belated Xmarks xmas meetup pics

I almost forgot about these...

Back in December, I went out for a pint with NewGuise. It was supposed to be the first time we would meet in person but we both ended up at the same xmas party the night before. A colleague of his is my father's next door neighbour. Small world, eh?

Edmonton is very cold in the winter and that evening it was around -20 Celcius (-4 Farenheit). Nonetheless, the only thing that suffered from a brisk 20 minute walk were my knees

Heading down to the pub:

NewGuise and I:

Isn't that the oddest thing?... Cool pictures (hey, see what I did there?

)

Edit: I've been in Medicine Hat and CFB Suffield in minus 40. Canadian winters are shocking. I've also been to Edmonton but it was a while ago and we only had time to visit numerous Pubs! I can't even remember the name of the Hotel we stayed in but I recall it had a swimming pool and there was a female bouncer who was a bit miffed when I pitched myself into it at 2 in the morning. I didn't argue, she was bigger than me. There was also a Wendy's next door for all our breakfast needs. Good times with good company. I like Edmonton.

Good photos, what a small world. BTW love the oxblood docs and hose on NewGuise.

Was going to comment on the red hose with the blue flashes...that's a striking contrast...I like it a lot!

I also really like that hunting sporran that you're wearing CMcG. What brand is it?

I agree with longhuntr74. That is a nice combination for hose and flashes.

Well, thanks. My daughter, who sold me the docs, would insist that they are "cherry" in colour. But they work with the kilt and hose, regardless!

I like the tartans of both kilts!

**KiltedDixon** · 26th February 11, 09:59 AM

Good pics. Well done.

I see both of you are rocking the "Chin Sporran" aka "Flavor Saver" aka "Soul Patch".

Up until I recently grew my "Winter Coat" (Beard), I myself was the proud owner of a Chin Sporran as well.
