    Pulled the trigger again, big time

    Yup. Couldn't stand it. Temptation jumped up and bit me again, twice this time, maybe more.

    Scotweb had a clearance Ancient MacDonald 13 oz kilt in sizes just slightly smaller than my usual ordered kilt, but considering I have lost 15 pounds this summer I think I can fit into it now, at almost half what it would cost to custom it, after I used up my accumulated Scotweb points (they really do make a difference). This kilt is to replace a similar kilt that I have shrunk out of, even after moving the straps/buckles to try to bring it in a bit, it still slides off my **** unless I wear braces with it.

    Then, after selling a rather pricey camera lens on ebay this week, I decided to use a part of those proceeds to patronize our own Keltoi Gaelic Clothing and ordered a much awaited Kingussie 16oz Marton Mills Jura in Caledonia Ancient (gotta love those colors), that I know I will have to wait probably 4 months for. And while I was there I hit the button again for a couple pair of custom hose (my first), Argyles for my Forrester Modern family tartan and ancient blue/green diced to go with my Ancient Douglas (and maybe the new Ancient MacDonald from Scotweb). Just could not pass by the benefit of the Canadian:US dollar exchange "discount", plus the 10% discount John (our own Slohairt) gives to xmarks members, plus the free shipping with the bigger order.

    Feeling a bit guilty now, although I have been considering these purchases for a long time and they are being bought using "recycled" money from stuff I donh't use anymore.

    One month or less jones on the Scotweb kilt (free slow boat shipping), 4 month jones on the Kingussie Ancient Caledonia (John's business must be picking up), uncertain jones for the hose as they may have to wait for the kilt to be finished to ship all together. Still have a couple other active joneses right now so I guess it will be a while till I get out of that cellar.

    Submit to the power of the jones.
