I jumped on board. Bought me a bucket hat.

I thought you had to be special forces or over 80 years old to wear a bucket hat?

Phew - I guess I can now cancel my amazon order.  Did not want to be out of hunting fashion.

Shouldn’t you guys be shuffling papers or having conferences or whatever office guys do ?

No, that's a Jones cap. I have one of these in orange, I think it's about 50 years old.

Says the guy that spent 95% of his working time sleeping or eating!  I will give you that the other 5% was real work!

to think if you beat yourself to the punch and fall asleep while doing all that you're only being a better multitasker.

...some co-workers in the office reach that level but it's eluded me for years.

I'm on scale-down. Hopefully retired soon to spend my time in Florida with you and Goose!

Stopped at the local Wally World for a few things on the way home last night. Always stroll through the hunting and fishing section. Saw "boonie" hats. Tried one on, found a mirror and said "f-that".

Sticking with ball caps!

Lucky we made it, he sent me a PM here, and I’m just not on here very much anymore and didn’t see it for 8 days, plus I don’t always open PMs .

Next time we can FaceTime  , I’m having lunch in Buffalo Friday if you wish .

What kind of hat is this called? I used to wear this all the time back in the day. It has flaps that drop down over ears in the winter time.

Thanks. I remember it feeling very "hunting-like"

They work as an actual bucket for bringing rocks on the bridge to throw off.
