    another bonnet to jock

    after just 6 days of jonesing, mine arrived from Redshanks today. The jockin' will begin this evening. Pictures to follow, though I must say I really like it already. I'll also say that the service and delivery time both were way beyond expectations. It was a pleasure to deal them and I'll return my business as I can afford.

    I underestimated how long it takes one of these babies to dry out. The first soaking took over 2 days to get reasonably dry, wince began a thorough beating. Second soaking then followed as per the sequence of the master and others. It finally got dry enough today for me to wear and shape, and I think it looks great. It was a very fine looking bonnet to begin with, and looks "aged" now to some degree. With luck I'll get pictures this weekend.

    Hey, you should wear it to the Greenville Games in a couple of weeks. We'll take pictures to show that you really do have a new bonnet.

    At this point, we're just taking you word!
