Thanks for the pics, and I'm loving that tartan more and more Jay.

Thanks - Me too. My new truck is about two inches higher than the old one, so my entry system that I had perfected over the last two years with the old one, doesn't work with the new one. So I did the "wrap towell around rear-end" bump and slide to get in position to drive the hour and twenty minutes to the game - and home. When I took the kilt off and inspected it, I couldn't see any rumples from the ride. It's really nice fabric!!!

I don't have time to post the whole rundown, but I did take 3rd place overall in the "B" class on Sunday. First time ever competing in that class and I did pretty well.
When work slows down I'll have time to post the pictures and give a more thorough review.

Awesome pics, I missed the Grand Parade on Saturday......One of my long time Idols, Alex Beaton, allowed me a few minutes of his performance time to Propose to my girlfriend on his stage. I got to see it from my point of view, but i heard it was pretty good from the second level looking down.

Queen Mary was my first games. I threw in the Novice group and got third place overall. It was a great day on Sunday an I look forward to the next Games!

I post pics of all the medals at a later date.

You did a great job for your first outing. Keep up the training and you'll be competitive in the C's in no time.

Hey Buchananscotsman, welcome and Congrats on your proposal. I'm in Anaheim too, we'll have to meet up for a kilt night.
