I did my part to make it rain this evening. Even though the storm clouds were building up, I went out and caught the mules. Even though the wind was starting to blow, I groomed the mules. I was just getting ready to put the saddle on Bud when the thunder started, which is when I finally threw in the towel and headed back to the house. And yes, it did rain. Not a lot, but enough to qualify as real rain. You know if I had just stayed inside on the grounds that it looked like it was going to rain, the clouds would have blown over without spilling a drop.
I don't think I mentioned this yet, but on Friday night, I decided to turn my air conditioner on for the first time this year. And it didn't come on. I called the repair guy today and it turned out to be nothing more than a loose wire. How lucky was that?
It was about lunch time when the AC guy left and I was feeling sorry for Buckley because it was so hot outside, so I let him stay inside. I shut the bedroom doors, locked all the boots in the dog crate, picked everything up off the floor except his toys and bed, and said, "Heck, how much trouble can he get into in one afternoon?" HA! He managed to get at most everything that was on the kitchen table. The only serious damage was to the two books he chewed up, one of which was a brand new hardback that I wasn't finished reading yet. AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
I watched another episode of Hawaii Five-O while I was eating my dinner. They were making mimeographs! Oh, did that bring back some memories. When I was a teacher, that's how I made handouts and tests. We were high-tech, though. Our mimeo machine wasn't a hand-crank, it was electric, so you just had to set it up and push the button.
