"Bird Thang, eat this here corn an' go ta Sod Buster's field what he let lay fallow this year.  Extry squeezin's this year!!"

Trinity pulls out his pocket knife and starts working on another bush and faces it right at the door to startle Delmonico when he comes out in the morning.

[Trinity]

Sheep is not dead.  He's over at Trinity's still site number 11 drinking.  Several sheep, however, are dead.  Pretty soon, Trinity is going to have to skin them and replace the shearling house covering that he installed a few months ago.  Shearling makes a warm insulator for humans, but isn't that great for houses that sit in out the elements day in and day out...   Everybody is complaining about the smell of the rotting skins.

[Sod Buster]

Delmonico goes to the shop and gets his new invention, it attaches to the steam traction engine which is fired up and ready.  After several hours driving he reaches Sod Busters place and put in the PTO clutch and sprays his corn crop, killin' the Neemi-toads.  As he heads back he runs over several sheep, alas even when dried in the sun, no one will want to toss them, like the F.R.I.S.B.E.E.  (Flattened Racoon In Sun Become's Exciting Entertainment)

Sod Buster sends a note of thanks to Del for dispatching those pesky Nemitoads...even though they were only a figment of the Sheepherders imagination.  Sod Buster picks up one of the sheep carcasses and takes it to the Nebraska wolves (coyotes) to give them the scent of what they need to be hunting.  After the momma wolf gets the scent, she trots off with the pups in tow....towards the sheep <spit>.

Ozark sets up a snare and catches the strange chicken by the leg,  I figured you was getting tired since that thang's been a chasing ya since about 9:30 this morning. we done lost count of the times ya been around the house, we can't count that high.

"Thanks, Ozark. I was gittin' kinda tired." 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out on the porch, sees Trinity's "Artwork" and goes and gets The Steam Traction Engine fired up for the job at hand.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark comes around the corner of the barn as Del fires up the boiler,  lo and behold there in the distance, (about where still # 11 is located) the strangest site we've seen all day (at least up till now). Ozark and Del stand staring, Slim who's in the house comes out to see what there a looking at.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Uuuuuh aaaaaaaaaaah!" 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is just awed as he says, "Where in the sam heck did that mountian come from?"

[Ozark Tracker]

It's one of them optical illusions,   it's really one of them sand hills

[Delmonico]

Delmonico says, "It's a meee-rouge, well if it's hot enough for that kind of meee-rouge and with them funny lookin' clouds comin' in ya better take cover, it might storm."

[Delmonico]

<Author's Note: I just checked the radar for fun, yes there is a couple small but heavy thunderstorms right now as I type in the area of The Ranch With No Name.>

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark runs around the house before thinking of asking Del where the root cellar is,  I ain't been here in any storm season

[Trinity]

Trinity sheepishly walks up singed black and with steam still rising from the accident.  "Ah knew Ah shouldn'ta lit that ceegar with all them un-koked jugs aroun'!"

[Ozark Tracker]

we thought we was about to have one of them cyclones,  we got them back home in Arkansas, why they'll take yer still and all the jugs too.

[Trinity]

"If'n that happens, Ah'll lasso tha bugger an' brang 'im down!  "

[Delmonico]

Delmonico says, 'the cellar is under the house, go into the pantry and go down the stairs.  Also the oringial Ranch House the dugout where I keep the coal should be fine also."

[Trinity]

Frowning, Trinity sits and begins to braid himself a lasso.
