    I've been seriously wearing kilts for some five years now (before that I would wear a kilt for a special occasion only,) and I have just started on #1. However, I have piloted aircraft while in a kilt. Does that qualify for the list?

    Kilted version of the Mile High Club perhaps?

    I don't blame you,...it was a perfect opening. I would have done the same thing. Besides, my wife is smiling after reading your post (I like that...)

    And no I can't do any of those.
    You left out hunting your own critters, skinning them, scraping them, and THEN tanning them... I do that, I can also spin and weave wool but choose not to (isn't technology great?)

    Oooh, what about shearing your own sheep?

    Tehehe, I saw this on YouTube and decided my hubby should learn this dance...maybe minus the skipping ring-around-the-rosie thing

    It depends. Did you design and build the airplane yourself?

    And were you kilted at the time?

    I only do 11 and 12, but I do wear a kilt almost daily, does that count?

    I qualify for 10, 11, and 12. I also built my own spinning wheel and can spin fairly well. Had to give away all the yarn as I don't know how to knit or weave. Tried some sewing, but was not proud of my work, so I leave it to those that can. Those that sew come to me to get their car repaired. That I can do!

    Unfortunately no. However, I would love to build and fly Comp Air Inc.'s Comp Air 8 in a tail dragger configuration, or Vertical Aviation Technologies, Inc.'s Hummingbird 260L (4 place helicopter.)

    And were you kilted at the time?
    If either one of the above mentioned projects becomes possible,...you bet! I will build it kilted.
