Here are some pictures of Tom's great hospitality

Murf!!

You can have a lot of fun warming yourself around a firepit while the fire gets right.  I've had nights when 11pm was the start of the cooking.  It makes for a long night but the meal sure is good. Just think of the Coffee pot on the open fire and the toasty toes and fingers held to the fire, and the oysters you steamed open and the apple with the brown sugar in it baking on the edge and the stories you can tell while you are chasing away the winter.

DanG didn't realize Adam and I was so close to you until we arrive at Tom's.

I also have an apple tree that I am going to have to prune early this spring. I will save those limbs. I also have some hickory and of course oak trees.

I am going to try a roast over the fire. My wife thinks I have went over the edge with this steak cooking, well, shoot I haven't cooked one the way Tom did yet, Wait until I get done and then put me in a straight jacket Naw, she a pretty good girl for sure, anyway she has put up with me for almost 24 years. Its really her fault for I weight about 180 lbs when she met me and now look at me......

Dont feel bad Tom, my wife is the same way.She asked why I needed a pit when I have a brand new grill. I told her it aint the same as a grill.  She said, well aint there a fire in it too???  Guess she got me on that one.  Oh well, she will think different when she bites into one of those steaks.

Mo Tom,

I know what you mean about the married and weight thing.  I weighted 147 the day we tried the knot.  Now we won’t talk about how far over 200 lbs I’m.

Hey Tom,
Not to change the subject, but any chance that car ship tied up at Blount Island is named "Kentucky Highway"?
Was watching a show last night on National Geo. and part of the show was about the Kentucy Highway's trip throught the Panama Canal.

[Tom]

Furby, I remember reading the english name but Kentucky Hiway wasn't it I don't think.  Most of the writing on those ships is Hen scratching.

Yeah, I know.
I was just wondering after seeing the pic and show on the same day.
