And my father taught me to use mirrors, but his teaching methods were a little different. He hated / feared mirrors, craned his neck around, and backed into anything and everything on the ranch! I vowed to myself that I would not be “that guy”!!!LOL!

Mirrors were the high tech apparatus of the 50's those crazy kids were using.

Hitch view on my some other brand (SOB) truck while we are still on the subject.

Wife and I had a lovely day cutting trees and clearing brush on our new property preparing a driveway. Perfect day for it. We were both whipped when we got home, but for some crazy reason we had a great time!

Our number 4 tree. Amazing what nature comes up with sometimes.

Yeah, under ideal conditions, that is what I see. But it seems as though I am just about always hooking either early in the morning or late afternoon and that is when the glare and shadows are the worst. So it is mostly the old skool way for me, which is not a big deal because it might take me 30 seconds longer.
I have tried parking my trailer oriented in different directions to combat the issue but old skool still works best.

I painted the tip of my coupler fluorescent green so I could see it better in the camera. That lasted about a year. It needs another coat now that it has faded, but I'm not sure I'm going to bother.

Her name is Carol Lang, a model from the Chicago area. She was drag racer Gary Dyer's girlfriend, according to my research. She appeared in small roles in two films, 'Delusion' (1991) and 'Cream' (2016).

No, that tree is staying for it's oddity status Seems the squirrels use it for a picnic table based on the nut shells sitting on it, could definitely see a row of kids sitting there for a picture. I think it's a hickory of some sort, will figure it out when the leaves come along.

Happy Friday guys!

I'm pumped to work on the RZR this weekend. Should be a decent transformation. I'll be ready to hit the trails this summer.

Nice pics Eric!
