Oh yeah, he's da man! Seriously. I stand humbled by his many achievements. It's fun to ask him how to build a house and watch him describe it from start to finish, including the foundation building and well-drilling (which as I recall he had to do three times back in Pineland days).
Uncle Dick is one of the most amazing people I know, just dont ask him to get into or out of a boat(hahaha).
I heard about your adventures with the boat Tom! Are you dried out yet? Lol!
