Safety tip for less experienced towers.

Postby khigh » Sun Sep 21, 2014 1:09 pm

Wanna know what hurts like a scalded mother......?

Busting your shorts-clad shin into your trailer hitch that you don't normally have inserted. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I hope that's one of those things you don't do twice.

khigh, Howdy;

Know of what you speak. Found it took at least once going in each direction
before I cultivated the "Muscle Memory" to not repeat the experience.
