    I'm reminded of a song by Cheap Trick "Everything works if you let it" My wife and I have been together going on 20 years. Some of it living in sin some of it with paper.

    In Praise of FL Lurkers

    I was a lurker before joining and mostly a lurker now. My lack of Hi-tech savvy also regulates that I mostly remain a lurker. Also I was taught that I would learn more by keeping my eyes and ears open and my mouth shut. So if no one minds I'll just lurk and learn from y'all.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Red Wings are still made in Red Wing MN. US. Both the tannery and the factory are there. The factory is only about a block from where it started over 100 years ago. I've been wearing them for over 30 years. I've a pair on as I type. Mine are Pecos 2230.

    I was raised on bases up and down the east coast of the U.S. For the last couple of decades I've called Port Salerno Fla. home. If your old enough to remember the TV show Gentle Ben (67-69) you saw my local watering hole, it's still there, And so am I.

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    How did you find the lounge?

    Tripped over the site a couple times while searching for the perfect yet elusive hat. Finally just gave up and just fell in. Glad I did.

    The Great Beer Thread

    For my everyday beer I keep a keg of Pabst on tap, it's refreashing after working out in the sun or just sitting on the back deck. Yes you'll find craft, and dark beers in the reffer when I want a different taste, but the PBR is never far away. Since Anheuser-Bush sold out to Inbev (Belguim)...
