[Delmonico]

Slim shows up in his Poodle Skirt, but Delmonico don't have to see it cause he's made it to Omaha and checks into a hotel.  In the mornin' he'll go shoppin'.

[Trinity]

Trinity looks over at Slim from the hammock and chuckles.  "Ah would he'p ya wif dem beeves, but sin' ya got enough helpers, Ah'll jes stay here an' watch tha place, OK?  <<SNARRRRX>>"

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark checks his saddle bags, let's see one bottle for snake bite, one for colds and another for just taking the dust outa the throat.  a extra box of shells, whet rock. couple extra kerchiefs,

gonna havta remind the boys to grab a bucket when we go to cutting the bulls,  we gonna have a feast after that.  good ole mountain osyters.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico goes to a nice resteraunt and orders a butter basted 24 oz Porterhouse.  Gets a lettuce salad, and new peas and 'tators on the side.  When he's done with that he gets a large wdge of gooseberry pie with a scoop a 'niller ice cream.

[Trinity]

Playing on Delmonico's coil oil computer while he's in Dunning, Trinity suddenly gasps loudly.  He shouts out for anybody to hear: "Oh boy!  Loooky what Ah done found!"

Trinity looks at all the pictures and drools on the keyboard.

Looky

[Ozark Tracker]

now who woulda thunk they had a museam for potted meat,  reckon they give out samples if you go an visit.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is sleepin' in his hotel room, when suddenly he awakes screamin'.   Fully awake he realizes it was just a nightmare, he goes back to sleep sayin' to himself, "There is no Potted Meat museum, the world can't be that strange."

[Stoney Pete]

Ozark checks his saddle bags, let's see one bottle for snake bite, one for colds and another for just taking the dust outa the throat.  a extra box of shells, whet rock. couple extra kerchiefs,

Followin' OT example, Stoney aquires a couple jugs from Trinity for "medicinal purposes" and a couple jugs for a sleep aide.

"Slim, since you will probably be takin' the "mighty 10", I'll leave my sxs behind and take the Sharps.  Might be I could get us some meat along the way without havin' to cut into the profits."

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish hitches up the Percheron's to the wagon and loads supplies fer tha cattle drive, er walk, to Dunning.  He ties his cutting horse to the tailgate and pulls the wagon into the yard to wait on the others.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim looks at his clothes. "Oops.  Grabbed the wrong clothes. I got ta git rid of all those badly shorn sheep skirts and sweaters.  " He goes back to his room and changes into his roundup clothes. He comes outta the house with warbags and "Mighty Ten". He climbs in the saddle. "Let's move out boys." He rides toward the herd.

[Delmonico]

<Author's Note: Slim's "Roundup" clothes start to kill the grass and weeds everywhere he goes.>

<Nuther Note: My 'polagies to Monsanto.>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico heads for the wholesale grocery stores down by the river and railroad.  He buys cases of canned  millk, seafood, 'maters and most of the other fruits and veggies, 'cept corn, no use eatin' somethin' that looks the same when it comes out as when it goes in.

He arranges them to be shipped to Dunning.  He also orders a bunch of lumber shipped out.    He also orders bolts of fabric and sewin' notions.   Fact is he orders enough goods to stock a small store.

[Stoney Pete]

As they head for the herd, Stoney takes a pull from one of the jugs he "aquired" from Trinity for medicinal purposes.  "An ounce of prevention.  Yep, that's what I call it."

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark sees Stoney siping on a jug and decides he might outa get him a short swig just for the germs and bacteria in the air.  he tucks the bottle back into the saddle bags and gives Dynamite his mule a little nudge, and tells him let's go move some beeves.

(authors note: the picture is of my grandad on his mule Dynamite around 1910)

[Delmonico]

Delmonico heads to the Omaha Post Office next, when he arrives there he conducts his bizzeness with the Post Master and leaves with a large package that he adds to his shipment to Dunning.

He then heads to a large gunshop and chooses about 25 firearms and plenty of common caliber ammunition.

He finds two very nice ones he adds to the bunch, a new to the market single shot rifle with a German Zeiss 10X scope.  He also buys 500 brass cases for it, a large stock of primers, 200 pounds of lead, two bullet moulds and two 25 pound kegs of English Curtis and Harvey Fg powder.

The other one is a 12 gauge double gun with no hammers.  He also adds two cases of a new brand of German ammo for the shotgun.

With the last of his purchases finished and added to his shipment, he heads to a fine resteraunt and has pot roast, and a fine hunk of lemon pie.

When he is finished he heads to his hotel, gathers his bag and checks out, he then gets on the afternoon train and heads to Lincoln.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico's train arrives at the CB&Q depot at 7th and P street. 

<Author's note: Check it out, that's where it is, or at least the last time I went by it.  Delmonico gets up, walks out to the street and climps on the hood of his pickup, yep it's still there.>

He takes his bag and goes up the hill to 9th and P and gets a hotel room.  (Humm, don't think it was a Holiday Inn back then like it is today)

<Author's Note, I live at about West 6th and West Q street, the problem, you have to go a whole block to P. (Oops, there went litl roosters computor screen again. >

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets settled in his room and them heads up-town fer supper.

[Ozark Tracker]

after a full day of rounding up cows & calves, sorting, cutting, &  branding, all the steers going to town are moved to the lower pasture and started on the trail to Dunning,

we gotta get em down the trail a bit, so they won't hear them momma cows bawling tonight, we'll proballyy have to have a couple of riders all night.  don't want any of em trying to go home.

[Trinity]

Trinity is busy guarding the house while a burgler slips in and steals Delmonico's entire cookbook collection and fills the ice box and cabinets with cheese food product.
