Hi Steve,
I have a kilt buckle which I'm happy with. I'd like to replace the small buckles on my kilt belt and my sporran strap. The ones that came with them are imo cheap. Next time I'm buying from you. The reason I went with Centaur Design was I liked their sporran which they said they could match in color all three items. They didn't even do that. I wasn't happy with what I got from Centaur Design.

I shall be there as well!

Okay, boys and girls. The time is here.

Last one to the Lamont tent is a rotten egg. I'm putting this out so it'll go back to the top.

BTW, don't forget to bring your favorite beverage to share. We occassionally take a wee dram.

Looking forward to seeing all the rabble there.... I have a new unveiling for today!

It was great meeting you guys. Steve, thanks for the buckles! Huge improvement over the ones I have. Ahh... tomorrow's another Highland Games day.

You are welcome Tommy. Great meeting you and Thistle"-"Lass

It was a great day to be at the mountain with the drone of pipes and the Celtic fiddles and the scent of oaky Scotch and meat pie drifting in the air.

We had a great turn out of folks from Washington to Detroit to Alabama and all over the Georgia. Kilted Sawyer, let's get a kilt night going here at Paddy's real soon. Would love a chance to have more conversation.

Sorry to have missed Jim and Mike (but I think I saw Splash4 across the parade field during the opening ceremonies)

Yeah, I was there in a new kilt. Sorry to miss you guys at 11. I sat down to take a load off and fell asleep until the pipes started.

I too missed many people in the crowd. But they say it's the second largest highland games in North America, so that happens. I hope we can all connect tomorrow.

I forgot my sunscreen.

Well, due to a conspiracy of dunces, I was late arriving and missed the 11:00 gathering. Sorry, guys, I tried, but the stars were not aligned. I got there at 1:00 only to find that they had an annual meeting, so I missed almost everybody. I walked a lot, didn't buy much (other than a brew and a Scoth egg), and I had an overlall terrific time . . . as usuall.

I just wished I could have caught up to everyone. And I missed Mike's new kilt!

But then, my son-in-law purchased a new kilt for the baby, and I bought him a sporran, so it was a pretty good day. (There better be some Xmas pictures on the kilt and sporran or someone is written our of the will.)
