obsessing vs. having fun

[pdcorlis]

Amen Alan! No matter how much you doll up a $30 synthetic jacket - in the end its a $30 synthetic jacket. Nothing wrong with that as long as you keep your perspective. It reminds me of sage advice I received from my first boss. He always said "keep moving and look good at a distance."

I think I need another kilt.

When obsessing over trashmo make-it-yourself kilts and thirty dollar unlined polyester Eton jackets, I HIGHLY recommend that folks.

1. have a beer
2. take a deep breath
3. spring into ACTION!!!!!! Don't think it to death! Don't read the instructions twenty times! Don't post about it and every flippin detail ad nauseum. JUST DO IT!
4. have another beer
5. wear said article and make eyes at the lasses.

Carry on, gentlemen.

Very well.


CT - but I'm still not kiltin' in a copter

[Tartan Hiker]

I'm with you, Alan!

Hey, what's wrong with posting "every flipping detail ad nauseum"?

But I do agree with the "have another beer" bit!

Be well,

I'll skip that last part. and the second beer, I tend to be ready for bed after #1, if not halfway through it.

I'll agree to the first four, the fifth one isn't wise in my case. . . .
