Delmonico and the hired man head back to shore after Delmonico harpoons something in the river and ties it to the back of the SS Cottonwood.   

<Fergot to tell you I named it.>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and the hired man/able bodied seaman land the SS Cottonwood and the go to the barn and hitch a team of mules. 

They use these to drag the largest albino channel catfish ever seen to shore.

<What did you expect a white whale?   Do I look like a Capt. Ahab? >

There does seem to be a slight family resemblance!?   

[Trinity]

After passing out several times, Trinity finally finishes his masterpiece of construction.

Trinity stands back and admires his work.  He is very proud.  He only busted eight of his fingers in building it and could count fifteen splinters (two of which are now festering), a major accomplishment!  To make things better, he really got a real bargain on the wood.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico give the hired man a promotion to Chief Petty Officer in celabration of cathing the large albinot catfish.  The start cuttin' it up into albino catfish steaks. <The other White Meat. >

As the work they notice Trinity's buckhouse.  The put cotton in their ears so the clank when the FFg whop's him with her skillet won't damage their hearin'.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother steps out on the porch. Directly in front of her, blocking her view of anything else, is Trinity's newest accomplishment. Though her eyes narrow, she doesn't say a word.

Her hand drifts to her sleeve and she slowly, methodically, draws her wand. Her lips move in unheard words as the wand traces an intricate pattern in front of her.

****POOF****

Trinity's "building" disappears, only to reappear far behind the house, almost out to the pig pens. The place where it was is now sprinkled with glittering sawdust.

Her wand and lips move again, and ALL of Trinity's belongings are seen floating from the window of his room, flying through the air, and landing neatly inside his "bunkhouse." Even his horse and silver gilded saddle are in there.

With a slight smile, she turns to look at a bohunk who is staring slack jawed at her.

"I think the bunkhouse should go over there, don't you?" She points to a cleared area to the right of main house. The bohunk gives a hard swallow and nods his agreement.

Her smile widens as she goes back to the house for her coffee.

after the dust settles and the wand is holstered the new bunk house reappears










coyote pup not included

[Trinity]

Seeing first the house that he'd so lovingly built be relegated to the back lot and then his stuff moved in, Trinity became upset.

He stamped his way out to the bunkhouse, spitting on the new one as he passed.  Claire, following him, stopped to relieve herself on the ersatz bunkhouse.  Trinity went back to his creation and retreived four jugs and a blanket... all of his belongings that the FFG had moved accross the yard... and stamped his way back to the big house and into his room.

"That other stuff were in mah room when Ah moved into it.  It's the FFG's fault, she's gonna have ta move it back!" He said to Claire who let out a silent but stern 'Woof' in agreement.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother hears stomping, grumbling and a woof as she is in the kitchen, but she finishes making her coffee and steps back out on the porch. There, instead of seeing the plains, her view is once again blocked, this time by another bunkhouse, albeit a better one than the first.

"Dagnabbit! You don't block a person's view! Bad guys or nasties could put the sneak on us and we'd never see them coming!"

This time, her wand whips out and slashes through the air.

The bunkhouse vanishes, then reappears in the exact spot she had earlier pointed out to the bohunk. Glittering sawdust falls all around her as she stows the wand and dusts off her hands.

"There. That's much better. And it is a lovely bohunkhouse."

[Trinity]

Having watched this through his window, Trinity slaps his hand to his forehead.  His building now lays crushed underneath the new bunkhouse. 

[litl rooster]

Time and material is the only way to bill this job

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Author's note: Trinity can relax. His bunkhouse was placed behind the mainhouse, out near the pig pens. The other, the NICE bunkhouse was placed to the right of the main house! So there!   )

[Capt. Hamp Cox]

Waking refreshed and feeling in full control of his senses (and having difficulty adjusting to that feeling), Capt. Hamp finally finds his badge, bullet, and his other meager possessions and stuffs them in his saddlebags, swims his horses across the Dismal, and heads north, back to Texas, taking the scenic route.  With a tear in his eye, he knows he'll always remember the kindness of Miss Annie (discounting the hat hissies), the cooking of Del and Gopher, the education in building techniques provided by Litl Rooster and Trinity, and that kind of "different", ever-changing Mr. Thumbs.  Those in the big house and bunkhouse waken to a shouted "Hasta luego, Amigos".   Giving the spurs to his horse, he starts the long  journey home, dreaming of mesquite smoke and pit cooked cow's head.     

[Delmonico]

Delmonico hollors that dinner is reaty, large catfish streaks.

He is said to see the strange fellar leave, he was wishin' he would have burnt the pile of weeds out behind the barn, before leavin' to burn weeds in Texas.

But Delmonico knows that folks who get "Mad Cow Disease" are seldom rational.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Hearing the call, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother runs down from the cupola to the porch.

"Dang, he just got here!"

She yells after the man:
"Come back anytime, we'll have room for you!"

She waves a sad farewell, then stands there, sniffling. She liked the good looking, debonair, and charming man.

[Trinity]

Trinity watches the FFG swoon over the man and shakes his head.


...then wonders: "Why's he leavin' anyway?"

[litl rooster]

...then wonders: "Why's he leavin' anyway?"

litl rooster wonders who he really is?   and yells back to thew Capt/Major "Viya con Dios"

[Scattered Thumbs]

During the night the image on the wall fades away and disappear.

But a coughing sound can still be heard. 

[Delmonico]

That was Ma-skeet-man, is a good thing he left a-fore he went to cutting off and cookin' the heads of our cattle.

But he must go back to Texas, if''n yer gone for more than a week, the Ma-skeet e'll take over yer pasture, the only defense is to BBQ.
