Furry hat for a little snow shoveling on what is probably the coldest morning of the winter so far.

Thank you, you're a good man but your moniker tipped me off in advance. Who doesn't like the Zappa crowd? I'll tell you a secret: in the film Baby Snakes, you see that kid handing Frank "the Tower Of Power" at the start of the show?
Guess who that was as a kid back in High School?
"Hey, Frank!"

She works in a hospital so at least she didn't have far to go and she has lots of friends to come visit her. Off to it.

That's pretty cool; I'll have to go back and watch my Baby Snakes DVD - I haven't watched it in some time.

I have had very few "Brushes With Greatness," and none were too memorable.

Biskup

Nice, Perry. I keep forgetting I have a Biskup buried in the pile somewhere. I'll have to hunt it up.

We have something other than hats in common today. My wife has been in this whole week. Hopefully gallbladder will finally come out tomorrow.

I hope your wife enjoys her surprise and recovers nicely

Warm thoughts from the FL to her, as well.

Thanks Tim.

That's a great 3X. Not what I usually think of, for sure.

Wow, Alan. Perfection in a hat, there.

Love that Kasmir finish and mid ribbon.

Super job on the ribbon, Randy. Really looks good.

Made a round of the thrift stores today and found a few things I wanted to photograph. So I threw on this Panizza Sportsman to keep the rapidly accumulating snow off of my head.

Picked up this silk patch pocket jacket, the Brooks Brothers lambswool sweater vest and the new with tags Big Yank cords that date from the early 80s on the outing.

Have a good evening,
Michael

Man, sounds like a very productive outing Michael. Great finds.

I'm not surprised, Rick. It's very gushable.
You help it gush, too

Italian Cervo Gran Marca. It appears that this one was originally sold in Germany.
Oh BTW... While out doing my photo shoot for this post, a young couple saw me and proceeded to gush over my hat!

 

[Frunobulax]

Thanks Jim

Well, it's supposed to get down to 13F tonight. I may need to ask for some back later, LOL.

 

[Steve1857]

My new $20 ebay find.
Nice catch, Tom.
What happened to the Steve look?

The Ridgewood by Mallory 7 1/2 long oval. In much better condition than expected. Felt unmunched and sweat perfect. View attachment 212724 View attachment 212725 View attachment 212726

Mallory Family...... Very cool ! She looks great in that one.

Any idea of the age on the Ridgewood ? I haven't seen one before.

 

[Steve1857]

That Panizza definitely deserves a place in the sun, John.

Hey folks!
This Panizza, acquired in a trade with our Dutch connection, sees sun on a pleasant afternoon.

Beautiful Hat John, the Dutch Connection comes through again !

 

[Steve1857]

That should cheer her up, Steve. Hope she makes a speedy recovery.

My pretty little wife is in the hospital so I'm going to pay her a surprise visit this morning and pop this number open under her nose. She doesn't know that I have a collapsible top hat. Well, two, actually, they seem to reproduce secretly at night when nobody is looking.

I wonder if the new Space Force branch takes nearly old folks...

I hear they definitely will need old folks on board - Soylent Green !!!

Best wishes for a speedy post op recovery to your misses, Joe

Ha ha, that will be a fun visit. Hope everything is OK with the Wife.

She nearly died at work (dehydration led to spiking blood levels, plummeting blood pressure, kidneys started failing) but she bounced right back after IVs and antibiotics.
This woman has about everything wrong with her thanks to Hodgkin's Disease 35 years ago and the treatment back then was to sample every organ, remove the spleen as it won't stop bleeding once you puncture it, irradiate everything else and sew you back together.

For the top hat, her reaction was, "You should probably take that off" while the knock out nurse who came in said, "Cool hat! Is that a new one?"

I kept the hat on.

 

[Steve1857]

Okay, so I had the flag wrong. My heart’s right. I fixed it, and now we’re both right.
For the last three years I’ve felt like showing my American patriotism.
If the military would have me, I might would feel enough pride in our great country to serve again.

Maybe we could be like these guys, Randall

Good luck to your wife too Joe. Keep us updated.

Good morning from Minnesota. The air temp is -12'f (-24'c) right now. My dog walk was swift and brief. Brrrr.... No hat, but a Filson Mackinaw cap was up to the task of keeping me toasty. The ear flaps and heavy wool make this cap perfect this cold morning.

Best, Eric -

-12....... OUCH !!
