Confused as to what Delmonico is up to,

Slim looks around the ranch site to see what else he can see. Besides the Jolly Roger on the pole the onluy other thin' unusual is a large board with on end fastened down on the bank and the other end hangin' out over the Dismal river.

In fact this board is large enough that many would call it a plank.

Will Slim be able to sleep tonite? Or will he be kept awake all night tryin' to figger out what is goin' on?

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother fizzles in with a scattering of sawdust, then takes a look at that "plank."

"Well, considering Delmonico, that might very well be the poop deck."

With a grin on both their faces Delmonico and the yallar dog Duke go inta the dugout where Delmonico spreads out his soogun. The yallar dog curls up at his feet as Slim and the Frumpy Fairy Godmother sit around the campfire and wonder what he could be up this time.

Not bein' able to figger out what Delmonico is up to the Fairy Godmother leaves with her wand that has been repaired with rawhide. Slim does not even notice the sprinkle of sawdust that settles in his beard, cause he is a sleep, sitin' up by the now diein' fire. Slim bein' asleep does not also notice the drool slidin' inta his beard, a common thin' ta happen to those who fall asleep sittin up.

If he would have not been asleep he would have noticed a shadowy figure leave the dug out in the dim light of the almost dead campfire and walk out on to the plank. If he had been watchin' he would have seen the dark figue lift his full lenth flannel night shirt and would have hear a tricklein' sound for a short bit before the figure drops the nightshirt and slipped back inta the dugout.

They call it "New Moon"

The full moon was on Friday night.

As Slim rides back to the ranch fer dinner (noon meal

) he notices Delmonico cookin'. Coverin' his whole head is a silk bandanna, no shirt, pants held up by a hemp rope and no boots, just bare feet. In his hand is a Chef's knife almost as large as a sword. There is even a patch over his left eye.

On the table is a big pile of hardtack, near the dugout is an old wooden chest and a hole dug in the ground.

"Del, ya turn into a pirate or something?"

No, why do you ask such a silly question?

"Cuz of the Jolly Roger, the "divin" board, the hanky-head, eye patch, the long knife, etc. It just looks like you'z a marooned pirate."

I bought the flag in a shop in Maxwell cheap after Halloween, thought puttin' it up on a pole would help you find yer way to the range easier since ya get lost so easy. The bandanna I always wear cookin' surprised ya never noticed. All my clothes but this extra pair of pants I washed this mornin' cause I don't get them washed fallin' in the river like you do. Includin' my socks, I don't want to wear my boots with out socks.

The knife is now one of my trademarks, paid $3 at a garage sale for it. I got an ember in my eye this mornin' and the light hurts it so I'm restin' it.

I put that board out over my best fishin' hole, I use it to hold my trot lines, we're havin' catfish fer dinner ya know.

I can't belive you thought I was becomin' a pirate. Would have to wait till the 1970's fer someone to attack on this river. Sides that what would yuppies in canoes have that I could want, 'FREEZE DRIED ICE CREAM?"

Slim you worry to much!

"How duz ya not get burrs in yer feet walk'n 'round bare foot?"

Delmonico · « **Reply #593 on:** November 30, 2004, 02:35:01 PM »

I never set up a cook camp in a sand burr patch.

Well if my present attire makes you that nervous, I'll just go inta the dugout and find sumthin' ta change into.

Silver Creek Slim · « **Reply #596 on:** December 01, 2004, 08:53:46 AM »

"A saloon dress?"

Delmonico · « **Reply #597 on:** December 01, 2004, 01:05:13 PM »

With that Delmonico comes out of the dugout wearin' a long sleeved, old timey, striped wool bathin, suit and hands one ta Slim. Go in there and change, I'll let ya be the first dive off the board, just to show you I ain't as mean as the folks who are follin' this story think I am.

Silver Creek Slim · « **Reply #598 on:** December 01, 2004, 03:07:03 PM »

"Yain't gonna get me in one of those thangs!"

Delmonico · « **Reply #599 on:** December 01, 2004, 06:15:16 PM »

Ok Slim if'n you want to skinny dip

:othat's fine but the first jump is still yours if you want it.
