Economic incentive? You bet!

Okay...over the weekend I got the okay from the Chief Financial Officer to do whatever I want with that lovely economic stimulus money that those nice people in Washington are going to send me.

So even though I haven't got the check yet, I figured that I could float it on the credit card until the generous grant arrives and since there's a time sensitive element to the whole thing...I went ahead and ordered the much lusted after eight yard Robertson Hunting Muted earlier today. The kilt maker will be at the Illinois Saint Andrew's Highland Games in mid-June, so I figured that I can pick it up there if everything goes right.

Jonesing? Yer darn tootin'!

Isn't it wonderful when your government supports your efforts to explore your cultural heritage?

Your so lucky my financial officer said ours goes for bills and vacation.

The govt should make a regular program out of it.

Unfortunately, mine has to go to pay off where I already helped stimulate the economy.

Wow,

I look forward to seeing it. I am eagerly awaiting my Robertson Hunting Ancient, done by our own Chattancat. What mill weaves the Hunting Muted? I would love to see the colors.

That's awesome! I have just discovered a connection with the Clan Robertson and am eager to see the kilt!
Congratulations!

Strathmore does the 13 oz Robertson Hunting Muted and that's the one I wanted.

Thank heavens for good ol' Robert Robertson Latta (1811-1887) and his dear mum Jenette (1775-1839) for giving me at least a tenuous tie the the Robertsons and that remarkably nice tartan.

It'll be a wait, though...the ISAS Games aren't until June 20.

I don't want to rain on your parade for a moment AA, but don't they start sending that money out from May - July based on SSN? Hope you get yours in time!

It dosent make sence to me. I have to pay five thousand and change. But they will send me back fifteen hundred. I think they are getting the up side of the deal.
