My first Penman! Dec 28, 2011 20:18:42 GMT -5

Well after patiently waiting for my Raiders to arrive, I got my email from John that my hat would ship on 12/12/11. :-*

I was ecstatic. Then my wife dropped a major bomb on me that I was not allowed to open it, she planned to wrap it for Christmas! >:(

I was not happy to say the least, but I was helpless since I wasn't at home when it arrived.

I thought I could sneak into the box if she hadn't wrapped it before I got home..

but no such luck. :-X

I have to admit, I am glad she made me wait, even though the wrapped present seemed to mock me everytime I looked at it ;D This was the first Christmas since I was a little kid that I have been this excited to see what was waiting for me under the tree! Even though I knew it was my hat, there was still a sense of mystery surrounding it. I think this must be how Indy felt each time he was about to discover some ancient relic. So without further ado, here are the pics of what happened next.....

It's a great looking lid in and of itself but, more importantly, it looks great on you! Congrats!

I had ordered a penman that should of arrived around this time. But due to some family mishaps I had to cancel the order. I want to place an order but the wait is alot longer than before.

It really wasn't hard waiting until it showed up and got put under the tree, then it became torture! I had a great telephone conversation with John when I ordered mine too. He really took the time to make sure I ordered the perfect hat. Thanks again John, I can't wait to order from you again soon!
