Omg did someone hack or steal Julian's account? This is hilarious!!! :D
What I love about this is that MEMBERS are trying to keep this thing on the rails while the MODERATOR keeps grabbing the wheel and yanking it into the gutter! :D:D:D:D

It's good fun stuff though. @Julian you've got me in stitches here!

Is NO ONE going to remind the group that Tennis Players have fuzzy balls? (Or so I've heard....)

I'm sure Serena Williams and others would take issue with that. DO NOT PASS GO. GO DIRECTLY TO THE ME TOO LIST.

I had a Reese ball and mount and when I upgraded to the 242x, I upgraded to a U-Haul ball and mount. The old Reese one was rated for 6,000lbs (the 242x dry on the trailer comes in at 5,400) and the U-haul is rated at 7,500lbs. I figured for the same price, I'd get the extra 1,500 of cushion. Additionally, the U-Haul ball come with a cotter pin that goes through the nut and stops it from wiggling loose. When I bought it, I had to flip the ball over, and the guy at U-Haul was even nice enough to flip it, mount it and torque it for me.
