Slim comes in from milching the cow and gathering eggs. "Good plastering job, Del. The FFg might not know what Trinity did. I really didn't want ta see Trinity's hide above the mantle." 

[Trinity]

Trinity walks into the house, dragging his hammock behind him and shivvers.  It didn't take long to get free since the FFG had blown up Trinity's bunkhouse and all that remains is a soot spot and a sign now tied to the back of Trinity's horse.  Trinity thinks that Delmonico must have had a few sips of the recipe to think that he had hung Trinity anywhere.  He walks into the parlour and looks at the wallpaper on the ceiling.   

"Dail, whar didja put tha ladder?"

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish walks in and notices that the plaster has sild off the wall and left an oily stain behind.  Del what did you mix with the plaster it aint holdin!

[Delmonico]

"That does it, I hiring a professional.  I'm going to town and get the barber, he also plasters walls and wall papers."

<Authors note In Evertt Dick's book The Sod House Frontier he talks about folks with more than one job because of low population density not being able to support someone full time.  He also quotes and early visitor to the area having to wait till evening for the barber to get back to town to shave him.  He was out platering a wall.  Evert Dick was Professor of Histor at Union Collage in Lincoln in the 30-50's and wrote several books on the history of the area.  The present Administration Building is named after him.>

<Nuther Authors Note:  Did you care about the other note, too bad!  I just need to remind the readers from time to time that this is a Historical fiction.  Perhaps we can have it turn into a TV Mini Series like Lonesome Dove or Centenial. >

<-Arthur's Note:  Del ya mean it's called the D--k Administration Building?->

Thinks after hearing gophergreases's comments, Mexico sounds great.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets back from town with the barber who is going to plaster the parlor, before the FFg returns and floggs Trinity.  While he does that, Delmonico makes another order with his coal oil computor.

After getting  a haircut, I let a pack mule from the livery, and haul my purchases back to my secret coldwar cave. Where they will be safe from Trinty, Slim and Lucky Irish Tom, whom we all know would be ransacking the parcels before Christmas After unsaddling and curring the mule and Pea Eye  off, I feed them and givem some hay. Then filling their water buckets. I sit down and fall off to sleep.

[Trinity]

While litl rooster snores, Trinity, Slim and Lucky Irish Tom slip by and into the cave.
 

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish Tom has dressed up like Santy, in case litl rooster wakes up, cept he could'n find no red felt so he used green instead.  Irish tells Trinity I'll jest tell im I'm O'Claus from the County Cork side of the Kringle family!
