    Congrats on the new kilt aquisitions, Ron. My mother was a Gordon, so maybe we are distant cousins. I could do a lot worse for a cousin.

    Al and Wompet, you just may be more rational and fiscally responsible than the rest of us! And, I showed my wife a tartan on eBay this evening and she did make a comment about "would you please stop buying kilts for a while?"! The funny part is that I have not bought one since the tan UK I got from flyv65 (Bryan) before Thanksgiving. So we are going on 3 weeks without buying a kilt!

    I am hoping that the fever will be fed when I get my 2 PK's from Jeff. Got a note from him 2 weeks ago that he was still working on kilts in his spare time and with projected delivery times. Theoretically, I could have one from him shipped this week! Unfortunately, we leave for FL for the holidays on Friday! Talk about a bummer. He did indicate he could ship it to an address in FL, but since they will both be lined kilts, they might be a bit warm. And, we will be visiting multiple relatives, so it might end up chasing me around the state. Have to see when he can ship!

    Thanks cousin Jerry,

    My Gordon line came from Alleghany County New York back in the early 1800's. A line of strong men and women I'm proud to honor.

    As for your PKs, you have to wait until mine and the next guy's are done! You just be patient! There are some of us here who make do with a handful kilts, and we appreciate it when we get a new one! You young whippersnappers and your instant gratification, wanting your kilts right now, have to have a new kilt for every hour of the day, What do you think - wool grows on trees?! It grows on sheep! And the rate yer going, there's nakid sheep freezing to death in the highlands of Scotland so you can have new kilts! What did you say - cotton?! Now yer goin' starve them poor boll weevils too?! Yooouuuuu .... eh!

    (grumble) calling me rational ...

    Rob... been accused of being a gentleman and a young whippersnapper all on the same day!

    If my next kilt has a number woven into it, I'll know how it got there.

    The internal auditor has indicated that 3 is enough. So I'm done.
    Until we go to Scotland...or Jeff gets throuh playing with computers, she like his camo kilt.
    Sorry to dissapoint.
    Besides some of you are giving the frugal Scot image a great deal of harm!
