    Finally!!!

    Been saving for a while now, originally for a new kilt but then decided to save up for a tweed jacket and matching vest instead. So after b-day money, selling some bicycles,old lawnmower, and assorted golf clubs, I was still short and my good wife said I could put any golf winnings in the pot to make up the difference(I like to play in blind draw cash pot scrambles). Well I got within $30 of my goal and then zip, didn't win a dime for the last 3 weeks. Been driving me crazy as I always seemed to be 1 shot shy or lose a playoff. Finally my luck changed and today I won enough to get me over the top. Soooo, tomorrow Rocky's getting a phone call, don't know how much sleep I'll get, feels almost like Christmas

    That's a good way to do it. You get to build up some anticipation, have plenty of time to consider your decision, and you stay on budget. Nice!

    Awesome. Sounds like a prize worth playing for. That's good discipline, I think at some point I'd have caved and let my trusty credit card go to work

    Ordered my jacket and vest from Rocky yesterday, the tweed that I decided on is out of stock at the moment but is due to woven soon, so it will be a few weeks longer than normal but I am sure it will be worth the wait. Lets the Jones begin!
