It's true ya know, youze guys ever notice how things shrivel up in the cold?

This is funny but true:  This morning, I put a banana peel out on the porch rail to put in the outside garbage.
an hour or so later I went out to go to the barn.  I picked it up with gloved hands and dropped it off the deck onto the snow packed driveway......it shattered like glass......and it ain't what we call super cold today....right around five or so below.

"Manny & Red"??  When did Red start going out with Manny?  Did Red switch teams?  ::)   Did Red dump Mary?  For the answer to this burning question, and others, don't change the channel.

Stay tuned..........  For the continuing episodes of Profino Place.

Profino Custom Firearms sacked their sale's consultant and put the ad budget into a PAC.  This landed them a big gubermint contract to make the next generation of HighTek military sniper rifles. :o  Sorry to say fellows but Profino is the next "Barrett" and their offerings will be out of the budget of most of you common folk.   ;D

Regarding their personal lives this is all I know.  Mary went on holiday to Denmark last summer and was never heard from again.  After a very short grieving period, Red hired Manny to replace her. ;)

"Manny's fanny's Red's." - Manny's fanny belongs to Red? :P

Don't remember who got the original barrel, but I heard it's great as a stake or is that steak ::) , since it's producing some really great beefsteak tomatoes.

I'm pretty sure it was a 357Max barrel, I know I was looking to buy it, and I wasn't interested in a 50-140 barrel.

Hey AtlLaw - Did you handle the pre-nup?

The way I look at it, Red's used to screwing things up and with Mary gone... well Manny musta had to "man up."   :-\  Um... "woman up?"  ::)

And I had Jes do my 50-140!  Ol' BB had a hand in that to!  If he wanted Profino to do the job I figger he woulda give me the barrel with the condition I send it to them.  Since he didn't it must be he valued friendship more then his ... uh "business association" with Profino!

And I didn't know MarynRed when they got together so I had no hand in their marital arrangements.  And MannynRed being both males can't get married so ... wait  :-\  did the Obamanation change that!?   ???

Ummm, I think Red was in the closet, and Manny was already out of the closet.  Manny opened the door to let Red out.  Wait!  Maybe it was the other way, no wait!   :P Was it the other way?  Just thinking about this makes my head spin.

I think CW is right...we all are suffering from Cabin Fever.  Minus 6 - 10 again this morning.  The only bright note is it's getting light an hour earlier and staying light late an hour later.  I find that if I spray Ezox on my trigger finger it won't freeze to the trigger.  That too is a plus. ::)
