Is that a local Florida gator?

 

[Elric]

I'm in Largo, FL. Let me know when the meet up is planned.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I’d say we should plan on the first Saturday in December to meet up. Once I get settled in Florida, I’ll start a thread about the get together. I’m convinced the only way to make this sort of thing happen is to pick a date and place and just go with it. If people show they show. Trying to gain some kind of consensus first results in endless procrastination and nothing ever happens.

Great. We can all expect an uptick in disturbing news items beginning with "Florida man found...."

Either that, or as we rednecks like to say. "Watch This..."
Never ends well after that!

Is that a local Florida gator?

It is a crock. Gators have solid black eyes and brow ridges are not as pronounced. We have both down south in the Everglades back-country.

In preparation of your arrival:

A rock group pays homage to its most frightful character yet. His name is ‘Florida Man’

So Mark, did you make it down here for the hurricane?

Arrived last night at 1:30 am. I didn't pick the best day to get here but it wasn't horrible.

 

[badbriar]

Oh, no sweat - the storm was beating the crap out of Tampa by then!
Speaking of Tamps - a road trip to Edward's is in order!

Well I am here and I survived the hurricane!

We just completed all the remodeling on our Florida home, I will be there before Nov 15. If we can't find or agree on a place to meet, I'll host a get together at the new home in Sarasota. I would propose meeting at a cigar shop in Ybor City followed by dinner at Columbia Restaurant which is about 5 blocks down the street. Regardless, I'd like to have some fellow pipe smokers down to the house sometime. I've seen discussions here about getting together numerous times but very little actual action. I'm going to schedule something and if some people decide to show up, great.

Tag me when you create the thread. I’d like to get together.

Good to hear it!!!

Us too over here by St Pete Beach, but not by much. The trade-off for living near the water is sometimes it likes to visit uninvited. My nephews took the kayak and went noodling for catfish in my backyard.

Don't worry about the gators. I caught a picture of the Florida Skunk Ape running along the road.
