Another Kilt Blog

Ran across a new kilt blog. This is a nice one as the writer provides a lot of updates. Unlike mine where I might do a few a year. Looks like Matt started this one in January of this year. Check it out: Year of the Kilt

Kilted For 10 Days

I wear kilts a lot but many days it may be only for part of the day. I just realized that I have worn only the kilt for the past 10 days. Unfortunately it comes to an end tomorrow morning as I will be back in the office.  I think I have posted this picture before but it really applies for this Monday:

Kilts at Hamvention

An update to the previous post.  The Amateur Radio convention in Dayton is now over for 2014.  As before, I attended in a kilt.  Wondering if I would be the only one.  The answer was NO.  Ran into three others.  One from Kentucky and two more that were vendors at the show.

The weather was just terrible!  Cold and wet.   A few days before it was sunny and in the 80's.  Good grief never fails.  Weather turns to crap just in time for the convention and then turns nice when it is time to close down the show.  So I had to change my intended kilt for this year.  I wanted to use one I had on in 2012 (see last post picture).  Nope, at the last minute went with the denim kilt from Union Kilts.  The next day I had on a kilt from HOS in the "Freedom of Scotland" tartan.

It is that time of year again: Dayton Hamvention.  This is a large gathering of Amateur Radio Operators in Dayton, Ohio.  I have attended every year since I was 13 years old.  This is my 44th year.  I have been wearing a kilt to the event for the past few years.  A kilt is rather rare at that event but I do see one or two some years.

Wearing a kilt does attract some attention and a few photographs are taken.  Some like it, some don't as you would expect.  Every now and then I run across a picture of myself on someone's web site.  This one is apparently from 2012.

W4TI wrote up a nice review of the 2012 Hamvention.  In that review is a picture of me in my kilt:

Kilt for Ball Joint Doll

A couple of posts ago I talked about a kilt I made for a doll.  I now have a picture of the kilt on the doll.  Meet Dy:

Kilts for Week of Jan 5, 2014

This week has been rather cold.  We dropped below zero (F) for a couple of days.  We are back to something normal for this area (30's F).   Not only was it cold the wind was rather gusty.  Wind chills below -25F were not uncommon last week.    So the kilts got a little less use last week.  I don't mind zero degree weather if the wind is not blowing.  Dead calm air, negative temperatures, and a heavy wool kilt is not too bad.  Just keep the upper body warm including  your head warm.  For this week this is what made the cut:
