Brief summery:
Ryan doing well, he’s big. Carrie is enjoying work as a nanny. The animals are all right. Work is well work. I am very close to be all set for college. Rafting season started with a bang.
Summery over, back to work………
Lizards do not live forever

Edit… I forgot the photo of Sparky hanging outside.
Our bearded dragon, Sparky, passed away sometime yesterday. She has been behaving oddly, and wouldn’t eat. Carrie had her for about 7 + years which is a good long life for a bearded dragon in captivity. I will miss her in an odd way. Being that she stayed in her tank all most all of the time, it’s not like she was cuddly. But she would stare at me, and give me her I AM MAD face. Plus she was fun to feed crickets, and Ryan enjoyed picking her dandelion flowers. This should be a hard blow for Ryan, being so young, if he asks we can say she left. The odd part was Carrie taking her from the tank and putting her in a plastic bag, luckily it was trash day. I check the City of Seattle gov site to find out what to do, and she fit the under 15 lbs throw away specs.
Well, that leaves 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 snakes. Oh and the boy.
Did Frank Sinatra sing a song about losing ones pet lizard? Or was that Tom Jones.
Good night Sparky, enjoy eating crickets and doing what ever Lizards do in Lizard heaven.

I am in shape, roundish
April 9th, 2008 by Kilted Eric
I need to better my diet, but mostly I need to exercise more. I am getting thicker around the middle. Soon I will have to buy the Beergut cut Utilikilt.
What else can I say about that? Not much, just need to do it.

Ben over at Kiltme.com has been hard at work making kilts for himself. He’s up to 2 now, and I just love what he has done with the second kilt.
A box pleat kilt, but he worked in a tartan fabric on the inside pleats. Very sharp looking. You can see for your self here

I heart kilts. You all know this. I am a huge supporter of kilts in all forms. I support the traditional, and the modern kilt wearers alike. I almost never have anything bad to say about kilts. Until tonight.
Simply put, HEY MODERN KILT MAKERS WHY DO YOU MAKE EVERY G@% D@&$ KILT OUT OF COTTON FABRICS? Why? I love my Utilikilts. But my biggest gripe is the cotton. It rains in Seattle, and when cotton gets wet, you get cold. Simple math. 1 + 1 = Cold walk home.
I only have one wool tartan, I don’t wear it to work because it cost me $400 some odd bucks. Today would have been the best day to wear it. Rainy and cold. While walking home from school, I got soaked.
Super Soaked. Yuck. I need to either make my own “modern” kilt out of something NOT COTTON (but still warmish) or make a slip that is non cotton.
In closeing, We often complain about things we love, fatty foods, the goverment, my wife. I don;t love them any less. I just need to convince somebody of this.
Give me non-cotton or Give me….. well not death, thats pushing it, but how about a bad cold in the nose.

Today I met the infamous Doug Cox (click here to learn a bit more, see the Second Place winner)
He is a very cool guy, who owns tons of Utilikilts, and has been a part of the Utilikilts family for some time now. I am just excited to meet him, kinda like meeting a movie star!
Plus, he knew my name from the blog (this one) and the podcast! That also makes me Happy!
HI DOUG COX IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU!

I have been dealing with eyestrain this week. Well, I haven’t gone to a doctors or anything yet, but I looked it up on the internet, and I am pretty sure its eye strain.
I get weird kinda headaches, and dots in my field of vision. SO I have been trying to limit my Mac time a bit. I also will change to colors of my screen, or wear sunglasses.
I should go to an eye doctor at some point.
