That's the right place. It's been storming pretty badly here this afternoon. Last weather report I saw predicts more of the same for Saturday. Hope it changes coz those reenactment tents they use leak!

Or a kilted weekend! I'm in Asheville, and driving all the way to the triangle for a "kilt night" is just not possible.

Last year, I proposed a kilted hiking weekend here in the mountains. Lots of folks were interested, but it never really developed. If there is still interest let's talk. I'll be happy to handle the arrangements if we decide to gather near Asheville.

yep, which is why an NC Kilt Night would probably end up in the Triad (Winston-Salem or Greensboro). a full-on Carolina Kilt Night should happen in Charlotte, that way we can include many of our ilk from SC. and a Triangle Kilt Night should get those in the Triangle of course, and the Triad, and the coast (i know we got one guy in New Bern at least).

Now that's something I'd be up for as well. Timing would be the issue with me, since I never know when I'm working until the week of.

I'm still interested, but the problem is my PUT is still dead (needs a new engine), and I can't leave my work van unattended lest I loose my tools.

Geez, your truck is still dead? This is the same one that left you stranded on I-40 last year, right? I think a bullet through the block is in order.

You can leave your van at my house any time. It will be perfectly safe here.

Two different but related incidents. The first was a busted water pump. I fixed that but it had suffered damage as a result of heat. A month or so later it dropped a valve (I think). I haven't gotten around to pulling the head to see what the story is because I don't really want to hear that I have to put in a new engine. I'm hoping a new head will do it. My hired man was supposed to come last Saturday to pull the head off but something else came up.

Great. That's what I'll do. Let's hit the trails.

You going to be training at Lackland? If so, I'm at Ft Sam Houston and I've found a couple of kilt friendly places around town. We have a nephew at SJ and he likes it. He married his wife at the beach a year or so ago. If you come to San Antonio give me a holler.

YMOS,
