    It's a longshot, but.....

    OK, let the jonesing begin!

    I just ordered a SWK Irish National Standard and some green flashes from Jerry. Let's see if his famous shipping can get this order to the west coast before the Ben Lomond games. That means it would have to get here by friday at the latest.

    Hey Jerry! Are you listening??

    Yeah, I know it's a longshot, but the thought is there.

    I think I will go sit in the corner quietly while the jonesing sinks in.....

    Jerry is good, but he does still have to rely on the Postal Service.

    Ray, Make sure to swing by the Clan MacNaghten tent to meet up with some of us Bay Area kilties.

    See you there!

    Cheers

    I will be there barring a trip to Idaho for a funeral. Just found out about this on Wednesday. Still don't know when the services are.

    I am still optimistic about being there. BTW, I hope the rain doesn't wreak havoc upon our gathering!

    They just don't tell you WHAT priority. I suspect low.

    Let the jonesing....end!!

    OK, kilted rabble-

    I ordered the kilt and flashes AFTER what should have been business hours (after 6:00 pm Pacific time) and guess what was waiting when I got home today??

    It fits just like the Black Watch Standard but it's about 1/2" shorter.....better for me!

    Once again, Jerry has shown that he can get the shipping done! They printed the invoice about 9:00 am Wednesday. The guy's got the knack for shipping.

    Will take some pics tomorrow at the games in Ben Lomond, CA

    Wow, that was quick. I've seen them arrive on Monday when ordered on Thursday of Friday. You'll love it. In fact I may put mine on tonight for a night at the Legion. O'Neille

    I'm not surprised a bit about the shipping.

    My Heavyweight Saffron seems about a half inch shorter than my standard Nightstalker, but that is also in my benefit as well!
