    Day two of pictures from the "Ocala Games"








    I was setting in the deep shade during the bands trying to keep cool as it was getting very hot by then, and the camera I was using doesn't have any optional settings and the ones I attempted didn't turn out at all. I am sorry for that.

    And of course how could I forget to mention meeting me new friend and Xmarks member "Monk" and his lovely family. We did take pictures of the meet up but they were all on his families camera's so we will all have to wait to see how they turned out as "HE" or his lovely wife will have to post up what they took at the games. Come on ol fella, get the pictures up on here so we can all have a good chuckle early this mornin!

    It was my great pleasure to meet you and your son. My son and his girlfriend had a good time competing (first time for both), and I was impressed by how the other competitors gave coaching and advice to my son after each try at each event. He's hot to get a Sport Kilt now and is planning on getting to the next games that he can.

    And for the REAL question of the morning, how do I post pictures?

    OK, let's see if this will work. Here are the wife and I on the way to the company party on Friday night. First time to wear a kilt in public, it went over well. The boss, owner of the company, said that he wished that he had worn his kilt too.

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
