    This or That

    Who cares? Either will find their way to my stomach! Let's go the other way: Liver & onions or liver & bacon?

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot: I was notified that Australia Post has (or should have) my Akubra Campdraft. I received notice on Monday. Still no tracking info...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I believe the Stetson Reward Shantung I ordered from DelMonico is due to arrive today!

    Post New Hats Here!

    One down, two to go. This is the $8.99 cotton linen Stetson stingy brim I scored off eBay. As the seller stated, it's in perfect condition. My first summer hat (ironic that I'm wearing a winter flannel shirt in the photos!).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm not wearing a hat today. I'm in my home office, watching the 5"-8" of Spring we're getting today. And I've always believed it was impolite and improper to wear a hat indoors.

    Rollers in public

    Seeing a woman in rollers in public is a sight I do not miss.

    Name Something That Your Mother or Grandmother Cooked That Was Your Favorite!

    My mother made lamb patties. I think she added some smoke seasoning to the ground meat before frying. I've never found another like it. She also made what she referred to as "risi bisi," but it wasn't like the Italian dish other than it had rice and peas. She would generally just toss in...

    What are you listening to?

    I just got back from dinner at my daughter's. Just as I was leaving I saw a listing on Netflix that intrigued me. I fired up my Netflix, and now I'm listening to "Hans Zimmer: Live in Prague." The score from Hunt For Red October is among my favorites. (Audio only)

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    OK, I've gone crazy the past two days. I've ordered THREE new hats in preparation for the warmer seasons (ironic, as we're now getting our first heavy snow of the winter as I type this!). Part of the reason I'm posting this is to keep track of my madness! ;) I really only bought this one...

    That was my thinking, but so far, my research hasn't revealed any hatters in Costa Rica of any note.

    I take it that by your answer there aren't quality hat makers in Costa Rica?

    I'm at it again. ;) In early May I'm taking a 9-day vacation to Costa Rica. I've never been there before. Question: Should I wait and buy a hat while I'm there, or buy a nice summer-weight hat before?

    I think I've found my new primary source for hats! I spoke with Ernest DelMonico who was very helpful and informative. He told me that Long Oval just isn't being made anymore, but that DelMonico does their own blocking, and to just specify that on the order form. I decided to give them a try...

    This or That

    Camaro (my mom had a '67, but that's not why). Firebird always struck me as Pontiac's Camaro knock-off. Brooks or Saucony (runners will understand)?

    Work is slow today. Idle time generally means a drain on my wallet. So... Can anyone recommend a summer hat, fedora style, that isn't made of straw?

    Looks like that's the ticket. There's no place on their site that gives the option to contact them otherwise.

    I tried searching for a number of variations in terms, and found some partially useful information, but not my answer. What I found was that Del Monico Hatter is a known vendor, and -- I guess -- somewhat reliable. What interested me, and why I'm asking, is that on their site, they say if you...

    This is what you (fine) folks have done to me.

    This or That

    I recently bought a wireless guitar system. So, I guess I have to ask: wired or wireless?

    Hey the 1990s called and want their argument back! :eek: Mac.
