An Irish Tradition

Well not much happening around as people gretting ready for the Big Superbowl.
Kickoff starts at six thirty.
Will be a quiet day.
We are still chopping ice and try to get some of the snow and ice off the roof.
Mike spend half the day yesterday with neighbor to take down the gutter.This is a culprite of all or most of our problems.As the ice backs up.
This morning,we did hire someone to do the front.

So will leave you with this joke to make your day.

Paddy had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition.

It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 18th birthday. On that special day, they'd each walked across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink.

So when Paddy's, 18th birthday came 'round, he and his pal Mick, took a boat out to the middle of the lake, Paddy, stepped out of the boat ...and nearly drowned! Mick just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Paddy, went to see his grandmother.

'Grandma,' he asked, "Tis me 18th birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the lake like me father, his father, and his father before him?"

Granny looked deeply into Paddy's, troubled brown eyes and said, "Because ye father, ye grandfather and ye great-grandfather were all born in December, when the lake is frozen, and ye were born in August, ya fookin idiot!"
