    I destroyed a kilt

    Yesterday while cleaning up around the house I lost my Sport kilt in an incident with the gas grill. I was cleaning for the beginning of the season and one way or another lost control of the grill. The grill tipped over and with my quick reactions I grabbed for it as it fell one of the grates cough on my kilt ripping it as it went. The move to save the grill ( Ducane) cost me my lounging kilt, the part that would have broke would have cost less then the kilt.

    So here I sit after the trash truck just took my ripped kilt away , down to my paintball kilt ( 12+years) and my semi dress BW and nothing to hack around in no more.

    Sorry for your loss, but what a great chance for an upgraded lounging kilt!

    When I read your post to my wife, she just looked at me and "Don't try it"
    I think maybe I better set mine on fire first!
