Slim pokes his head out the door

[Trinity]

ZZZT - KABOOOOOOM

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark turn to Del and says  did you hear something

[Trinity]

Ozark has to speak loudly because the windows and all the dishes are still rattling.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark is hard of hearing anyway,  was never very good at starting the fire under the still.

[Sod Buster]

"Who?"

<<author's note to those new here.....Trinity & Sod Buster have never been formally introduced.  Trinity still refers to him as the 'stranger'>>

[Sod Buster]

ZZZT - KABOOOOOOM

Over at his Soddy...Sod Buster wonders if the steel poles he is using for the pole beans is such a good idea........

[Delmonico]

Delmonico looks out the window at the snow and says, "hot damn, I love thunder snow."

[Trinity]

Over at his Soddy...Sod Buster wonders if the steel poles he is using for the pole beans is such a good idea........

ZZZZZZZZT - KABOOOOOOOOOOM

Suddenly, the entire pole bean crop is ablaze.  Back at the ranch, Trinity looks out the window.  He doesn't quite know why, but he feels as if something very good has happened.

[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster is joyfull that it is winter and there ain't no beans now - just some dead bean stalk.

[Delmonico]

Slim comes inta the kitchen with his tongue blackened and says, "maath  waadd thaaaas maathassssss."     Delmonico looks at him and says, "I done tolt ya that wire in yer tongue was a bad idea."

[Ozark Tracker]

with his tounge black and hurting, Trinity talks Slim into a notion of letting him scrape his tounge with his knife.  make it heal faster, Trinity tells hijm.

[Delmonico]

But when Trinity really gets out the knife, the shock wears off and Slim goes out the door screamin' into the snow.

[Ozark Tracker]

least wise we think he was screaming,  he's still sounds kinda funny.

[Trinity]

Slim runs unto the steam traction engine and gets his tongue ... or what's left of it ... stuck to the side.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark looks out and see's Slim, hollers at Trinity to bring yer knife, we might havta trim Slims tounge a might.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico says, "it's late, lets fix it in the mornin'."  He then shuts out the lights.

[Ozark Tracker]

kinda hate leaving Slim out there all night, but I guess that will keep his tounge from hurting, it'll be numb from being froze to the tractor.

[Trinity]

Sometime during the night, Slim fell asleep and toppled over onto the ground... with his tongue still frozen to the steam traction engine.

[Ozark Tracker]

as the sun comes up the boys at the ranch look at the winder, there lays Slim with his tounge stuck,  they all agree that the best thing they could do is to give him a tounge trim. Trinity dips his knife blade into disenfectant (his reciepe)
