Well the Craftsman 88775 performed flawlessly today.Blew a flume of white 30 -40 feet high.Most of it though , gets shot to the side.What a winter wonderland.I could of used drift bars, but  the big tires allow you to tip it up to get a first pass on the deep stuff.Second pass can be done rather quickly.I had it in third and sometimes fourth.They should have kept this one in the lineup.Too bad Murray is going under.Good Mfr. Made in the USA.That Briggs OHV  7.75 has a nice sound to it. The motor is breaking in good.Makes tossin snow a joy.Definately earned itself an oil change.

That looks like the kind of hat the horse racers where. Am I right or wrong?

Here's the history.I am hooked.Its the best hat I've ever owned.Comfort ,warmth,quality and made in USA.Some call it a Railroad cap,because Kromer was an Engineer.

They are popular up in the UP.(upper peninsula) of Michigan,where they are made.Everyone should have one.

Cool, I will buy one of those soon. You can't be too warm

By the way, did you relise that the tital you gave your thread is also a movie?

Yes.

I think Tim's neighbor Wilson wore one of those on Home Improvent.  I maybe wrong.

Isn't that the same hat that the judge tried on in the pro shop in the movie Caddyshack?  You know, the one where Rodney Dangerfield says "You oughta get a free bowl of soup with this hat" but then tells the judge "Oh, but it looks good on you." :)
