[Delmonico]

A wagon shows up at The Ranch With No Name, Delmonico is expextin' them, it is the crew from the Steam Traction Engine Company come to do a tune up on Delmonico's Steam Traction Engine.

Soon they are busy at work.

[Ozark Tracker]

as the work gets started on the steam tractor, new and updated improvements are add to the old workhorse

[Forty Rod]

Like what, a JATO pack?

put that on there and he'd really have a big iron bird

[Delmonico]

When the crew is done, the Steam Traction Engine has been chopped and channeled and a rocket added to the back.   When it is fired up, blue flames come out of the stack and as Delmonico is off to help Slim catch the rampagin' eller-funk he has Trinity light the rocket engine.

[Trinity]

With wonderment, Trinity stares at the strange contraption.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico waits im-pay-cent=lee for Trinity to light the rocket.

[Trinity]

Trinity stands still and stares with a slack jaw.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico decides that he's waited long enough for Trinity, so he gets down and lights the rocket fuse himself.    Before he can get back on, the rocket ingnites and The New Improved Chopped and Channled Steam Traction Engine (to be known as TNICCSTE )  starts movin'.     Delmonico runs to catch it, but it is movin' to fast.  Delmonico watches as it takes of to the North-East.

(Will the rocket have enough power to leave the Newbrassky thread or will it run out of power first?  Will a rampagin'  TNICCSTE be worse than the eller-funk it was meant to help catch?  Stayed tuned right here and be sure to watch the other threads in Tall Tales. )

[Trinity]

"Hey, that thang is headed t'wards Silver Crick Sleeum Coun'y!"

[Delmonico]

<Authors Note:  Don't know fer sur, most likely, but who knows how much fuel this ACME Rocket contains.  With no one to steer it who knows what thread is safe. >

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and Trinity watch as the TNICCSTE gets smaller and smaller in the distance till suddenly it's gone, it's out of the thread and is heading almost straight east.   Delmonico gets his compass and Tall Tales map and does some figgering.   "It's headed right for little roosterville."

[Trinity]

'Pendin' on how much power that thang has, it might could poop out an' take out tha Sodbuster Township!  Or... it could jus' land in no person's land. "

[Forty Rod]

"Tomahawk leader, this is Tomahawk four.  Did you see that, Skipper? Over."

"Tomahawk four, this is Tomahawk leader.  See what, Jonesy? Over."

Tomahawk leader, this is Tomahawk four.  That's what I thought too, boss. Me neither. Out."

[Trinity]

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck. You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon?
Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon.
Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

[Lucky Irish Tom]

The heat from the rocket engine warps the aerodynamics of the TNICCSTE and it begins to make a large arc entering and exiting the threads and no-person land.

[Delmonico]

<Author's Note:  To late Tom, check out Silver Creek Slim County,  Or what's left of it.>

I been giving it some thought Trinity,  if'n we can pick up another one of those fire cracker packs, I figure we can strap it to the that silo out there and travel to the stars

Now we just need us a driver

Mebbe the Sky Pilot would like a ride?

[Trinity]

"Naw.  Not after that tirade of cussin'.  He's gotta clean up his act an' ask fer reee-demption fust.  Who is tha person climbin' in?  Mebbe thar's yer driver.?."
