All We Need’s More Rain
Mules are a great subject to tackle especially with all the crazy dealings I’ve had with them. I once foolishly made a bet with a radio DJ that I could go up and down a water park slide more times than he could to raise money for some charity. That was back when I was the morning Ag director at KFAY radio. If I lost I had to ride a mule with the other directors in the Rodeo of the Ozark Parades. I announced a rodeo in Ozark on Friday night, drove home late, and went up and down that water slide all the next day, and went back that evening and announced again. My youngest daughter had her driver license or permit and drove me back home from down there as I slept.
Life is Simple
Usually I try to study the weather and cut hay when there is a 3-day window of calm conditions. In this unusually wet spring and summer when there are no 3-day windows, I’ve changed my habits and have tried to cut the day before a rain, hoping that it will dry enough in the 2-day window that follows in order to bale before the next rain.
