[Ozark Tracker]

Nope that's the truth,  if'n they come by here we'll have to cover up the clock, you know it'd stop it.

[Sod Buster]

Trinity looks closer at the tintype and has Ozark Tracker tell him what their sign says.  "Ain' no worry 'bout that!  Not even a pole cat would wanna touch his leeups ta theeyum. "

Sod Buster nods in agreement.  I would rather taste some of Del's "medicine" than kiss one of theeyum". 

[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster recovers enough to read Del's note.  He immediately starts loading his wagon with fresh vine-grown 'maters and heads over to the Ranch with No Name.  He wonders what Del meant about the thistles.  There are a few different varieties of thistles around the Soddy - especially the troublesome Canadian Thistle and some Milk Thistle.  Sod Buster's ma told him about the benefits of eating some milk thistle since some believe it can help with liver and gallbladder problems. No Russian Thistles (tumbleweeds) here.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish looks at the tintype O.T. has and immediately holds a Public drinking competition.  The Ladies Prayer group shows up to protest and suddenly Irish has a flood of competitiors.

[Texas Lawdog]

It depends on how long you have been out on the range, whether them women would look good to you.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes back with the wagon full of Musk Thistle roots and flower, plus wild onions.  These are all thrown inta a pot along with some sorghum mollasses and a few red chile peppers.  Delmonico starts is simmerin'.

[Texas Lawdog]

Hey Del, What's ya cookin?

[Delmonico]

Delmonico looks, says, "a secret sauce" and goes back to stirrin'.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, don't go sellin' that "secret sauce" to Mickey D's .

[Delmonico]

Delmonico turns and says, "If they try, I'll shoot them."  He goes back to stirrin'.

[Leo Tanner]

Any shootin needs doin, ya know who ta call on.  Jus ask the magic box

[Trinity]

Trinity shows up to Irish Tom's drinking competition with his buckboard full of #5's recipe.

[Leo Tanner]

Drinkin competishun?
     Make way, I know free booze when I sees it.

[Texas Lawdog]

Well, If we're gonna have free booze, where's the free lunch to go along with it?

[Delmonico]

Well, If we're gonna have free booze, where's the free lunch to go along with it?

Delmonico stops and says, "ain;t no such thing as a free lunch," and then he goes back to stirrin'.

[Leo Tanner]

Leo studies the empty shot glasses lined up in front of him.  Tries ta count them an fails miserably
     The abolishunist wimmins group looks on with disdain.  "You ladies all look right perty through a set a whiskey goggles.  Can I buy ya a drink?"  Leo has a brief premonition of regret, then continues talkin up the ole crows.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico shoos everyone out of the house, tells them to just burn hot dogs over a fire or got to Sodbusters for salad.  He puts up a:

KEEP OUT

Sign on the door, then takes the pot into the kitchen alnong with a couple of cases of the jars.

[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster starts gathering "weeds" from his garden for a large holiday salad.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out and moves the cases to the workshop.  He takes down the sign and starts supper, he has some pork roast he's cookin' down to pulled pork.  On the table sets a jar of BBQ sauce.
