| "Never"...and I repeat "Never!" leave a trailer hitch drawbar in the receiver throughout the winter when it is attached with a one of those push button deadbolt lock pins!! I spent most of the evening with WD40, a BF hammar, a hack saw, and numerous Yuenglings to try to get it off. I was in the middle of a good 10 minute hack saw carbide blade dulling, turret syndrom blurting frenzy when I decided to try the goofy round key for a final time. The once rust encrusted, now glimmering simulated stainless steel lock (rust is now on my "dressy" work dockers) fell into my hand faster than change from a Belvidere toll booth employee. I decided I needed a new draw bar and ball to pick up the wooden Albatros from storage (Yes Steve..I know I should have bought a Tuffy instead) to be on the "safe" side. Sooo....if you see an ark being towed by a gold Chevy east bound on 94 toward the Twin $hitties this coming Saturday....run for your life! The good news for the day was that I received a double jointed lure that I "Won!" on Ebay that will hopefully put a Mille Lacs Tulibee eating fatty in the boat for me in 2005.

| Mr. Golden, Please delete the two wild hair "Lesson Learned" posts. I unfortunately can have a few Yuenglings and can take off and land a 737-400 from MDW-ORD under IFR conditions on MS Flight Simulator, but I can't submit a post like a normal human on Muskie First. Have a great vacation, and please give us details of your fun. I just went to N. Carolina to visit a Bulldog, to give you an idea of what exciting life I lead.
