a serious off-road vehicle. AF

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Jeeping around town running errands, today. Wearing a Mallory OR clone. I’m guessing this hat was made well after Stetson aquired Mallory. In fact, it’s quality...or lack thereof...reminds me of the stiff, cardboard-like ORs made a decade ago. But it’s still a good hat everyday wearing...and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    At the “Sportsman’s Barber Shop” in James City, North Carolina...waiting for a haircut. The topic of conversation this morning: How a big garfish can tear up your best bass lure. Wearing my “beater” ‘seventies OR. AF

    What's for Dinner?

    Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight, so I’m making “Dorm Room Spaghetti”. It’s probably the first recipe I ever “mastered”. The classic version is made from inexpensive bottled ragu, inexpensive ground beef and whatever vegetables one can scrounge together. Oh, and I’m making it in the same...

    What's for Dinner?

    Roux making 101: From light and buttery to dark and nutty, every color has a unique flavor. This roux took well over an hour to make. It looks like chocolate, but it’s pure Cajun goodness. And it turned into tonight’s andouille and chicken gumbo. Served over long-grain rice, with a crust of...

    My Buzz Rickson’s B-15D (1952 model) Jacket

    I’ve already posted this image over on another thread. I thought y’all might enjoy it. It’s civil rights activist, E. W. Steptoe wearing a C or D series B-15. The photo was taken in the early 1960s. Mr. Steptow owned a small dairy farm, in those days. He probably wore this Korean War era...

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    Family and homemade stuff. I built the mantle in my wood shop. Jackie took the photo hanging above it. The Remington model 1889 was my maternal great grandfather’s. The pocket watches belonged to my father and great grandfather. The jugs, churns and plates are antique North Carolina...

    Vintage roadside

    Saw the Dorothea Lange North Carolina roadside photo earlier in this thread. A year or so ago, my neighbors and I recreated her 1930s photo on my North Carolina Man Deck. AF

    Favorite Keeper Leather Jackets

    This isn’t a particularly rare or expensive jacket. But I don’t think rare and expensive was what Van was asking to see. In fact, when it comes to leather jackets, “rare or expensive” doesn’t necessarily translate to “favorite and keeper”. There probably isn’t even a good correlation between...

    Favorite Keeper Leather Jackets

    I only have a couple of nice leather jackets. A few older G-1s and this Goodwear A-1. The photo is from a while ago, when I was a bit younger. AF

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Elon Musk wearing what may be an original E. Church M-422a. But the cuff knits appear to be missing and zipper pull looks odd. It’s definitely pre-sixties Navy Leather, but hard to know exactly what from this photo. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I’m among a group of retired guys who meet for coffee at B-Bop’s Cafe most weekday mornings. One of our “members” is now taking ukulele lessons and, today, he brought his uke to show us what he’s learned. After rocking through a rendition of “Tiny Bubbles” he handed the uke to me. I play...

    My Buzz Rickson’s B-15D (1952 model) Jacket

    My doctor has a very dry sense of humor. One day he told me, “Geoff, when you first became my patient...twenty years ago...you were young and fat. Now you’re old and fat, and you can’t be both. So choose one or the other.” AF

    My Buzz Rickson’s B-15D (1952 model) Jacket

    Thanks, Big J. I actually lost all that weight last year. I went on a pretty strict low-carbohydrate diet in January of 2017. It wasn’t easy because it changed just about everything I had been accustomed to eating for sixty years. But the pounds soon started falling off like crazy. My goal...
