That clarifies everything! We all liked the Captain!

Lucky Irish Tom · October 20, 2005, 04:37:53 AM

;DYep, not too many folks don't know who he was!

And Mr. Green Jeans too!

< Author's note: Dagnabbit, I posted on this last night and it disappeared!

When Will was tiny, I read "Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel" to him many times. Dunno who Mick was, maybe he was Mike's ne'er do well cousin who drove the shovel up a tree?

Confession: my first crush was on Mr. Green Jeans.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother blinks as though coming out of a particularly good day dream. "I don't know what that was, Slim." She turns to go back into the kitchen to make coffee and biscuits.

The dissasembled steam shovel arrives in several ox pulled wagons, it is also plain it has railroad type wheels on it instead of crawler tracks.

<Crawler tracks were not invented till about 1912>

But soon a large amout of wagons appear, carring dissasembled buildings and lots of rough lookin' men. The quickly set up a town between the ranch and the Dismal and start layin' track.

Yes, it is Mike Mulligan. >

"Is the railroad gonna go thru here?"

Delmonico · October 20, 2005, 12:00:14 PM

Nope, just a track from the Dismal to the crater to bring the agrivate and one from the crater to the barn to bring the Portland Cement.

We got to have it to run the steam shovel.

Brazos Bucky Smith · October 20, 2005, 12:34:59 PM

"

Is the buildings temp-o-ary too?" Asks Brazos, while rubbin' his beard. Ain't ready to live too close to any town.

This water your gonna be puttin' in this here cement lined hole is it have medicinal properties? Ya gonna have pretty ladies drapin' hot towels on the people layin' on the benches?"

At this point FFG comes out and belts Brazos with a broom up side the head sending his hat rocketing across the hole!

Brazos after picking himself up off the ground, says "Nevermind, ducks would be nice."

This is a temporary Hell on wheels Railroad constrution town, just till they get the rails laid. I borrowed them from the CB&Q, when they are done they go back to Wyoming.

Oh as a precaution I tied Trinity to his bed post.

"Oh!"

Sod Buster · October 20, 2005, 06:28:07 PM

Hey Rooster,
Now that Del is laying RR track, perhaps we can convince him to operate a permanent spur line. We could use it to get your cattle to market.

litl rooster · October 20, 2005, 07:58:04 PM

Sod Buster that would be a good ideal...but if I might point out what happened the last time Delmonico went to Asleep at the Wheel, with a steam engine.

Trinity · October 20, 2005, 08:12:39 PM

Ol' Trinity is sleeping, standing straight up where he is tied to the bed post. He begins to dream of Ray Benson and his band.

Brazos Bucky Smith · October 20, 2005, 08:29:37 PM

All those little puppies eating at mom's ah, things!

And, they develop a mighty urge. they are looking around for someplace to lift a leg, and there is Trinity standing asleep. The puppies look bac and forth from Trinity to the bed post.

Soon all puppies have a relieved look

and Trinity has legs and boot that are very wet, and fragrant!

Trinity · October 20, 2005, 08:36:30 PM

The smell awakens Trinity. He stands there helpless for a moment. Then he sqirms a bit then falls asleep again.

Brazos Bucky Smith · October 20, 2005, 08:39:21 PM

That Trinity is some lad!

Joyce (AnnieLee) · October 20, 2005, 08:42:00 PM

With all the commotion, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother's eyes grow wide and alarmed. She's not ready for a town so close either, and a duck pond isn't worth it! But before she can protest and say she's changed her mind about the whole mess, she hears Delmonico say: "This is a temporary Hell on wheels Railroad constrution town, just till they get the rails laid. I borrowed them from the CB&Q, when they are done they go back to Wyoming.

"Oh as a precaution I tied Trinity to his bed post.

"

She heaves a great sigh of relief.

Trinity · October 20, 2005, 08:58:03 PM

The smell of booze wafts through the open window into Trinity's nostrils. With it comes the sound of a drunken bar fight.

Delmonico · October 20, 2005, 11:59:46 PM

After the bar fight is over, Delmonico and Trinity can here music in the autum night, It's Ray singin' Shoooo, shooo, shooo shooo sha booggy.

Delmonico is dissapointed, if he knew Asleep at the Wheel was gonna play the Hell on Wheels town, he'd a got him and Trinity tickets.

Delmonico decides to find out who's playin' tommorow night.
