    Smile final countdown - yaaaaay

    Just heard from Eric at USA Kilts. My new Stewart, old sett - modern is being shipped out tonight. Notice from UPS gives a delivery date of the 12th. This is my first 8 yarder and I am curious to see and feel the difference between this and my 5 yd. wool Stewart Hunting - ancient. The sett is very different from most of the other Stewart tartans.
    Also should be getting some new hose and flashes from Ronin at the Tartan Museum tomorrow. Nothing like xmas in July.
    Now I need to look for a new kilt pin for the new kilt. It never ends, but we all know that already.

    Congratulations on the shipped kilt. Please share photos of it after it arrives. And definitely share your comparisons between the five yard and the eight.

    Well, considering your topic name, I think you should get a rocket pin....between a symbol for Venus and Earth....

    (Do dodo do doooooo.... gotta love that synth line...)

    But, congrats on the new kit. You know the rules.

    Sit back, take a deep breath... have a beer to calm your nerves and whatever you do.... DONT sit at the window waiting for the UPS truck...

    Enjoy and photos must follow

    I'm going to have to disagree with Paul. I think you SHOULD sit at the window waiting for the UPS truck...

    Definitely need photos, though. Congrats on your first 8 yarder!

    Problem is the neighbors might talk more than normal seeing a face always in the window. and it is like a pot of water.. A watched UPS truck always drives by.

    I can vouch for this! ANYTIME I am waiting for a package, I run to the door like a kid everytime a large sounding truck drives by. Any they just keep on going...
