Attention TV: Your hat's in the mail!

The Bonneville helmet is on its way to you. You should have it in a couple of days. Thanks for helping me support the HAMB.

Wear it in good health -- and keep collecting signatures!

Mike, thank you I've been talking to a lot of people for signathures.If it gets here I'll don it at the rattle can nats.Hope you can come.--TV

 

Tom -- I'm considering driving my newly acquired F-1 to the RCN. Just depends on how it performs on the road this week and if I feel it will make the trip without a lot of agony; a 55-year-old truck has potential for lots of mischief, even when it's a nice one. I'll look for the helmet!

Not to hijack this post, but where is the best place to get a "Pith Helmut". Thinking about Bonneville next year.

Thanks,

Oh yea, I kinda like the one that my mailman has but he will not sell it.

 

Chris -- Here's a link to a real-deal, lightweight military pith helmet, the one that's been used since the '30s.

And here's one for the poly helmet used by the USPS -- same traditional shape, different material.

Finally, not quite traditional but pretty interesting nonetheless.

Good hunting!

Thanks Mike. The last one was kinda neat, and handmade.
