Merry Christmas, life goes on...
True story, please use discretion for who reads, I will be as politically and medically correct as I can.
This is also a safety tip:
So, hitch release lever on the trailer, the tongue of it,
vary. This one is a lever that sticks straight up about 4" when released.
Night time, 23rd eve or 24th morn,
Very dark outside.
I know my property, so I move around in the dark often.
In my pathway was one of my trailers, I knew exactly where
. So, though not wearing work clothes, just thin sweatpants,
I stepped over the tongue of the trailer.
I was suddenly reminded the release lever was still up,
my sweats caught in the 'private' area, tore, and yes,
went on through and sliced the 'scrotem'.
Laugh, at this point, I've decided it can be called a 'ball release',
that's a joke. Didn't know how much ya can bleed down there, wow.
Went to Emergency Department to get cleaned up and stitched up. Prior to that procedure, they thankfully gave me an injection to numb that immediate area.
At that time, and maybe for the rest of my life,
if you call me 'numb-nuts' I deserve it, haha.
So: safety tip:
After pulling the hitch or ball release on your trailer,
then moving the vehicle, may be a good idea to flip the
release lever back down.
Maybe its just me.
What can I say, gotta laugh or cry.
Everyone have a Merry, and a Happy New Year.
Hope folks can get a giggle out of this true story,

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
