Thanks gents, the new vet thinks he has a heart murmur (that the old vet didn't seem to notice this past summer), but the real bill is his dental work. The high end of the estimate was twice that of the low end estimate (depending on if he needs extractions). Hence not a lot of "play" money this month.
Aha, well, I wouldn't have won that bidding war anyways!

I’m calling dibs on the next one that shows up in 7 5/8 or 7 3/4!
Does this mean you will ignore the 7-1/2s?

Vet costs in the US are just as outrageous as medical and dental!!!
My son even took out insurance on his pets.
When his Husky broke a canine, I was shocked to learn how much a root canal, post, and a crown cost. It would have been waay cheaper for him to fly her here and back, even if I would have charged him for the work. It would have been fun!
I have a patient who is a Vet, and we trade favors, so he would've anesthetized her in his clinic while my endodontist performed the root canal treatment, and I would have placed a fiber post (3M makes some pretty long ones), and took the impression for the crown. I would've loved to see my lab tech's face when he looked at that model!!!

Of course. Although my wife is looking for a 7 1/2 and I can’t speak for her.

Thanks, Randy. I have too many of these, but when I find them at good prices in my size I always convince myself that I have room for one more.

Great new word there. I’m adding it to my list of epithets.

Now I understand the agony of my larger-sized brethren. Great price on this, but the measurements provided show it to be about a 6 3/4 or 6 7/8. Even with the damaged sweatband, it’s a great hat.

That is typical of my experience, a lot of bowlers you find will be smaller sizes and even the larger sizes can run about 1/2 size smaller than labelled.
Victory (I think). Been looking for one of these for some time but always got outbid in the end. Poor pictures and some issues kept the price low on this one. Now if only the French seller follows through on the deal, we're there.
Haven't got a clue what I'll do with it, but it's just so cool.

How cool. They really are quite the little engineering marvel.

I’d love to have one too. I would never use it, but it’s a great display piece.
I recently bought a Singer 66 sewing machine...I don’t sew and don’t have plans to learn, but it was beautiful and just struck me as a great piece of art and engineering.

I had one once. When I was satisfied with owning one I passed ot along to someone who could use it.
