Ta Da - (more) Weber in Greece

just a quick hello to everyone. 
 
Not only did I finally figure out the timer function on my camera (Look Ma, 2 hands); I also got myself a hat.  Interesting (and short) story there.
 
So I looked all over the market for a hat I liked.  I'm very picky, even when on vacation.  Finally, I saw one I liked, I payed my 8 Euros (a little steeper than the 6 I was willing to pay), and I got my hat and put it on.
 
Later that afternoon I realized that it had rips intentionally made in the top to show a red/black skull and cross bones lurking beneath the fabric.  Now I just think that's trying so hard to be cool that it's lame, so I sewed most of the gaps shut (one was too large).  It also has crossed clubs on the front- I'm working on finding a better patch to replace that.
 
So anyway, the hat is now keeping my face in shade, and my evenings occupied with sewing/improvement projects.  Next step (while I look for a patch) is to burn a hole for a small carabeaner so I can belt-clip when indoors.
 
I love small projects, hope you enjoy the snapshot.
