What's up? From PA
What can I say...a lot I guess, I'm long-winded...lol.
Family heritage is Scot, English and German. Clan name is Young and there's no surviving representation of the original Tartans. Our Family had 2 new Tartans created..."Modern Young" and "Weathered Young"...my favorite of the two is the "Modern"...see why:
Modern:
Weathered:
Husband and father of 3 daughters between 18 and 8 years old, I work for the Dept of Corrections as an Officer, SRT member and intelligence gatherer for our Security Threats Group (gangs) Division.
I hunt, camp, UL backpack, shoot IDPA and play Paintball (since 1986). I also play the Pipes and competed EUSPBA Grade II (retired) with my set of pre-1900 Lawrie bagpipes.
Playing paintball, I used to do the tourney thing but got tired of the BS and traded my Jersey and pants in for a Black Watch Kilt and concentrate on MilSim/Scenario now. I used to use BlackWatch but at $200/Kilt (for the cheaper models), I traded them in for my $95 digital AmeriKilt.com MARPAT Kilt...
My home town is host to an Annual Celtic Classic, me at the centerpiece:
Anyway...glad to be here.
And Shephards we shall be for thee my Lord for thee; Power hath descended forth from thy hands; That our feet may swiftly carry out thy commands; So we shall flow a river forth to thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri, et fili, et spiritus sancti.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
