Hitching up duhh

Jim very graciously helped us to hitch up the trailer as we got ready to pull out of the IRG4.0. For some reason, the ball wouldn't engage with the coupler. They pushed and pushed, moved the trailer back and forth, pushed some more. Aha! We forgot to take the rubber cover off the ball (we had put it there on Friday after one too many marks on our jeans from the grease.) Once the cover was taken off, it still wouldn't engage. Thanks, Joan, for figuring out that all that pushing had stuck the coupler in the up position - took some jiggling to unstick it.(not sure I got all the terminology right but you got the idea)

 

Fwiw, I believe there was also one redwood and one doug fir bite. I just don't seem to remember whose they were. :whistle:

 

It was a educational experience and nobody got hurt(just our pride).
