    Yippee!

    Just got FedEx tracking notification that my new Balmoral is on the way.

    Geez, this stuff is addicting!

    Checked FedEx tracking... should be waiting for me when I get off work!

    Wow... didn't take long for the addiction to settle in, did it?

    A word of warning - you're on a slippery slope my friend and headed to the hard stuff. Sure, it starts innocent enough - a balmoral here, a kilt pin there but the next thing you know you're mainlining KILTS!!!!!!! Beware the addiction!!!!!!

    So I guess the rubber tubing cinched around my upper arm, and hanging on dark streecorners, patting my inner arm nervously... asking passerby's "ya' got any celtic, man?"... is a sign?

    It's here!

    My balmoral arrived, as expected.
    Looks decently constructed, fits my shaved (aerodynamic) head perfectly.
    I'm pleased.


    ...and so the addiction begins...
