Well I'm sorta back.

What ever I had just sorta went away. I have been working on two more sgian dubh. Got the blades made and got them heat treated. Don't know when I will get them done I can't work more than about an hour and a half and I start to feel bad. I have to keep pushing myself, can't just sit listening to pipe music all day. Sure wish I could still play, but that's out. Nothing works right any more but that's to be expected at my age and with all the health problems I've had. Like they say getting old is not for sissies. Wore my kilt to church and caused a stir. It seems the pastor has one of them modern (kilts) one of the other preachers went and got him and brought him over to where I was sitting pointed at me and said to him, now that's a kilt. Made me feel sorry for him.

I know my time span I can spend working is pretty down from even 5 years ago. I'm just happy I can still do everything I have always done. I moved to a 55+ mobile home community and the kilt wearing gets alot more stares than it use to. Some people knocked on my door the other day from a local church and since I was just working in my underwear I grabbed my sports kilt since it's easier to just velco it than my others and opened the door. The woman wasn't the least bit fazed by a shirtless man in a kilt but the guy looked shocked and kept walking away a few feet but then the woman was just talking and he'd come back and look at me and walk away again. Kind of felt sorry for him.

I'm glad to hear you're recovering! Being stuck in bed with health issues is demoralizing.
