Fascinating reading all of this. Thank you neloon (and everyone) for your voiced opinions. I get it now, "... I find it impossible to understand" End of story.

A Scotsman visits Canada for the first time. When he sees a strange looking animal pass by, he asks a local, "What was that?" The local guy tells him that it was a moose. The Scot's jaw drops to...

Happy belated birthday Glen. Always a pleasure to read your posts. ".... and many more..... " (birthdays)

What do you call a fish with two knees?

a two-knee (tuna) fish!

A "thrifty" Black Watch was my first-ever kilt purchase. Does it have much swing? No. I still wear it around the house and close-to-home for very casual wear. Don't forget a belt,...

First, let me say WELL DONE Gronthos! My son and I were watching the race from the stands that afternoon! Always one of our favorite events to see.

Met up with Rick at the clan tents. Met him there last year also, but forgot to take a picture. The Portland Games feel like they're getting a wee bit smaller (fewer vendors, people) each...

Planning to be there myself, purely as a spectator. Hope to have a son and maybe a brother in tow! Forecasting 88 degrees and a few SHOWERS.
I was there last year but didn't take any...

Alan,
I appreciate your original post. What I see in the pictures there are non-tartan/tweed kilts. I can see how the ones you picture there as contemporary could be called that.
So, it...

Looks sharp indeed. Let us know how your students liked it! (do you get to kilt up for school/work often?).

Happy belated birthday, from just south of you in Salem. Glad to hear you had a good day!

Wish I had time to make an evening-out in Portland mid-week, but alas, duty/work calls early in the morning.
Enjoy the gathering!

Welcome back.

Planning to attend Saturday, the 19th, to be a spectator. Should be five of us from Salem: wife, two sons and a dau-in-law. Hoping to meet some X-Markers.
Easy to find Victoria and Capt Mac...

Thank you for sharing your wonderful, fun day with us in pictures! Looked like a hoot!

Bravo, Alan! Life is good. Thanks for sharing YOUR enjoyment of it.

I'm an early to bed, early to rise person during the work week. Saw the pictures up of the evening...... good show.

Have a great evening!

Beautiful scenery there Matty! The leggings look like a good idea, in case you fall. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see your holiday/family pictures Robert. I was recently wondering where you'd gotten off to, hadn't seen a post of yours in quite awhile. Thanks for sharing!

I'll have to catch the next weekend one. Looking forward to any pics taken for the 26th meet up.

Bob/Ratspike:
Saturday would probably work best for me. Thanks.

Bob/Ratspike,
I like Hawk's idea of the Stillhouse in Oregon City with a two week notice. Takes about an hour to get there from Salem. I will try to make an outing if I can. Sounds like fun....

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
