| That is understandable, I mean you live about 2 or 3 miles from Hell, so the heat down there is intense. It's what you are used to. If we were in 100 degree weather and at night it dropped 25 or 30 degrees, we would be a little chilled, and would need a blanky. LMAO | |

| When it hits 100 during the day in summer, it stays in the low to mid 80's at night. There is no cooling down until after the end of August! September this year was even warmer than usual! I can tell you for sure you would have a hard time three to four months of the year in the summer months! It is very hot and very humid, almost to the point of unbearable!! But, the winter and cold months would be a piece of cake! You would think you were in the tropics!!! LMAO! | |

| I imagine that in a few years you get used to it. No big deal. It would be harder getting used to cowboy boots and hats. LMAO | |

| Naw! That's like slipping into the favorite pair of slippers! The hat is nmore comfortable than any baseball cap you ever wore. Just have to go to the hat shop and have it fitted and formed correctly and you are good to go!!! Piece of cake!! LMAO! | |

| A ball cap is nice and floppy like natural boobies. Isn't a cowboy hat kind of hard in the head contact area like a set of enhanced boobies? LMAO GGG | |

| Only if you buy a reject or a cheap one! I picked up a new one for the local fair this year because it had been a few years since i bought a new hat and it set me back about $150. Got a plastic container made to carry and keep it in to protect it and that thing was about $60 but it keeps it new and nice looking. The hat was 1/2 price on sale so you can buy a nice one (straw not felt) for $150 to $250. They are very comfortable, cool to wear and block the sun form your face and neck. Nice to wear in the summer time! NOw, my winter felt hats are a horse of another color! I have a platinum 24X Stetson that I bought when I was with the SO back about 25 years ago and it was $400 then!! Now they are $600 to $1K!!! They clean very well and they wear very warm when it is cold. They also look nice and are acceptable wear anywhere in the state! It is a true dress hat. if you buy a cheap one and it will not form fit, they are not comfortable at all. It is like a new pair of dress shoes! Cheap ones are just not comfortable and don't' ever last any time at all! Nice ones are very comfortable and look very nice! | |

| I didn't know that. They are expensive, for me, I would wide up ruining it. I'm a dirt magnet cant keep clean for nothing. GGG In the winter I wear a navy watch cap. I pull it down over my ears, the wind is brutal here with the wind coming off of the bay. It cuts like razor blades. | |

| That's for damn sure at $ 500 to $1K I couldn't afford to take it out of the box. I remember when I was real young I would climb in the car with my father and grandfather, we would travel about 12 miles north to a hat store where my grandfather would have his hat cleaned by steam I beleive then blocked. I remember that like it was yesterday. They had many hats in there. Felt and some kind of hair, and straw. It was in business since the mid 1800's. My father bought a couple from there also. Me I never bothered, ball caps were fine. | |

| If they did perform those services for the hats in the store, they were a good hat store! That is what the nicer places do. They actually take the pieces off the hats and immerse the felt or hair parts in a cleaning solution nw. It takes the hat a couple of days to dry out adn for them to reassemble them. that is a complete cleaning. To steam the hat and block it usually takes an experienced person ten to twenty minutes adn they look good for many more times when worn. | |

| That's when America was America. I said it before, but it's true. Not many places left that has a clue to do things like that any more. that goes for metal working, not machine shop stuff but wrought iron working, woodworking, etc. even sharpening a knife, except may be with one of those kitchen sjarpening things. I have freinds that if a knife is dull they will attempt to sharpen with a piece of sandpaper or a slate sidewalk, give up, and go out buy a new one. either they are lazy or just ingnorant to the fact. | |

| I have a 12" whetstone sharpener w/ a leather stropping wheel I picked up for my wood chisels and plain blades and I have a drawer full of assorted stones. My knives are all razor sharp so are my chizels and plain blades. My axes are all stone sharpened annd they too are razor sharp. I enjoy the task. I also use a steel on my kitchen knives. Serving an apprenticeship for meat cutter made me appreciate a sharp edge. | |

| And that is exactly what it takes to have a sharp lade. If you try to vut cornersm you wear out the blade and also do not have as sharp a blade either! | |
