[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish wanders upstairs to see the puppies and finds a rather fragrant Trinity tied to the bed post.  Thinking it must have been leprechauns Irish cuts Trinity loose and then sets out in search of the Pot O Gold!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim goes to the kitchen to start coffee and breakfast.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico walks to "Hell on Wheels" to find out who's playin' tonite and get him and Trinity tickets.

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

Brazos being too old to enjoy that strain of music , folllows Slim to the kitchen.  "What you figure to cook up fer breakfast there Slim?  Bacon, Eggs, some ham?"

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim pulls his head outta the icebox. "Looks like bacon and eggs. Stoney's gonna have ta butcher and smoke a pig or two so we can have ham." Slim adds wood to the cookstove and starts cooking breakfast. He puts on a fresh put of coffee.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes back with a smile and two tickets in his hand.  "Jerry Jeff wlker and the Lost gonzo Band are playin' tonite, I got me and Trinity tickets."

The Track from the crater to the river is done as far as Hell on Wheels, I can even be the desinated driver.   I'll get the steam shovel set up on the tracks."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"How does one get a steam shovel setup on the tracks? Ya have ta assemble it on the tracks?" Slim is finally finished makin' breakfast. "Breakfast is ready!", he yells but not loud enough fer the workers outside to hear him. He fills his plate, a cup of coffee, and takes a seat on the porch to watch the goin-ons.

[Delmonico]

Yep, they already got it done.   Me and Trinity gonna do the town tonite.

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

Brazos fills a plate and joins Slim on the porch.  He sees Del putin' the finishing touchs on the steam shovel and remarks to Slim, "That Del is a mighty interprising fellow.  Hope he does make Trinity take a bath or it might be a mighty short show!"

And, I guess I'd be more concerned iffin' he allows Trinity to take a jug and then gets his hands on the controls of that shovel.  That town might indeed be a ghost town by mornin'!

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish gets a cup of coffee and joins Slim and Brazos on the porch, "Did I here you say that Del's gona let Trinity drive the steam shovel?"

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and Trinity head to the steam shovel headed to Hell on Wheels and the Jerry Jeff Walker concert.   The steam shovel is up to full steam and Trinity is in a strait jacket to prevent touchin' of levers.

[litl rooster]

  Straight jacket or not I see a watch this! coming.....litl' rooster paints a tunnel on a nearby hill and pulls the tracks to appear to be entering the tunnel....> seen this on the "road runner"cartoon < It should be funny and that'll teach them fer not taking me to see Jerry Jeff

[Delmonico]

Delmonico, Trinity and the steam shovel go inside the tunnel and out the other side.   The Wile E. litl rooster is confused and ride Peaeye right at the tunnel endin' up in a really bad cowboy type wreck. (Delmonico also watched the Road Runner )

When they arrive in Hell on Wheels, they get out, Delmonico lets Trinity out of the strait jacket (yes they were invented in the early part of the 19th century)  He also banks the fire and locks the doors. 

As they head down the street they can hear.....................

M is fer the Mudflaps ya gave me fer my pickup,
Oil is fer the oil I put on my hair,
T is fer T-Bird,
H is fer Haggard
E is fer eggs and
R is fer Redneck.......................

[Delmonico]

By the time it is about over Delmonico has lost Trinity, the band comes out for one more encore:

This song it was written down
In a pea green windowless room
Four o'clock and the TV's dead
Wired up with nothin' to do
I drunk all my whiskey I smoked all my beer
I'm already gone I just got here
An old hairy ass hillbilly
Still up and hangin' on

Made me think of a similar time
In the Tropicannibal motel
Takin' showers 'bout every hour
'Cause I wasn't really feelin' well
Well in walked the Alabama Leanin' Man
His ol' buddy Billy Swann
Two old hairy ass hillbillies
Still up and hangin' on


Takes a friend to make you laugh
A slap on the back someone who knows
Right where you're at
A friend in town who just heard you're around
Came by see how you're gettin' along

Most people go out to clubs
Just to see an electric dildo
A human jutebox who loves to play
Every single song they know
But they don't care if you blow your soul
They usually stand up and tell you so
And leave that hairy ass hillbilly
Still up and hangin' on

So wherever you may be tonight
I wish you luck
You may be with a friend of yours
And may your friend be your lady love
But if you gotta go and do a show
And afterwards you got no where to go
You're just a hairy ass hillbilly
Still up and hangin' on

Takes a friend to make you laugh
A slap on the back someone who knows
Right where you're at
A friend in town who just heard you're around
Came by see how you're gettin' along

As the band leaves, Trinity is no where in sight, Delmonico figgers he can find his way the 150 yards home, he goes back unlocks the steam shovel, gets up a head of steam and heads home.  Upon exitin' the tunnel he picks up the wreck on the other side in the shovel.  Seein' that litl rooster and Peaeye are alive, Delmonico laughs at them.

[litl rooster]

authors note>>>litl rooster has early morning spit take....?what ever happened to the forementioned Billy Swan,"I can help"?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

With a startled look, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother stops watching the goings on, pulls her wand, waves it and is simply... gone, leaving behind a scattering of glittering sawdust.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I sure hope the temporary rail town didn't upset her!

[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster can still hear some of the lyrics in his head that wafted over the prairie last evening from the Jerry Jeff Walker concert:

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother.
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four, drinkin' in a honky tonk.
"What's he doin' down there?"
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

[Delmonico]

"He drives a 57 GMC Pickup Truck, "Goat Ropers Need Love Too" bumper sticker.

<Well if'n he plays again we'll all have to go. >

Delmonico sits on the porch, eatin anchovie pizza fer breakfast, watchin' the rails go down and wonderin' what happened to Trinity.

[litl rooster]

Pea Eye nips the errant cowboy (un concisece from the wreck) on the hinny. He slowly awakens with a goose egg on his forehead, feeling the soreness and the dried blooded, litl' rooster ask if Pea Eye ifn' we run into one of those Dalton Brothers. Pea Eye turns his hind end to the stumpling cowboy and lifts a foot in warning, then strikes his feed box with a forefoot. Knowing the Bay horse like knowing the Sandhill's, I go for his bucket of oats.. He's hungry and mad for something I done but ,I am not sure what that might be. Just feed him and leave him alone
