[Sod Buster]

Sod Buster, you going to learn to use them?

They won't be happy unless they are fulfilling the purpose that they were cast for.  They need to be used. This will make the cast iron happy. 

<Sod Buster believes that all things need to fulfill their purpose in life - even if their life is an inanimate object>

  Brushing the frost off the Bay horse, litl' rooster saddles up and heads off in the early dawn. Hopefully by time he reaches the "soddy" the Biscuits will be ready

Sod Buster grabbs some of the FFG's cast iron and prepares breakfast: Two eggs, a buttermilk biscuit smothered in sausage gravy and a ham steak.
He also gets a few extra "minerals" in his food since the sod ceiling is constanly falling into the griddle.  There is extra if anyone stops by...as long as they don't mind "dirty eggs". 

[Trinity]

the Ozark Tracker rumbles into the yard having driven from Arkansas on the overhauled  Newbrassky Steam Driven Machine,  everyone gathers around and looks it over, leaving behind Trintys jug, Slims mighty 10, litl rooster's spurs and three sticks of da sheep's dynamite with the fuse still attached. and the respected kabong.

What color you thnk that thing ottobe? Ozark asks the fellars give me some ideas what else it needs?

<<The traction engine ought to be purple like Del's kerchief.  >>

I thought about putting the torch to it and see if it would looks kinda case hardened but I don't know if it would  but I do like the kind of rusty look.  It  probally would look just that way if was in use around the ranch with no name

(back to the story);

Del comes out in the yard and tells Trinty to build a fire in the steamer, he might want to take it for a test run.

<<I just don't think it would be rusty, knowing Del... well, now that I think of that old car of his with the missing bumper, maybe you're right.   ....OK Del, not missing, just unattached.  >>



Del's bellow about building a fire awakens Trinity who is alseep on the porch surrounded by little pieces of yarn.  Realizing that he must have fallen asleep during the efforts to free litl rooster, Irish and himself from the knitting supplies he gets up and stretches.  Just then he sees little rooster riding off in the direction of the Soddy.  Knowing that either there is going to be some eating and/or drinking going on, Trinity runs off after him.

[Delmonico]

<Note, the rusty Olds is now in Gopher Grease's possion, he has decided to tune it up and drive it for a while rather than sacrifice it to the Demo Derby Gods. >

Delmonico builds a wood fire in the steam roller, switching to coal when it gets going.  As it's warmin' he starts some pinto beans boiling.  We're havin' burrito's fer supper, now that Delmonico has a new tortilla press.

[Ozark Tracker]

The Ozark Tracker gets a ride with Del on the steamer,  while in town, Ozark thinks of a good item to add to the tractor, since Del likes to cook so much he buys a cast iron wood fired stove complete with oven and adds it to the back of the steamer, after adding a stove pipe,  now Del can cook and bake on the move.

(Off topic)

Thanks to a tip from Lucky Irish Tom, litl rooster I got the jingle bobs on the spurs, guess we'll have to add the shamrock for luck to the machine.

back on topic

[Trinity]

<<Looking mighty fine!>>

Eating over at the soddy, Trinity finds stranges peaces of greenery in his food to which he shrug of and eats with the rest of the feast.

After a fine feast at the the Soddy, Sod Buster and self tye Trinity to his saddle..Thanks Sod Buster had a good time remininnicennnnnnn Pards in the Piedmont country, litl' rooster legs up and grabs a rein of Trinity's horse. Up the trail along the Dismall I hear the sound of a pair of Jingle bobs,<authors note> I lost one last week an only wear one rowel and jingles now... However this sound is not coming from a horse. Not sure I had ever seen such a site. A steam contraption with 2 stacks bellarn' smoke.  Attemps to awake Trinity are a failure and i don't want folks thinkin' I have lost my mine. From chasing the sheephearder. So I reach over take the jug and get a pull....Can always blame the squezzins

[Trinity]

Upon hearing the "Thock" sound of the cork, Trinity perks up and says: "Yesh pleash"

<<I like the machine and all the little memorabilia.  Good job.>>

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Upon hearing the cork pop out of a jug, and through the magic of animation <-Author's Note: We are toons after all -> Irish suddenly appears next to litl rooster's horse.  "Faith and Begorrah Brother Rooster it's wee bit parched I am, might a body have a wee draught of that lifesaving elixer you hold"?

[Stoney Pete]

"Tom, you sound funny.  Better let me drink outta the jug first.  I don' want to be ketchin' what ever it is you got."

<<can't we at least get past the ides of march before we should worry about the Begorrahs>>

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim rides from the northeast and sees a new traction engine bullowing smoke. "Del must have a new toy."

<Arthur's note: Great steam engine and accoutrements, Ozark Tracker!>

Does this mean the frijollies is done cookin'?

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets out his large soapstone griddle and starts cookin' tortillas.  He fills each 15" tortilla with refrijoles, sour cream and grated cheese and a dap of his famous pepper sauce.   

The one fer Slim he douses it on cause he knows Slim is a big fan of it.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim rides over ta see what all the commotion is about. As he gets closer, he sees a cookstove attached ta the back of the traction engine and Del is cookin' on it. "Wheredidja get the new traction engine, Del? Whatcha cookin'?"
