    I'm SOOOOO mad! :-)

    OK -- well only kinda...


    Seems that Rocky @ USA uses the same time warping shipping flux capacitor that Stillwater does... I got my Kilt (Co Roscommon) on Wednesday after hearing from him on Monday that it was ready to go. WOW!

    First.. the good (REALLY good).. This workmanship in AMAZING. (no pics yet.. sorry that's part of the bad) .. The picture he put up doesn't do this material justice. The belts, the stitching, the pleating .. ALL top notch. Granted this is my first REAL kilt (as in made to size) so I don't have much to compare it to. I got a chance to try it on last night finally... and I can't believe I didn't screw up the measurements! LOL

    Now... the bad... Today was supposed to be the Scottish Games at Westbury Gardens. It's been raining all night, and the grounds will surely be saturated. A picnic will not be quite as fun.. but it doesn't matter as I was called into work. If anyone on here lives in Breezy Pt (Far Rockaway Queens) ... you'll have your natural gas restored soon!

    I wish... I was here yesterday for 16 some odd hours and then back again today at 6am for whatever.

    I was REALLY impressed with the kilt and the flashes. Can't wait to put it all together...

    Its good to at least have a wonderful kilt from a fine kiltmaker such as Rocky. If that County Cork was a bit bigger, I would have jumped on it, since that is where my grandfather is from.. But then... I have to remind myself... One kilt at a time... I really want to keep the number of kilts down.. Like two... But that dang Matt Newsome and his tweed kilt, and the washing the chicken thread... Makes me want to add another to the list....lol
