My grandmother died and we kind of took care of my grandfather. He was winding down on his farming days, but we had mules. He had a pair of mules when i was real young. Eventually he sold off the pair of mules and we had one mule that we used for gardening and we had a full acre of garden, so there was always a lot of work to do there. Then we did some farming ourselves, so we grew corn and some hay and some wheat and some oats from time to time. And as a 12 and 13yearold boy, i was plowing that mule, in the garden, in the cornfields and so on. Before i was flying supersonic jets, i was on the south end of a north bound mule. It was a unique experience. You think about plowing mules and people had been plowing oxen for years and years, and there i was flying a jet thereafter. It was a very interesting time in history. I loved being outdo
