Irish notes the rising water flowing through the kitchen and out onto the porch.  It seems to be coming from Del's room.  Then he notices that the walls of Del's room have begun to bulge outward.  He quickly wades back through the kitchen gesturing back the way he come, everbody run I think its gonna blow!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim comes outta his room and sees a stream flowing down the hall. He hears the walls of Del's room creaking. He goes to Del's door and touches the knob. The door bursts open with a tidal wave. Slim is swept out into the yard.

<Arthur's note: The first indoor waterpark!  >

[Delmonico]

When the water/sweat quits flowin' delmonico washes his quilts and hangs them to dry.  "Memberin' it was Stoney Pete that whopped him this time, he graps him, throws him in hot water, adds lye soap, scrubs him on the wash board, runs him through the wringer and hangs him up to dry by his ears.

He then graps a mop and mops up the floor.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim picks himself up outta the salty-sandy mud. He sees Stoney dripping wet hangin' by the ears from the clothes line. He shakes his head and mumbles to himself, "This place is gittin stranger all the time." He gets a clean set of clothes and takes a bath.

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

"Stoney is sure gonna have sore ears when he drys out!  Was it fun comin' down the stairs in that torrent Slim?" Brazos muses, "It were a good thing I was outside when Del openned his door.  He looked like one of them surfer dudes comin' down that wave of sweat water on his headboard!"

Brazos watches Delmonico to see what he will next come up with!

[Silver Creek Slim]

"It was until I hit the closed front door." 

[Delmonico]

From the die-rect-ion of dunning, several wagons come over the hill.  Ine is covered with a tarp, one has a large wooden vat and there a several barrels marked sulphuric acid.  Thes are also several small kegs marked iron fillings.  There is also a large wicker basket in one of the wagons.

[Stoney Pete]

When Stoney's clothes dried he took himself down from the clothes line.  Satisfied that he will not need a bath now till spring he heads to the house.  Feeling thin and not having had breakfast, he make a huge lunch of meat and spuds.  When finished he grabs a bottle of Irish whiskey and heads for his chair on the porch.

Seein' the wagon's pull up and Del heading for them, Stoney awaits the next contraption that will spring from the mind of Del.

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

  I thinks I know what it is!

[Silver Creek Slim]

<Arthur's note: It's a giant wolverine.>

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

Nope, Slim don't think so.   They only has those over in that Michigan State! heh hehe heh!  Sorry , I could not hold myself back. 

I bet it is one of them observation ballons!

[Delmonico]

Delmonico attaches the oiled silk bag to the wicker basket.  He then sets up the the wooden vat and pours in some irun fillin's.  A barrel of sulpheric acid it pour on top and the lid closed.  Soon the oxy-gin and the sulphur molly-cules combine with the irun molly-cules and releases the hi-dree-gin molly-cules which Delmonico pumps into his balloon.

When it is full, he climbs into the basket and releases the ropes.  "Up, up and away in my beutifull ball-loooooooooooooooon."

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish wanders out to see what Del is up too!  Now that hte house has dried out he can't fish in the parlor anymore.  Irish sits down next to Stoney to see what happens next!

[Delmonico]

What the porch sitters did not notice is that just before the ball-loooon asent, Delmonico gets some Ferric sulphate out of the vat and puts in in Tom's Irish Whiskey, turning it green.

<Authors Note, is is not pision's, it well help yer hemo-globin. >

With a fair breeze blowin' from the west, Delmonico heads off to Dunning.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"What in tarnation is he gonna do wit dat thang?" 

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Hey Stoney lookit, Del must be a magician he turnt mah whiskey the proper color fer an Irishman!

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

 

"I told ya so!  I told you so!"  Shouts Brazos as he jumps around the yard as Del flys off in his balloon!  Del takes a weighted bag and lets fly!   Brazos so busy jumpin' around don't look up, and spat!   the bag hits him on the head and continues on down til poor Brazos ain't any taller than a quarter!

Brazos can only whisper "ow, that sure ruins my day!"  He kinda crab walks over to the porch. (Author's note:  This particular little move takes him the rest of the afternoon)

[Delmonico]

Long after dark Delmonico comes up with the ball-looon and basket in a wagon with a driver, Dunning Livery Stable painted on the side.  The unload the ball-loooon and Delmonico pays the driver.

"Dern it, made it all the way to Dunning and landed safley.  Then I couldn't get home a cause we almost never have an east wind out here."

Delmonico notices Stoney Pete and Irish Tom do not look so pale and anemic, they can't walk and slur their words, but don't look as peaked.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish manages to prop one eye open at Del's approach.  Del thass sum nicesh schtuff ya put in tha lic ... uh lack.... uh wishkey.
