"Whew! Okie! Well, you just sit here and drink your coffee, I'll go milche the cow and gather the eggs."

She ties on her apron and scurries out before he can stop her.

[litl rooster]

 Still under the cover of dark, litl rooster returns to the barn and hitches the mules to harness and the work wagon. Pulling Dos's saddle off, giving him a scoop of oats, and turning him out. Avoiding all the strange going on's in the house he jumps into the seat and gives the team a cluck. They step up in a perfect long walk. Returning to the Dismall, where I tied off the ropes. I unhitch the wagon and bring the team to the tree, where I begin tying the ropes to their traces. Slowly pulling the long heavy (weighted) grass ropes out of the water.The floats and there anchors following. To my surprize there is a large wooden basket/crate attached. In them are a giant tailess crawfish looking creature. Nothing like I ever seen before. Could this be? Is this somethings those people in the flying plates have left behind? Is Trinty really seeing ghost? Why are these peop;e fom another world here in that big fishing boat? Could I have inhaled some of Trinty's brew and gotten the lead poisoning too?

[Delmonico]

The iron clad ties up at the mouth of the Dismal for the night.  The sailors are given passes and head into Dunning.

[Trinity]

Trinity rides in from still number eight with a gleam in his eye.  Wait... no, that was on his saddle.  He had spent the entire past couple days replacing the silver at the stills with the old fashioned lead solder that the FFG had sneakily replaced while his back was turned.  Now the silver was back where it belonged... on his saddle.  Besides, he never did like the new taste of the recipe!

After seeing to his horse for the evening, he rushes to the FFG full of excitement.

"Miss FFG, Ah done brought us somethin' that should help us with our problem!"

[Trinity]

The iron clad ties up at the mouth of the Dismal for the night.  The sailors are given passes and head into Dunning.

Oh well, looks like Trinity's ladies will be too busy for him tonight. 

[Delmonico]

<Author's note: Not Trinity's ladies, just the high class one's, reread my post's, "The Navy of the Great State of Nebraska" only has Admirals.  No Admiral wants Trinity's wagon ladies. >

<Author's note: Trinity would be inflamed if he could read the author's notes! >

[Scattered Thumbs]

<The painting in the wall just snickers.>

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

While the portrait snickers, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother pours a bit of the thinner on a clean dishtowel and attempts to rub some on the lower left hand corner of the painting.

[Scattered Thumbs]

The dishtowel catches fire. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother leaps back from the painting, tosses the dishtowel in the sink and douses the fire with water. She notices the portrait now has glowing, red eyes.

[Scattered Thumbs]

*cough*............*cough*

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Go ahead and cough, you letch!"

With a swirl of her skirts, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother goes to her room and pens a letter to a friend in Maryland. Not trusting the coil oil computer after the fiasco of her green house, she touches her wand to the letter and it disappears.

[Scattered Thumbs]

I ain't a letch. Just normal male. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"No, you are not normal. You are a painting!" The Frumpy Fairy Godmother sniffs as she passes it on her way to the porch. "And those blue eyes aren't fooling anyone!" Duke and Daisy bound at her heels.

[Delmonico]

The iron clad makes it to the bend in the Dismal River and sinks the trawler.  The Japanese sailors are captured and put in the brig of the iron clad and it heads down.

Delmonico comes into the kitchen, "Steamed crab legs for supper, get Slim to clarify some butter."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Why, is it confused?" The Frumpy Fairy Godmother grins as she comes back in with a huge head of cabbage and some carrots.

[litl rooster]

litl rooster now has a wagon full of empty baskets and wet ropes and does not need them. Now that Delmonico has cooked the tailess crawfish..Hey dem are pretty tasty.


Laughing at the site of FFg trying to scrub the paint off the canvas from the can of Paint thinner Trinty brought yesterday. I seen him when he was returning from town with it. Drinking it down he stop at #8 and top the can off with his squezzins. It will probably ignite if you rub it too hard.

[Trinity]

Trinity huffs.   "People that don' know commonly make that mis-stake!  But Ahm here ta tale you, they's a worl' of differnce twixt thinner an' squeezins!  


Yeah, mah squeezin's'll take har off yer crotch, but it's made with love an' that thinner ain'!"
