(Mules are a lot smarter than people give them credit for).

It helps a great deal in the reduction of sanitizing chemicals (I don't use chlorine, although it does help there as well). My primary sanitizer is 20% peroxide, although biguinide is the second, and THAT is where I get the big boost. I used to use about 2 gallons a month, now it is about half a gallon. <br /><br />I love the memories, by the way. I remember being able to get the muleteam. Also, although not related, the Budweiser wagon and 8-up hitch. I bought a model for my Dad, as he was 'teamster' (although NOT a member of the union). He once drove a 32-up mule hitch. Back when the first combines came out it took 32 to pull and run the danged things! His normal team was a 2-up matched set of Clydesdales.<br /><br />Fair Winds and thanks again for the memories! I love the other pics too.<br /><br />Cap'n JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051512728005374779.post-68302194023576588862016-06-03T09:49:53.272-04:002016-06-03T09:49:53.272-04:00You can watch the old ones here:
