First Kilted Outing

**Doc Hudson** · 12th June 05, 09:40 PM

With the arrival of the Saddle Tan PK, I finally have a kilt fit to be seen outdoors.

And an update of the RFID system that got me out of the warehouse four hours early on a Saturday was God send.

We decided to celebrate my birthday a day early with a trip to the Crystal Grill, a very popular upscale restaurant in Greenwood, MS.

The trip went without a hitch, no comments, but a couple of double takes from patrons and Wal-Mart customers a bit later, and a few big grins from the restaurant staff, but no comments.

That kilt sure felt good with in the breeze as we walked to and from the car.

Tomorrow, it will get more outing. First I have some errands around town, then I'll be hitting the road back to my Mom's home in South Alabama.

Damn!!!!! Now I'm having trouble deciding what to order next!!! I can't say y'all didn't warn me of the adictiveness.

Doc,

Glad that you have experienced the joy of kilting! Sure is grand isn't it? You will definetly love all those great comments!

A man in a kilt is just...........(I leave that to your imagination)

HELL of a way to celebrate your 29th birthday!

All right, mate. You done, done it.

Hell! I have hats that are older than 29!!!!!!!

Funny thing, my Mom claims to be 39. This year will be for the 30th time. For years, she'd been telling me that I need to find a stopping point, and that it's strange to have a son older than she is.

I'm confused...I thought you'd been wearing kilts for a while, have you had some that you don't consider fit to wear out?

Do we have the SAME birthday? (13th)

Glad to see you happy kilted.

Graham,

My homegrown substitutes have not been enough better than the checkered tablecloth kilts of Highland Game infamy that I would wear them out, other than taking out the trash after dark.

Now I'm proud to be out and about in my PK

Doc H,

Have you seen the Masonic tartan, which was created by the Grand Lodge of Scotland?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

That is definitely on my wish list!!!

I've lusted for one of those for nearly a year.

BTW, I wore my PK to an OES meeting tonight. Lots of doubletakes, and a couple of "Why's?" but no adverse reaction. Truth is, if I'd known I'd have to substitute for the Patron, I'd probably have worn trousers.

Doc,

I haven't gone to lodge in a kilt, yet.

Did you see the Masonic Crest Belt Buckle at the GLOS website?

Very nice!
