I was at home hunting an elusive kilt deal on ebay.uk when a minute before the auction ended I got a call from Kiltedfirepiper. I was a little distracted but got my final bid in before he asked me for the famous "big favor". It seems he was welding the border fence today when he got a nice molten piece of welding slag in his ear. So instead of hours in the ER I saw him at my office to see the extent of the damage. Good news! no real damage, I've seen worse from careless Q-tipping.

How much does a personnal after hours holiday consultation cost? The answer is the bottle on the left.



That's KFP, my dog Penny who thinks he's O.K. the payola Laphroaig 10 y.o. left and a bottle of Glenmorangie, Port Wood Finish 12 y.o. I picked up for our evening tasting. Some Dove 63% Cacao extra dark. The chocolate was on my office desk when we went to my office. It was a gift from a lady I saw on Wednesday. This was shaping up to be a good day.

So it was a perfect eighty degree evening and KFP asked to see my pipes. They haven't been playing in a while, were leaking too much and need to be re-hemped. He had his in his truck and proceeded to entertain the neighbors horses that came to the back fence to see what was up.



I won the auction too. And yesterday I got my A Hay Welsh Dragon Sporran. Awesome!
