How to Get to Heaven

The Catholic path to salvation is not particularly more virtuous than others but when it arrives via a Redheaded Irishman...

Paraphrased.

Before I came up here tonight to talk to all you great supporters of the Sister Servants of Mary I was in the back and having my picture taken with the sisters.  Now we all know "you cannot take it with you."  Still, if there is one thing I "can take with me" it would be that picture.   Why?  Because when I get up to the gates I plan on holding up that picture and saying; "I'M WITH THEM!"

  5. Vince Scully told the -exact- samer story word for word as my dad told me a half century ago. The admonisions, the ruler, the ruler on edge. The resolution was similar. For Scully his advocate asked the nuns why they were trying to make Vincent something that was clearly not God's will.

  7. The only chains I have fit the skid steer. I just stay home for a few days. Retirement has it's advantages. Come to think of it I never had chains for any vehicle. Used to love to drive slipping and sliding in my 78 Blazer 4x4. Now I don't like the idea of digging my truck out of a snow bank. :)

  8. [Raises hand] Alright everyone who ever did bumper sliding raise your hand.

    My bumper sliding was of the order commonly known as Darwinian Selection failure.

    The last winter damage to the dock is being repaired so it won't collapse. Damn Wake Boats!! They should all be shot with sh*t and killed for stinking.
    The sweet lovely wife is down in San Joe's Nose with her sisters and doing a bit of granddaughter sitting and I am working on refinishing a set of end tables. I tried a citrus based stripper. Ugly!!! I gave up and got the read deal with Methylene Chloride and other good shit in it. One table is ready for varnish.
