"Jonesing" longer than needed.
Greetings all,
Received my first tank today and I love it. Now, don't get me wrong the SWK I had was good for the money but the superior quality of this 16oz. handmade kilt (Highland Granite tartan) is astounding. I purchased it thru our own Matthew Newsome of the Scottish Tartans Museum in NC. I believe Barb had posted some pics of a Highland Granite tartan kilt she had made up recently but I'll try to get some pics of my own up when I can. It really is a thing of beauty.
But what has this do do with the title of the thread you ask. Well gather round and listen to my tale. I had ordered the Kilt back in August and the "jonesing" began right away. I managed to occupy my time by perusing kilt sites for more kilts and accessories and generally pondering what tartan kilt I will next purchase (leaning toward the weathered MacDonald). As October approched the "jonesing" intensified as I knew my tank would be complete soon. Earlier today I emailed Matt just to confirm my shipping address and ask if he could notify me when it was shipped. I soon recieved a reply indicating that the kilt had shipped Oct. 4 and according to FedEx it had been delivered Oct. 7. Now, I've had problems with FedEx before so my blood immediately began boiling . My lovely wife being the cooler of the two of us thought to call the office of my apartment complex and see if I had a package there. Sure enough I did. I ran down there to discover that FedEx had indeed delivered my kilt Oct. 7 and it had been sitting in the office since. Nice of the folks (read idiots) in the office to let me know I had a package wasn't it. Crisis averted, I ran home to try my kilt on. It looks great, it fits great, I love it, and the wife likes it a lot to ;)
All is well. Now then.... time to start saving for the next one.
Bryan
