Two birds - one stone
Just new to the forum but I thought I would share this. Our search and rescue group was invited up to our local ski hill to help kick off their summer season. We took up our new command truck for a little show and tell, and I got to spend the weekend spreading the good word about our SAR capabilities and be kilted in a beautiful environment. Favourable comments about the kilt, although a lot of jokes about responding to a search attired as I was and having to dela with Devil's Club....ouch!

Great job, out and about, fearless in the kilt in a very public place. Bravo.
Since you are relatively new here, and we have already become friends (we won't discuss how), I feel I should gently apprise you of Xmarks Rule No. .....well, whatever number it is: NO PICS, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. You see, way down in one of the xmarks codiciles that you approved when you checked that "I agree to" box when you joined is the statement that this board is filled with VOYEURS and folks who enjoy VICARIOUS kilted experiences, and that you agreed to post LARGE FULL COLOR PICTURES anytime you go out kilted, even if it is just down to the convenience store to pick up milk. Anything even remotely significant like, say, driving a Search And Rescue Vehicle up a mountain while kilted definitely falls within forum guidelines and REQUIRES PICTURES.
Just a friendly public service reminder (we have some folks who get pretty grumpy when something exciting like this happens and they don't get their daily "hit" of kilt pictures).
Well done you.
Jeff

Thanks for the nudge Jeff. That was the first picture I've ever posted, anywhere, and I guess I didn't get it big enough. What size to you guys use to make it 'viewable'...I do so hate not meeting expectatons.

400 - 800 pixels on the longest dimension is good.

Way to go and a sharp look too. Thanks for all you do.
Feeling bad now about leaving Search and Rescue out of the kilts and service thread.

Well done!
Somehow I think if I needed rescuing I wouldn't care what my heroes were wearing.
