I have been watching this thistle grow in the ditch in front of my home for the last month. Now at over 5 feet the blooms are starting to pop.

We would gladly welcome you in the Old Dominion and of course Virginia is for Lovers.

Today is also National Walk on Stilts Day. So please celebrate carefully!:lol:

Last night we had a couple (DryFly and his beautiful bride) over for a night of cards, food and fellowship. As the night progressed I decided it was time to pull out the Scotch bar. I did not realize...

Father's Day for me was a bottle of Ardbeg 10. I really love the Islay. I also received an Virginia ABC gift card which I may use for something a little lighter.

Tom,
You are correct, never a disappointment from Rocky and the gang. I now have two casual, two 5-yard and a custom weave tank, all are excellent.

I arrived home last night and found a package in the mailbox. It was my new kilt. I am used to getting a shipment email but had not seen one. Ended up in junk for some reason, I have done enough...

I just found this post. I send out a Happy Birthday to all my Kilted May brothers and sisters. My day is May 2nd. I received a bottle of Dalmore 12 and bottle of Talisker Storm, so a very good day...

Sorry I missed it. Looks like a good time was had by all.

From what I see in the color and stripe patterns in this piece it is either asymmetrical or a large sett. Green on the left with no black border stripe and blue on the right with a black border...

This gave me a good chuckle, interesting camo pattern but a no go for me.

Tonight while waiting for a carry-out order from our local Thai restaurant I walked next door to the beverage store and picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. A very smooth dram.

The flashes are actually the matching garter ties from a set of House of Cheviot Sandringham hose in their Country Collection.
Matt Newsome had a sale on these a while ago and I couldn't pass up the...

My wife and I are heading to Pittsburgh this Friday for a family visit. We decided to take check out this event. I will also get a chance to see my old high school buddy and best man, haven't seen...

I have been a very interested lurker of this thread but this latest revision has really hit the mark with me. I may have to sell a few kilts to get in on this. Well done!!!

Listen to the pros. I have hemmed a couple of kilts which were worked great. One of those kilts I recently sent to Bonnie for a top down rebuild because of other fit issues. Bonnie did a wonderful...

NO!!!

I have four fine kilts from Rocky and company. Well worth the wait.

No, this was privately owned and had all the internal components. I am just shorter with more "junk in the trunk".

My kids cooked dinner tonight, coconut shrimp w/ coconut pineapple dipping sauce and mango curry chicken over basmati rice. yum.
Then the gifts. My wife and the furry kid gave me the Aberlour 12yr...

I received my Isle Of Skye rebuild yesterday. :D A big thank you and virtual hugs to wonderful kilt maker. Bonnie is an artist.
While I have enjoyed wearing this kilt, it never felt right. I had...

Bonnie let me know that she finished the rebuild and has dropped it in the mail. I should receive my "New" kilt on Thursday. :D
Thanks Bonnie, I can't wait wear it!

There is a big difference between Stillwater's Economy (acrylic) and their Wool Economy which has a liner, buckles and straps. While the Economy is good for around the house that is the only place I...
