Great I'll haveta check ours and see if they have one, otherwise haveta order online.

If you do order online, I found this one. It's only 10 bucks, 100 percent cotton (poly blends can make your head sweat), and this has a chin strap for windy days. The only consumer comments about fit are that it runs a bit large, which I would rather have than too tight.

Hey I like that one

It says to hand wash, but I never believe stuff like that. Hand wash 100 percent cotton? Give me a break.

I have half a dozen pure cotton bucket hats in various colors, including one that lives in my tote and one that lives in my luggage. Throw them in the laundry, flatten them immediately when they come out of the dryer. Easy, comfy.

Even if it shrinks a little bit, get it soaking wet and give it a good pull in all directions, or soak it and hang it sideways, and the brim seam will stretch itself under the weight of the water.

I gave one to my boss at the old brick & mortar when she got a bad sunburn on her nose. She loved it.

May be an image of ‎3 people and ‎text that says '‎إا Jackie Chan's mom was an opium dealer and his dad was a spy, sent to track her. They fell in love instead. They later escaped to Hong Kong and Jackie only found out while filming his documentary in 2003.‎'‎‎

New computer is up in Windows at least. Freaking Windows setup is a royal pain in the arse. It takes forever. I'll get Arch Linux up tomorrow as it's too late to install the additional drive and get it loaded. However that should only take a little bit. See ya in the AM back on Linux where I belong.

I'd love to see "show & tell" in the Latest Purchase thread when you're all done and in business.

Today we convene to celebrate the birthday of our dear friend and playmate with fun, food and music. @gopher_byrd, you are summoned by @2WhiteWolves, @SnapDragon NY, @Jimi, our new friend @gloopdegurp, Bliss and the Ninjas, to your birthday party.

What better party venue can there be for a California gopher than a beautiful seaside golf course. Whoa Goph, you can have a ball digging this up. We leased the whole thing for the day.

On the table is a collection of award winning California wines:

Surprise! This song comes in around 25 versions with various names, none with the name Gopher or Goph obviously, so this is as close as we could come. If you read the name on the ball backwards, maybe it will make more sense?



Our music game family birthday song:


A party needs fireworks:


Food, drink and ice are in the picnic gazebo near the pro shop.

Unseen is another gazebo on the grounds, the bandstand, where bands will play all day, kind of like Lilith Fair only better.

For the "both and" guy, we have more than just a cake. You have options, baby, lots of them, a vanilla buttercream cake (flavorful vape candles included), Wolfie's freshly baked s'mores casserole, plus some patriotic cake pops and jello shots to recognize your civic engagement and service to your community.

For lunch and snacks we have DIY steak sandwiches of fresh sourdough bread, sliced New York strip, crisp toppings, all as you prefer. Also provided is rich basil pesto for those who want vegan sandwiches using the veggies. On the side are oven steak fries and grilled corn. We have crispy shrimp tacos with freshly made guacamole. Or the guacamole and salsa can go on your sandwich. The only food rule today is what? "Both and".

Now that we're all here, please snack and sip freely while viewing cards from your friends, next post.

Did you even know there was an onion ninja? He's been hanging around here since you posted your Italian reds. Jimi helped him make you a card.
