With the holidays the sewing ladies have been off and I have been handling the shop alone. Kilts must still be sewn. And to top it off I promised myself I would use this time to finish the drywall and painting of the showroom.

The cap badge kinda got put on the back burner. I have the belt portion finished and am working on the lettering. As this is completely hand carved in wax it is hours spent under magnifiers with a scalpel carving each letter.

I'll finish painting tomorrow and will be able to get back on the cap badge on Wednesday.

Again I apologize for the delay.

Thanks Steve - We know you have a life also. There are just so many of us that want the chance to show our fielty to this clan.

Please put me on the waiting list too! BTW, any kilt pins or other "X-Marks" regalia available?

Wait, did we vote on this??? Since when are we allowing Steve to have a life. His sole purpose is to provide us with kilts and related accessories.

It would not matter if all the members of the rabble voted unanimously. It would not matter if you all came to Victoria and sat in the shop till it was done.
Around here there is only one vote that counts and that is held by Bobbie. Her "Honey do" list is impressive.

Steve, it sounds like those of us that live in the area should stop by this weekend and help clean up that list. Good thing I live to far away

Livingston,

You obviously are not married. Honey Do lists can never be completed. It's a law of nature. They just get longer in proportion to the length of time you are married.

Oh yes. They sure do.

So what's the word on the cap badges? I'd love to have one of those.

But, Steve, you know I'm married. You met Joyce last winter when you were down here in Denver. Of course they're never completed but with a gang showing up there you'd be able to sneak out and actually work on the important things. Like the Clan Crest Cap Badge!!

DISCLAIMER: I will not be able to show up myself due to a rather large Honey Do list that hasn't been worked on since the car accident in September.

The next law is this, each good deed is equal to one point, be it vacuuming the rug, washing the dishes, a bouquet of flowers, jewelry, a Porsche 911...all are added up one point at a time. But screw up just once...all points are erased. Pffffft, ziltch, nada and start over at zero!
