2. "Until the cows come home" means "endlessly", as until after dark when the cows come back to the farm from grazing in the pasture.
3. "Bacon" here refers to money.
4. "Home" means home, or wherever he wanted to be; "dry" being safe, as opposed to drenched in a rainstorm.
Iyi günler.

They need to be rounded up and herded back to the barn because they'll never come home on their own. That's why the expression means "endlessly" or "forever", and not just "a long time".CJ
