Coffee and grub

[Forty Rod]

Saved you some, 'Sleep.  There's jam left, too.

[Tensleep]

*Turns and walks back to the chuckwagon. The grin on his face is huge*

"Well thankee sir, thankee very much."

[Delmonico]

You should really try Annie's jam on fresh sourdough biscuits made with butter as shortenin'.  Mighty fine eatin' with another big plop of butter on top.

<Whisper on: Annie, I'm savin' the other jar, me and Gopher Grease is gonna have fresh biscuits one of these days.  But he's got to bring my shotgun back. )

[gophergrease]

Del, if I let you keep the jam and biscuits all to yourself we call it even?

[Delmonico]

I supose ya want the Mec 600 and the recipe fer them magic loads?    Annie get yer skillet, yer gonna have to THWACK Gopher Grease.

[gophergrease]

Just pulling your sting.

[gophergrease]

What Can I get in trade for these?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Now why in the blue blazes would I thwack a man who thinks my jam is worth a shotgun?!? Are you nuts, Del??



AnnieLee

[gophergrease]

from what I hear the jam is worth more than gold. 

[gophergrease]

Ya all hungry yet?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Awww... shucks.

< Digs her toes in the dirt, then wraps GopherGrease in a hug >

GG, I got a kid I ain't using no more.  He don't look like much but he works hard and the horses seem to like him.  I think that's because he smells like they do.  He's sixteen and big as a grown man, but dumber than an ox.

How's that for a trade?

[Delmonico]

I thing GG went to bed but since we are pards I can deal for him.     Can this kid haul water, split wood, dig holes, load and unload duch ovens out of a truck.   Oh can he peel taters and wash dishes, in general do KP.   If so I'll bake a 50 pound bag of flour inta bread, GG will make several nice cakes of different types and we'll also teach him to cook in dutch ovens. 

PS.  We'll feed him well and we'll even find an extra blanket or two for him to sleep in.

[Forty Rod]

Sounds good to me.  I'd rather buy his clothes than feed him.  That kid can eat as much a any ten men, but he can do almost any job that don't take much thinkin'.

An' don't leave honey out where he can get to it.  He drinks it like water, given the chance.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Dang, and here I was, thinking of sending Will out there for a while and was going to do it for free! Didn't know I could trade him for bread and cake!

Maybe he's more afraid of my hugs than my skillet?

[Will Ketchum]

Well it's been nice visitin with you but I have some papers in my saddle bags.  Thought some of the vermin might have been hangin around Sleep's camp but since he's on the straight and narrow now I'll be movin on.

[Silver Creek Slim]

If ya look hard enough ya might find a paper on Pukin Dog in that saddle bag. 

Slim

[Delmonico]

Check fer some on Slim, bet there is some.
