That hitch is higher off the ground than I remembered!
Just learned a painful lesson about aging and idiocy
Hooking up TT today in preparation for return leg back to home...have the standard Reese round bar...to those familiar, we understand that bars need to be connected on both sides of the hitch
so what do I do, when done with one side? With my almost 55 years of life experience? Do I do the sensible thing, and walk around the front of the truck to get to the other side of the hitch? NO!!! I step onto the hitch, to lift myself up and over.....so, what happens??? (drum roll).....I catch my toe under the breakaway cable or something, lose balance and fall straight onto my lower leg....now I have 'road rash' that makes it looked like I dropped a motorcycle or something...about 4 inches across and 6 inches high, completely scraped
and I KNOW better!!! I'll often say, "I USED to jump off pickup tailgates....but now I step down gently"
Putting this out there for benefit of others....not as some sort of a 'clickbait' thing
