Kilted Fridays Adventures

[tpa]

Wore my 511 TDK Khaki kilt out to a chain sandwich shop, a chain coffee shop and then to a chain grocery store. Was filling two buggies of food for food boxes to give to those in need when a gentlemen asked me did I forget something. I checked my buggy and said I didn't think so. His reply was "Wheres your pipes!"

Seems to be the only connection some people make. I was asked on FB the other day: "why are you wearing bagpipes dress?".

The company had its annual holiday party. Each year they alternate between a formal affair and a casual "theme' party. This year it was formal, or more precisely, "black tie optional".

I went with basic black, with tie and flashes to match my darling wife's dress.



Crap cell phone photo. There was a professional photographer, but I expect we won't get those pics for a couple of weeks.

And NOBODY asked me where my bagpipes were.

What a great way to enjoy the first day of the year; kilted driving the back roads of Virginny!

There were three kilted gents at the annual LG New Year Day Levèe. Maple Leaf, MacDonald (Ranald), and Calgary. Sharp
looking they were. Unfortunately I had to be uniformed. Maybe next year..

Today I did some actual "utility" in my Utilikilt at my mother's-in-law ranch.
(Posted in this thread because I wore the same thing yesterday to drive here for Kilted Friday)

I helped clear some brush, de-mud a bulldozer, gather firewood and took a hike around the property.

It's now a peaceful evening out by the fire listening to the coyotes in the distance. I should sleep well tonight.





I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the new year.

Friday started out with luncheon with committee members from our local Highland games. I wentin my newest UTKilt Blackout Jumper and boots. Evening was Hogmanay with the local Saint Andrews society. That one was tartan. It was not a formal affair so I opted for the sporty look by wearing it with boots and "golf" shirt.

Saturday was a shopping day in a Black UT kilt with Boots. Sunday is proving to be a Brown UT kilt day as I get some work done at home after Church.

Kilt Friday!

Today is my Royal Stewart.

I have worked at home for several years, but I still wore a kilt every Friday if for no other reason than just to make sure they still fit.

These days, I am working in the office. There is quite a crew of new people since I last came here regularly. Week by week, they are getting used to it. Some even look forward to my Kilt Friday.

The plan was ... after a day of carpentry, shower, kilt up, join wife for her meeting of the 40th High School reunion committee.

Kilt, vest, button-up shirt, tie, hose, shoes, sporran, sgian and wing tips were all ready for me to get home. Mid day, I caught a splinter in the eye and fled to the "Urgent care" office to have it removed. I didn't get home until the moment my wife and I were to join the meeting. We missed eating a good meal, in a nice restaurant, with good folks.

I got a temporary "Pirate's eye patch" instead. I'll wait for the reunion to dress out in the kilt.

Argh, Tarheel! You know what Rabbie Burn said about the plans of mice and men.

First ever kilted Friday at work for me. Someone remarked how today it'll be 30+ degrees warmer than it started the week and said soon it will be shorts weather. I corrected them and said, nope, it'll be kilt weather soon! Now 20 degrees is chilly, but my kilt has put a few smiles on faces this morning. Heck, it even netted me a free doughnut at the gas station this morning! I could get used to this kilted life... I'll probably wait for it to warm up a bit more before I make another run at it though...
