Sorry for the crappy phone pic.  I don't know how it happened.  Same ol' story...The large and the small co-habitate in the garage, but aparently there was lack of protection. 

Seriously, I've been thinking about a mini or perhaps another small for on the road cooks (mostly at my Mom's).  Wilma has a touch of back trouble and last week, I had the same.  I don't know what I did, I was seeing stars!  When that artman64 thread about selling his brand new mini came up, I bit.  Spent all day driving in dicey weather (STUPID), but I think the Lord wanted me away today because the Christmas excrement smote the rotating cooling unit.  Family trouble between my Mom & my baby sister.  If I was home and took the phone call from my crying Mom, well, I'm sure things would end up worse.  So it's Christmas at my place.  I'm gonna T-rex some nice thick rib eyes (sear in the small, roast in the large) and there will be all kinds of good things to eat!  I guess there's usually a turd in every family.

I already have a High-Que grate and a couple of 8.5" pizza stones on order from Amazon.  Gotta get the mini woo next!  Freddie's scoring heavily this Christmas cause I already got an AR!

    "The Christmas excrement smote the rotating cooling unit."

    That is the story of every Christmas when I was a kid.

    Enjoy the mini, and try to stay cool being the referee.

    There's no refereeing between the rational and the irrational, I'm sorry to say.  This is a pretty good Christmas goober.  The worst one I remember as a kid was when my alcoholic aunt badly insulted my Dad (brother & sister) on Christmas Day.  She lived in Tampa and Dad piled us back into the motorhome and we roared off home to Michigan that day.  Christmas dinner was at McDonalds.

    Yup, I understand.  Might be the reason I have a shirt with Santa on it, and the legend Ho **** Ho.

    Good luck my Michigan friend, keep your fantastic sense of humour, (spelled with a "u" cause that's the way us metric north of 49 twits do it) 
    Always look forward to your comments, insightful, idiotic, funny and always really really cool - Merry Christmas. Good luck with the "green" kids!

    If you had an egg cover, this never woulda happened.

    I thought it would be OK.  Papa is trapped in a table and Mama is in a nest and I keep the casters locked!  Well, I did forget to lock 'em that one time not too long ago...
