    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Two stroke motorcycles. Where have all the ring dings gone? Probably meeting the same fate as my Mercury outboard motor - sitting in a corner of the garage.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    When Redfokker puts a hat up for sale you know you're getting a good one. I ended up with two homburgers (kind of like a hamburder for your head) from this gentleman, they're both REALLY nice. Here's the latest for my hirsute noggin, the old St. Regis. The hat is in nearly unused condition...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I'm pretty sure we've just found the best dressed man in Texas AND Oklahoma! I'm sitting here in a black Stetson Downs (which is pretty stylish) and an old grey sweatshirt with a hole in it. It's just terrible.

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    Nothing on the mob turned up but it looks like I'm wearing an ex- Seagram's Big Wig's hat on my head today. An excerpt from this history of Seagram Distillers: https://thebhc.org/sites/default/files/taylor_0.pdf Sam came to rely increasingly on long-time associates from the early days of the...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    Another sign that the Apocalypse is upon us. Devo is back with the Whip It Dome hat. Only $49.95 plus shipping.

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    I think you're being a little generous with that assessment regarding the politicians. I'll see what info I can dig up on the one that came with it. The seller was using a cell phone and he kept losing reception so I only got a little bit of history on them. He said there was quite a story...

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    While I didn't dig up any info on Congressman Stemle being grilled by a committee it appears that he wasn't above hanging out with drunken teen-agers. Is this a great country or what?

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    I try to be a good man and every so often fortune smiles upon me. I recently purchased two hats for the price of not much from a gentleman who had some sort of connection to Seagram's Whiskey. This Stetson Whippet belonged to the late Indiana Congressman, lawyer, member of the Indiana Alcoholic...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I can believe it sitting in NYC for a bit. I ordered an ancient Stetson from Greece a few weeks back and it's still somewhere in Greece waiting to be shipped. These aren't normal times and my hat is off (to coin a phrase) to the people out there doing the work. I've waited 60 years for...

    Any audiophiles here?

    Any audiophiles here?

    Then you'll have to see how efficient the speakers are, how big your listening area is and what volume you expect? As for tubes distorting, I suppose it depends on what you're doing. My stuff is pretty stout (VTL 250 and 300 monoblocks) so no distortion problems here. Total overkill for...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Someone mentioned shipping to NYC. They're having some issues at the moment. I sold a motorcycle seat and it went from PA to Jersey City to somewhere unknown and sat for 3 weeks before it finally made it to CT. Expect major delays, as they say.

    When mom gets a new sewing machine right before quarantine.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Yes, I've had them get hung up recently. Two are in limbo in Europe, one from Canada got stuck in California for about two weeks. You just have to be patient these days.

    I think it was more the angle in that eBay listing - what is that, a toaster? It needs a slice of bread popping out of the top...
