Welp, my time with the hat has come to an end. I'll be sending it out this week to the next recipient.
The hat was sent to me by Blober in hopes that I would get a pic of me wearing it, holding a giant steelhead that I'd catch on one of my many fly fishing outings. I was having my best winter steelhead season ever, then once I got the hat, I didn't catch a god damned thing when I took it out. I think that the smell of the hat was too much for my finny friends. I did my best to still get some good shots with it though. But I feel I failed my mission.
The hat took 3 trips to Forks. Of course I couldn't pass up this photo opportunity
Just me wearing a dragon head, wearing the asshat, hanging around camp. No big deal

The Washington Cask Beer Festival:
Black Raven not only dominated the awards of the fest... but their beer ran out about 1/4 of the way through the fest.

HOT NUTS!

The Asshat + Condom = win
