That was hard. Harder yet, I had to get back to a standing position. My knees did not like any of it.
Getting down, working and getting up started taking more and more time and so, when Mother Nature didn't cooperate and it rained, I was exposed in a kneeling position for longer than I wanted.

I bought the Blue Ox Auto Stop. Brake hookup time is now somewhere between 1 and 1.5 seconds and I can do it standing up, albeit bending.
