What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Frunobulax]

Happy Friday, fellow Loungers! It is a great day to be alive and living in Funkytown.

Today is a two-fold good day. After being in my new job for a month, the US of A has finally given me the blessing of a security clearance. This means I can finally report to duty and start doing some real work. But first, of course, I must take a number and spend this morning waiting to be called for processing so I can receive my ID badge. So I sit in the Big USAF waiting room watching the number board (and there's not even a pastrami sandwich when they call my number).

The Frunoliner keeps me company as I wait.

Brim up for Bob.

It is also a sacred Holy Day for my people. Yes, it's National Donut Day.

Still Life With Donut and Frunoliner.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I love it. When you must hurry up and wait, why not celebrate with hat glorious circumference of grease and dough. The hat gives you that distinct look that you know what you are doing as you wait with donut in your hand.

I have to honor to capture the oral history of a member of the Oregon State class of 1945 today. This lady ended up as the editor of the school newspaper. Women on campus were actually a majority during WWII, taking many positions traditionally held by male students. This should be epic!! The Mossant Diplomatique is a perfect choice as it was made during her era. A tribute to her time at college.

Spiffy hat and I love that shirt. Hot weather has arrived there?

Michael

Thanks Michael. Not hot, quite comfy at about 75 for the high and breezy. Kind of a tweener for straw, but I was anxious to break them out!

A nice cool morning, but I'm dressing for the day which will top out around 90. American Hat Co Para Panama for piddling around in the yard,

The Mossant looks great Red. The oral history sounds interesting too.

Sounds nice. 85 for a high here I see now and around 90 for the next couple of days after today.

Thanks Red. Yes, lots of shade under this one. I'm going with the flyweight silk shirt and linen pants today. Time to get serious about finding all of my summer clothes.

Scala "Panama" again. Was going to go with the stingy Dobbs Milan, but needed more brim today.

This Balmoral is pretty stiff and is it fits like, dare I say, a glove...

Keeps mister sun from doing bad things to my ears and neck.

Gills are good!

And to catch up on your question of yesterday, @Redfokker , the light sage color strikes me as a bit toward an earthy green. Yet, to be honest I might prefer it to be even more so, but when paired with the right colors, it appears as a suitably subtle tone.

I must say, though, for whatever reason, that light sage lid is among the most commented-on of my collection.

I agree with Charlie-always get a comment on my sage green hat. It is a cool color. It pairs much easier than you would sumize. My grandmother had a sewing room painted in the same color. It was room that was always cool on a hot summer day. Lots of summer projects and books were read in that big room.

Thanks, Ant. It may be the oldest piece of felt I own. Super thin and responsive.

I can literally see in the photos how responsive it is

Sorry, Eric, but some memories are simply overpowering, and after three kids, and now grand ones, who knows how many times I have read that story. Thank you!!

Chores this morning meant replacing some fence, emptying the fire-pit and tilling the garden. A hardware store straw hat was just the ticket!

This straw hat has been dunked in the lake, had a bucket of water poured on top of my head while wearing and numerous times been knocked to the dirt. Great hat for hard efforts.

It really needs some steam and shaping. I rarely get it re-worked as it gets hard wear and the brim inevitably drops. Perhaps the hat is telling me this is the shape it needs to be in.

Satisfied with my efforts this morning, Eric -
