[Delmonico]

Gettin' back to the ranch, Delmonico gets his freight wagon and hitches the mules up to it.  Duke jumps up in the seat beside him and they go out tot the lack and start pickin' up splinters of wood, pieces of metal and leather.   

After several hours they can't find any more so the head back to the ranch.

[Delmonico]

After breakfast Delmonico and Duke head to the workshop with a bucket of glue to see if the buggy can be fixed.

[Trinity]

Trinity picks himself up from the yard at the Soddy and looks around.  When his vision finally clears he says to himself:  "Whew!  That Tiswin packs some kinda punch!"

"Now, jes what happened to that stranger?"

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark, out standing by the barn hears the sounds of a wagon rumbling up the road toward the ranch, as the wagon approaches the house it stops. a woman looks out and invites Ozark in.  after a spell Ozark emerges and starts toward the house.

Trinity, they's a couple of women in mis collinwoods  wagon asking about you,  It's kinda strange, One of em keeps a singing the same song over and over,

What's your daddy's name child, what's your daddy's name.

I told em I didn't know if'n you still lived here.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark walks back out to the shop to see how Del is coming along with the wagon fix.

after looking at the wagon Del has constructed, it is plain to see that Del has found the parts to more than just his wagon, he has brought home parts of several wagons.

and somehow put them together

"Them waggon ladies know how ta reach me, if'n they need me.    Ah know that sangin' girl what yer talkin' bout.  Somethin' jes ain' right wif that one!   Ah hope ya din' "visit" her, cuz Dail has a cure what you don' wanna hear about!!  Luckily, tha river is startin' ta warm up.  Ya might be a-standin' in it fer a whal"

It's done been a whal sincet Ah saw them waggon ladies las'.  Ah need ta make a lil' ol' trip ta visit.  "

[Ozark Tracker]

Give me a can of that potted meat what you got,  Del said that stuff would kill anything. 

Ozark runs to the bathroom and  starts eating the potted meat and spreading the rest of it all over his body

[Trinity]

"No wonder that sangin' girl lahked him.  He's strange!  "  Trinity yells: "Hey, Ozark!  If'n ya need more potted meat, Dail built a shaid outside outta potted meat cans that Ah give him.  Ah took a few cans out some tahm ago an' made a little winder.  Jes' make the winder bigger, Dail won' mahnd."

Laying in his hammock, Trinity begins to worry about litl rooster and the Stranger from the Soddy.  He tells Claire:  "They said they was gonna play wif black powder.  Ah hope they din't blow nothin' of theirs off... leastwise nothin' that they might want ta use again.    Reminds me of ol' cousin Stumpy.  He were the only 6¾ foot tall feller in tha mountains called stumpy, poor feller.  Won't no woman marry him neither "

[litl rooster]

litl' rooster returns to his bomb shelter, feeds and curries his trusted horse, Pea-eye.  After stowin' away some supplies,(powder, lead ingots and large brass casings)  he fills the bay horses water bucket and gives him hay.  Closing the entrance to the bomb shelter, he decides he should take a nap before he checks on the others at thee Ranch With No Name.

Lil Rooster didn't notice that Marshal n Da Sheep procieded Him, set the Plunger to da Dynomite to detonate when He closed the door.

Looks like the 4th of July.

[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster finally awakes from his Tiswin-Blackpowder induced comma and sees that his whole supply of Tiswin is gone..and his house has been ransacked.  There are jugs scattered everywhere,  He guesses both Trinity and Geronamo were there, drank thier fill, looked for more and left.  After cleaning up, he decided he needs a vacation before planting season starts.  Perhaps he might visit his cousin, the Faro dealer in the Nevada Territory soon.   Time for breakfast....corn muffins and maybe some corn flake breakfast pie! 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim rides in from the northeast. He remembers ta duck when he reaches the dooryard. He puts his horse in the barn, gathers eggs and milch, and takes them along with his "Mighty Ten" and saddles bags to the house.

<Arthur's note: Went to a gun show in FDL on Saturday, a fellar showed me a mule-ear British 10 ga with bright bores/no pitting. Beautiful! He figgered I was in CAS 'cuz the way I was dressed. No I don't wear dresses!  >

[Trinity]

<<Arthur's note:  Shoulda showed him tha video >>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico steps back and looks at his buggy that has become a wagon, "Not bad, them white feathers add sumthin'. "

[Trinity]

"If'n them feathers was pank, it'd look lahk Mrs. Collingwood's!"

[Delmonico]

<Authors Note: Pink Flamingeeeooos ain't common around Sandhills Lakes.>

[Trinity]

"Them's feathers colored wif a dash of Big Lotta's face paint"

[Trinity]

Trinity goes back into the workshop.  It appears that litl rooster brought some more sheep to be processed.  Running out of ideas, Trinity makes wall coverings for the House and the Bohunk House as well as the bunkhouse which he built even though it is still uninhabited. 

With the last pile of pelts, he makes a cover for Del's steam traction engine. 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico has another idea, he grabs several hunks of cedar wood off the wood pile, grabs a can of pink paint and some small iron rods and heads to the work shop and starts carvin'.

[Delmonico]

When the pink flamingos are dryin, Delmonico moves the wagon out north of the house.  He takes off the wheels and skirts the sides with corrigated tin.   He then puts the pink flamingos out front of it.
