Last week I was passing by Tom's place on business and I got the chance to pay a visit. Tom and Gael are great people. Tom gave me a guided tour of the country around Jacksonville and Gael grilled some great steaks. I got to see the swamp behind their house, his Baker mill, and even the holey oak. It was a great day visiting a fellow forum member.

Retired and not doing much anymore and still not getting caught

Sorry Jeff, no holey oak picture. I'm camera shy so Tom kept it hidden inside. One thing that impressed me about Tom is his knowledge of local flora and fauna. There didn't seem to be a species that he couldn't identify. Tom and Gael have a real nice place to live, it was like Paradise on earth to me.

You have to watch Tom as he will judge how much you don't know then go off in that direction. ;D

Sorry Tom couldn't help myself. ;D
