Oh yeah, Tarbuster it is. Always look for his posts. Brings back memories and inspires me to create more.
(Gordo, Jello & Largo too, always read up when they post.)
I'm glad someone finally asked about the hat. What about the boots re-soled with climbing rubber? 'member that?

According to the Stetson website linked above, making hats was dirtbag work:
Stetson History
In 1865, with $100, John B. Stetson rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and the John B. Stetson Hat Company was born. A year later the "Hat of the West" or the now famous "Boss of the Plains" hat was born and the name Stetson was on its way to becoming the mark of quality, durability, innovation and beauty.
John B. Stetson experienced trying times in his life but after it all he relied on the one thing he did exceptionally well, making hats. He was trained by his father, a master hatter, and applied his skills and knowledge to a trade that, at the time was not held in high regard.
A hatter was seen as unreliable, lazy, or aloof, only looking to make his money and go have fun. John B. Stetson changed all that and built one of America's most well-known and successful businesses. The longevity and history of the John B. Stetson Company is based on innovation and quality! John B. Stetson led the hat industry his entire career by designing new hat styles for fashion and function. When it came to quality it was his creed and for the past 130 years it has so stamped the product that the name and the word are synonymous.
Today the Stetson hat factory in Garland, Texas is one of the largest in the country and produces a line of hats in hundreds of different styles and colors. In spite of this size, however, classic styling and premium quality remain as the driving forces behind each and every hat. As a result, Stetson hats are the most well known hats in the world. Wherever and whenever hats are discussed Stetson will be mentioned.
Stetson is the standard in hats, the essence of the spirit of the West and an icon of everyday American lifestyle. Because of its authentic American heritage, Stetson remains as a part of history and, for the same reason will continue into the future.
Stetson, it's not just a hat, it's the hat.

Props absolutely earned by Nature as well, for his huge efforts bringing people together. I hope to catch a Sushifest myself next year.

In terms of stimulating others of us to post remarkable material
and to have fun doing it, Tarbuster seems to operate at a higher
level than the rest of us.
I have been improved and stabilized (yes) by some of the writings
of jstan and rgold, Jello, DR and DMT.
As Jaybro has pointed out, some unprecedented circling of wagons
has occurred in the last year or so, ultimately attributable to
this Forum.
The somewhat combined energies of eeyonkeee, bvb and Tarbuster
led to the fabulous Woodson Shindig, which led inevitably to the
Vedauwoo Boogaloos.
Nature's establishment of the SushiFest cannot be overlooked.
But when I see a thread Started by Tarbuster, I know someone is
going to pour some beauty into it.

Unmistakable ability everywhere you look. How often do you run into that? The bar never stops getting higher.
