    Calling all SOKS



    Look familiar? Windows XP default wallpaper "Autumn" was taken in Burlington (Kilbride). Glen had the idea of getting a group photo, somebody then suggested hell, lets get a group shot in each of the four seasons (Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter & Road Repair). So who's looking for an excuse to get kilted and an afternoon in the country side. I'll do a recce thsi weekend to get an exact location but from Google Earth shows to be less than ¼ mile from where I took photos/geocached for my FK desert camo reviewon the Bruce. Who's interested and when's a good day?

    But my birthday is in August not April 1st! That's April Foo...

    Robert I never Liked you, you always smell like leather! between you and McMurdo, I Think you've stolen 16 kilt checks that were legitimately mine as well! And stop wearing my new sporran in public, you'll make it smell leathery.


    Edit: Then again this might be the perfect chance to win that leather RKilt in your Rkilts Picture Contest. People will see the picture and it'll seem so familiar some how. Now to keep this submission deadline open until next autumn... Hmmm.

    Just a little more so. Thanks for breaking the sporran in like that for me. It would have take me months, if not years to do that .

    Group picture sounds good to me.
    A suggestion for "Winter" - group shot of SOKS in front of the frozen Niagara Falls. The Canadian side, of course - since that little attempt at real estate acquisition failed back in 1812, you guys still have the better view.

    Unfortunately I am fast approaching my busy season at work, they are asking us to put in at least an extra 10 hours a week starting tomorrow, so getting away from work may prove to be impossible for me for the next 6 weeks.

    Yep, the only way to see the American Falls is from the Canadian side. My thoughts for the winter is at the place of the XP wallpaper in all four seasons hopefully from the same location and the same people. Then Glen could do his magic and merge all four seasons into one picture. The Falls does sound good though. Probably nothing would show the two nations SOKS comradeship better.

    PS. Sorry Gary I just spell-checked my post and it tried to correct Wompet to "Wimped". I just had to laugh (and tell others so they'll try it).
