@Summerabbacat ohhhhh . . . . . harsh!!! LOL

Haha ... I remember it well. It was a hit, but I still thought it was shit! What year was it? 80's I think, maybe? There was some 'questi9able' performances through that era! lol

Errr ... no, I haven't tried it. Something that you mix with mins, I think, to make beef patties! It's kind of a running gag thought the show!

OK, first things first ... you really need to watch the show to truly appreciate Beth!!! She is the toughest, most potty-mouthed, rough-n-tumble princess you will ever come across. Take no shit from ANYONE ... and will kill for family! You have been warned! LOL Next... Jamie ... yes, he is deceased, but the only people who actually knows this are those involved with killing him (it WAS self defence!) and the person who helped clean up the mess. To the rest of the world, Attorney General Jamie Dutton is just "missing" ... apparently consumed by the grief surrounding the assassination of his father ... There, that'll have to do! LOL Rest assured, this story won't plunge into the same murky depths as the original ... but heaven help anyone who lays a finger on Beth's baby boy! 😁

Yes, watched it on Streaming ... and bought the DVD's of the whole series! And some of the spin-off series (so far). Yes, Evelyn was dead before the series started. Lee died right near the beginning of the series. There are lots of "flashbacks" with older dead characters appearing, which fills in the gaps. From memory Evelyn was killed in a horse riding accident and Beth felt guilty about it. There are also flashbacks with current characters (Rip, Beth and Jamie in particular) from when they were kids, largely about events from those times that help shape the current

Unless you were a real fan you probably wouldn't have heard too many other CDB songs. 'Still In Saigon' was probably their only other big hit on the pop charts...

It wasn't quite as good as the original. Just remembered another one from that era that I loved ... Burt Reynolds in "Stroker Ace" ... a played similar character to his Smokey character, except he was a race car driver who ran moonshine to make some real money. Based on a song of the same name by the Charlie Daniels Band.

Every Which Way also spawned a sequel ... Any Which Way You Can ... which I also loved! lol

The 'Merican Kayce is pronounced just like Casey

And later KC formed a band, called KC and the Sunshine Band and sang about an Afternoon Delight! Edit: Hmmmm ... apparently it was someone else who sang Afternoon Delight! But KC and the Sunshine Band did...

@Summerabbacat have to admit I loved all of those movies back in the day ... Smokey and the Bandit, Every Which Way But Loose . . . and even Dukes of Hazard, I'm afraid. Yes, I was a redneck teenager! LOL

Yes, absolutely! There will be a number of new characters, right across the board. As the journey progresses we'll see a lot of changes and moving around, and confusion and fear, and, I dare say, even a bit of conflict. Stay tuned! And yeah, cool t-shirt! haha

Just so long as it's not a trip to the Train Station!!!

Shit! I'll have to think of something else now!!!

Well, @Summerabbacat there were a LOT of deaths in the Yellowstone series. A LOT! Some were family members. Some were ranch workers. Most of them were bad guys though . . . REALLY bad guys! One of them was Jamie Dutton (Beth and Kayce's adopted brother ... he got what he deserved though. Trust me! lol) There won't be any of that happening here though, I can assure you. As for Tate setting three places ... yeah, his mom, Monica, died. Sometime between the ending of Yellowstone and the premiere of the follow up series, Marshalls. I haven't watched that one yet, so I don't know what happened.

Hmmmmm ..... @Summerabbacat ..... I'll try to keep that in mind. Yes, they will be on a ranch. Yes, there will be a cattle muster and a branding ... but there will also be some tender moments, some exploration and coming of age / awakening and ... stuff ... so I hope all this doesn't scare you off??? 🤞

@DallasCubRob thank you so much!!! ♥️ I know this story won't be everyone's "cup of tea" ... and as an Aussie trying to write an American story, I know it might be a challenge to get it right ... but as I've said, it's an itch I've wanted to scratch, so here goes! Hope you enjoy the ride!!!

There was a time when the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch seemed as permanent as the mountains that surrounded it. Generations of Duttons had lived and died on that land. They had fought for it, bled for it, and buried their dead beneath its soil. To some, it was a kingdom. To others, a symbol of everything that had been taken from them. But nothing lasts forever. In the end, the land returned to the people whose ancestors had walked it long before the first Dutton ever set foot in Monta

-- Chapter One -- A lot of water had passed under the bridge in the year since the remaining Dutton siblings, Kayce and Beth, turned their backs on Yellowstone and the old Dutton Ranch. They wouldn’t recognise it now . . . there was nothing left to recognise. When the Lakota Sioux Indian nation regained control, they kept their promise. They dismantled everything, to allow the ranch to return to nature, to return to what it was before the white man came – wilderness – and nature was he

They say the mountains always call you back. They never leave your heart. But home isn't always a place. Sometimes it's the people who share our lives, the memories we carry, and the unexpected connections we make along the way. As old friends return to Montana, two young cowboys discover that the heart has room for more than they ever imagined. For family. For friendship. For the land they love. And perhaps, for each other.

@kbois yeah dem voices. They sure make us . . . do things, don't they!!!

@Howzat there are a LOT of writers on here! I'm just one of many ya know, so it's certainly easy to overlook some dude from Oz! LOL

@Marty glad that it was ... educational ... for you! ❤️

Australia! 😁

@kbois well, that went way better than I expected. In a way, I'm actually glad that Owen was already half way out the door. Now "our boys" can truly take that long road home ... and yes, I can already see the twists and turns, and the occasional pot-hole, ahead! 😁 Great chapter. Great emotion (he says, as he wipes his eyes with the back of his hand at 3 in the morning). And really well written! AI is a useful tool ... but it can't do THAT! Well done!
