Egads!!! Man, you're going downhill..........but I certainly understand. All my toys have internal combustion engines, and I only have to feed them when I use them. My livestock come and go........and when they go, they go into my freezer!
A mule or two would be more work than I could ever keep up with, and I always knew it, but they'd sure open up some territory. But even then, if Mrs. Huntster would have let me have an airplane (which I would have preferred over anything else), I sure could have had a lot of fun before I kilt myself in it.........
