<Authors Note:  BTW watch out when feedin' a corn sheller, have met many an old farmer in my younger days that was missin' the first joint of their ring finger, includin' both of my Grandpa's.>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets two 1X2's and cuts matchin' half circles in each.  He mounts one solid with the hole up and one movable with the the hole down and just behind the track.

Delmonico then mounts the blade in the track with a trip rope.  He then heads to the Dismal River and gathers up a handful of willow twigs.

<Arthur's note: My Pa is missing the first joint of his index finger.>

[Delmonico]

< Authors Note:Was it a corn sheller?  My Mom is missing that finger, but it was a machine in a candy factory.>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes back from the river with his willow twigs.  He weaves them into a basket and sets it on the ground to catch the chicken heads from his Chicken Gilly-teen.

I didn't know milch  was a verb.  But it is in Engrish - why not Germerman, too?

Slim, you got any of those brown cows that give chocolocolate milch? 

<<Arthurs note:  Milch is a noun, melken is a verb.  >>

A shucker looks like this: ...
A hand husker looks like this:


or how about a belt-driven model? ...

"Oncet knowed a gurl what hadta wear one of them thangs if'n she were 'llowed ta see me!"



<<Arthurs note:  In Del's world, a corn husker is the one on the right : 

[Trinity]

the author is REAL GLAD he did not have coffee in his mouth when he read this.  Otherwise there'd be more than spittle on his confuser screen.

Upon hearing Trinity's name suggestion, Stoney says, "I'll drink to that."   Grabbing his knife he heads to the pig pen.  An hour later there's one less pig in the pen and Pete has pork and bacon in the smoke house.  "There gotta be something around here for us eat that smells good and resembles real meat."

"Yes!!!  Thankee Stoney!  Ah were gettin' tard of that there strange celestial cookin'!"

[Delmonico]

As dusk falls on The Ranch with No Name, Delmonico goes to the kitchen to fix supper.  Being tired of chicken and Chinese food, Delmonico fixes just plain sourdough biscuits and sausage gravy.   

As he's gettin' supper on the table he gets another chill in his spine.  He goes to the Wedgewood room and gets his Pee Shooter and gets the sheepherder as he's peekin' in the window again.

<Authors note: I have items 3 and 4.  #4 I have two of them, remember we are the Cornhusker State.  Disclaimer, t'ain't got nuthin' to do with the hired help at the Looney-versity that play foots-ball.  Last I knew the world champion Cornhuskin' Comp-o-tit-ion was held in Newbrasky.  Sodbuster ya fergot the wagon with a bang board. >

Sod Buster knows we are in the Cornhusker state but if you are gonna send over Slim to do the shuckin' I wanna make sure he has the right tools!   

Yup..forgot the wagon.  Slim kin bring dat too! 

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark walks through the kitchen toward the back door, seeing Del cooking, he asks what is he going to do with the leftover chicken.  Del gives it to Ozark for his Hunting tigers he keeps out beside the barn.  Ozark asks Del if everybody is inside, he says oh yeah nobdy important out there,  Ozark whistle's for the Tigers and they come running,  You know Del the only thing they like better than chicken is sheep.

[Trinity]

The horrible sound of death and carnage wakes Trinity. 

*Sniff* *Sniff*  Ignoring the growling and bleating from outside, Trinity calls out: "Is that biscuits 'n' gravy Ah smail??!??"

[Stoney Pete]

Witnessing the carnage of the tigers tearing up the sheep made Stoney hungry.  The smell of the buscuits sealed the deal.  He heads to kitchen with 10 lbs. of chops fresh from the smoke house.

"These ought to go nice with them buscuits."

[Wymore Wrangler]

Del, you can never have enough Chinaman food, and Stoney, I've got some spuds in my saddle bags, I'll go to peeling them for some mashed potatoes....  Del can go milk the cow for some milk, do you think we have to remind him, again, not to milk the bull...
