My new retreat

Yup, I know it is ugly, but you should see the inside, it is even more ugly inside. But I need a new retreat now that I don’t have my big boat anymore, and it needed someone to love it before it got ripped apart and hauled off to a landfill.

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why, God? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off."

In a tiny village lived an old maid. In spite of her advanced age she was still a virgin. She was very proud of it. She knew her last days were getting closer, so she told the local undertaker that she wanted the following inscription on her tombstone:

"Born as a virgin, lived as a virgin, died as a virgin."

Not long after, the old maid died peacefully, and the undertaker told his men what the lady had said. The men went to carve it in, but as the lazy no-goods they were, they thought the inscription to be unnecessarily long. So they simply wrote: "Returned unopened."

Two Jewish businessmen meet in the street. "Oy, Abraham, I'm sorry to hear about that fire at your warehouse." "Ssh!" hisses the other, "It's not till next week."

Three Irishmen, Paddy, Sean and Shamus, were stumbling home from the pub late one night and found themselves on the road which led past the old graveyard. "Come have a look over here," says Paddy, "it's Michael O'Grady's grave, God bless his soul. He lived to the ripe old age of 87." "That's nothing", says Sean, "here's one named Patrick O'Tool, it says here that he was 95 when he died." Just then, Shamus yells out, "Good God, here's a fella that got to be 145 years old!"

"What was his name?" asks Paddy. Shamus stumbles around a bit, awkwardly lights a match to see what else is written on the stone marker, and exclaims, "Miles, from Dublin."

When I was married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 25 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old blonde. "Now we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things." My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV."

Marie….. I haven’t drank Jack and Jose for a great many years, since my twenties. Not since I got tired of waking up with women like you. :-)…. BTW, has anyone ever bothered to tell you that you are a frigging idiot? It figures that the only comment on my other cranky blog post would be from an insane chick. Hugs though.

Dear diary: I went back to the hardware store yesterday and bought four more of the double pane windows they have on sale, I now have enough to replace all the windows in the camp trailer. I’m going to insulate it very well so that it is nice and warm inside.

Rick got his new commercial sewing machine and is happy to be back to work catching up. I went over yesterday and showed him how to use his new digital camera some. I worked a bit on modifying the stove that I’m putting in the shop. I also got two eight-foot long pallets (free) from the trucking company for a project I have in mind.
