About our drink:
Weller Full Proof
William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.

About our drink:
Wyoming Whiskey Private Stock
Wyoming Whiskey they are proud of their state and their spirits. the distillery was founded in 2009 by Kate and Brad Mead and their friend David DeFazio. But they had the help of an experienced guiding hand — Steve Nally, former master distiller at Makers Mark. The first commercial Whiskey was released as a four year old in 2012, but they state that all current Whiskies are a minimum of five years old. Importantly, they state loud and clear that none of their spirits are sourced. Every drop is distilled and aged on site at their facility in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, all the grains are farmed within one hundred miles, and the water comes forma local well sunk into an ancient limestone aquifer. And you’ve just got to respect that.
About our gear:
We talk about splitting wood and some ideas to improve your efficiency.
About the Topic:
We reflect on the importance of sacrifice and the understanding that the more souls advance in the spiritual life, the more their interior sufferings resemble those of Jesus and Mary.... suffering not for their purification but for our redemption.

Made from the finest sampling of our master collection of 200,000 barrels of whisky and designed to reinvent the Canadian whisky category.About our gear:Drop clothsA drop cloth is a sheet of material used by painters to protect floors and furniture from the drips and drabs that can trickle down from above. If you have a paintbrush in one hand and a paint can in the other, there should always be a drop cloth underneath you. That’s one of the cardinal rules of painting. But you can do more with a drop cloth than just prevent paint from getting everywhere - let's discuss.About the Topic:How to prepare you and your family for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:1. Arrive earlya. If you aren’t early, you’re lateb. Sundays can be stressful, you need time to decompress2. Silencea. Must be practiced for children and adultsb. Especially the minutes before Massc. If you want to take your preparation to the next level then try to adopt a mantra of silence beginning when you rise on Sunday until after Holy Mass i. “The person who talks constantly grows empty, and his emptiness is not only momentary… Only the word that emerges from silence is substantial and powerful.” Romano Guardini – Meditations Before Mass3. Composurea. Silence (at least interior) is a prerequisite for composure, but composure is one step beyond silence i. Silence overcomes noise, composure overcomes distractions ii. Composure is a silence that penetrates our interior iii. Composure is what allows us to be present1. “Once composure has been established, the liturgy is possible. Not before.” b. This is why we need to arrive early, so we have time to compose ourselves i. When you arrive honestly confront your restlessness, distractions, and disorder4. Prepare your gifts for the altara. Our tithe should not be given as if we are paying a billb. “When we place the money in the basket, let it be with reverence to God and with charity to all.” RGc. Our gift should be a true sacrifice5. Know the readingsa. Can help overcome distractions during Mass: kidsb. Meditate on them before Mass.c. Read the readings every day. Gives deeper perspective and insight into the narrative 6. Have a prayer intention for the Massa. Helps me invest myself emotionally into the liturgyb. A Mass without an intention is a wasted oportunityCONGRATULATIONS TO The Catholic Woodworker FOR OPENING UP A NEW OFFICE BUILDING!

About our drink:
Corner Creek 10 Year
Corner Creek has quietly been around as a “modern” brand since the late 1980’s. During this time the brand has passed hands among various organizations, including Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (aka Willett), and currently being owned by Corner Creek Distillery Co. located in Crestwood, Kentucky. One thing has been consistent throughout the brand’s life, it has never been disclosed where the bourbon is sourced from. For the majority of the brand’s life, it has only sold as a no age statement (NAS) bourbon. This changed with the introduction of the non-chill filtered Corner Creek 10 Year.
