    OOOOO! I like that one! Will be a magnificent kilt once Matt finishes it. How much longer until it is yours?

    Oh wait, I'm sure there are a dozen others that want to know the same thing since they ordered ahead of you and are jonesing for theirs...lol

    Good question, Matt. I've never been able to find a definitive answer.
