    Talking ordered the long-awaited Weathered McKenzie



    Today I trudged through icky weather to the post office where I mailed a money order to SWK. I had saved the cost since 11/15. I've wanted this kilt for a year now. I had a pasta sauce jar nearly full. $55 in coin alone!
    I also bought the brown economy sporran.
    Maybe everything will be here by Xmas and I'll get two kilts!

    Congratulations!
    Unless Jerry at SWK or the USPS is snowed-in, I'll bet that you have it by Christmas.

    I ordered a sash on Saturday. It wasn't here Monday. I'm baffled... Well, as long as it gets here by Saturday for me to use as a scarf (I have a big neck...) I'll be happy. It's supposed to get sub zero again.

    We do have a nasty storm coming tomorrow afternoon. Ice storm warning & 5-12" of snow. I love snow!
    Several fronts before Xmas too.

    Gees, you guys, that's what I need: a tartan scarf. I could wear it in December and January like I used to do in highschool!
