An intro, and a hi!

[Thunderbolt]

Hi all,


I'm currently living in the Phoenix, Az area, I've been here for a few years now. Don't really like the weather but it's fine for now.

I've done the entire highland games circut for quite a number of years. First purely as a spectator, then later as an officer/commissioner for my clan. I still act in that capacity when I can, but there are others that can do that better than I and have more time.

I'm also a piper. I have done the competition band circut as well, playing with grade 3 bands mostly. I'm not too active right now but I plan on getting my lip back in shape soon. At one point, I was competing in grade 2 solos. I might be a grade 4 now, just because I haven't played in some time.

The big reason I found this forum is that I was looking at my kilt the other day and I thougt "What a shame. I have an $800 kilt that I haven't worn in a while." So, I thought I might just wear it every day. I used to work in a very dirty/greasy/oily industry and a kilt wasn't an option at all. However now, I'm in a clean-er industry and thought I could do it now and wanted to feel out others who have made the leap, so to speak.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know many of you and hope that some of us might me able to go for a brew or 2 here in the PHX area if there's anyone here.

Cheers,

Thunderbolt
