October 2010 Issues

"Time keeps on slippin'... into the future." - Seal or Steve Miller, depending on which song you are listening to.

We get the October issues tomorrow morning. We sent the mailing list earlier today. Which means, I know have to tell people that when they subscribe for the first time, their first issue will be the November issue, which goes in the mail October 25. .... When did this happen? How could I be talking about the November issue already? It was like 95 when I was riding a couple days ago...that is summer weather!
I guess Seal and Steve are right. Geez, it is depressing.

Camri has moved on to riding Shedaisy, my brother's old mule. They have gone on a couple of rides and are getting along swimmingly. Camri likes her beause "she is fast!" I think they will make a good team.

Awesome Pumpkin

Chelsea Kennedy from Columbia, Mo., a friend of our family and client of my dads, created this awesome pumpkin carving of Hoosier and Camri.
I can't wait to show it to Camri. I just hope she knows her mom will not be able to carve anything close to this! Cam will be lucky if her pumpkin has two eyes and a mouth! :)
Thank you, Chelsea, for sharing this with us! It is so cool!

Busy Weekend

Sue is up at the Boone County Fairgrounds at in Columbia, Mo., for the sale this weekend. Cole, Dad, and I are headed to Locust Grove, Okla., for another showdeo today and tomorrow. Cam has a family reunion to attend, so she is not getting to go this time.
So it looks like we will be pretty busy this weekend. Which is OK. I don't mind being busy, especially since fall is so rapidly approaching, and it will start to get cool soon.
The October issue of Mules and More is now at the printers. Which means we are already working on November. That seems so weird to say...but I started a "11/10 Copy" folder today, so I know it's true!
Where did the summer go? I miss it already :(

deadmau5 - Dancing On My Own (Live)

I can't figure out how to get the video up, but after the link is a clip of Robyn at the VMAs. She is kind of my hero. Her dance moves are pretty sweet.

I've been doing web design work today. It gets a little dull, which would explain why I have been searching for Robyn videos for the last 15 minutes...

Redneck Swingset

Eh. No biggie.

So I'm working on a Saturday. I did get six days off last week, though, so I'm not complaining. I am in the process of printing lasers, then I will be out the door! I have got a very short "to do" list to finish up tomorrow, then I will have the October issue finished and ready to be sent to the printer.
This issue has a lot of interesting articles in it. It is nice when we get a wide variety like this.
Hopefully we see some of you next weekend. My grandma will be at the Boone County Mule Sale in Columbia, Mo., and the rest of us (minus Camri) will be at the Sycamore Springs Showdeo in Locust Grove, Okla.
Enjoy your weekend!

Back from the races...

I'm back from the National Championship Chuckwagon Races in Clinton, Ark. Most. Fun. Ever. Words can not even describe that place down there. Great time.

Buuuutttt now it is back to reality. I've got to get this magazine sent up to the printer by the 10th of the month. I highly doubt that will happen, but we will see. I'm going to include the chuckwagon races in the October issue, so send in your photos if you were there, too.

I've played this song on my ipod about 50 times today, I'm guessing it is pretty indicative of the type of mood I'm in:

I need to shake this weird mood. Maybe setting copy will do it?
