Good morning CT'ers.
Off this morning to get two 40 lb. bags of blue seal dog food. They love to eat.

I thought that I heard the "Ford Gods" saying Tom, Tom, why have you forsaken me. A Prius???? lol

Nah, it's not rated to tow anything. From what I gather the primary purpose for a hitch on a Prius is to haul around your bicycle. I'm too lazy for that, and I don't think it'd handle the weight of my motorcycle.

Perhaps a small trailer to haul all the money I'm saving to the bank. Certainly not my self respect though, that went with the truck.
