So you can scream down the Interstate, towing the Airstream, in reverse??
Ebikes on the front hitch, Airstream in the back. Also, for some very tight parking, it's easier to back the trailer into a spot when on the front hitch because you can see better. Mike A neighbor of mine with a really tall house has a cool rack that he puts on the front hitch of his truck so he can put a ladder in it, drive up to the house, and then scale to the roof for whatever repairs need to be done. I'm envious but my wife won't let me up on the roof anyways. No skin off my nose. I'll always take less work.

We got a new roof and gutters last year, and the contractor's customer-service reps keep calling to ask whether they're OK. Our eaves are 18 feet up, and even if we still had our 20-foot ladder (which was stolen several years ago), I'm well past the age at which clambering around that far off the ground is prudent. So I just say, "So far no leaks" and leave it at that. (I suspect that they're just fishing for a new job anyway.)

Cool and breezy this morning, down right comfortable this afternoon. Early calls from the hospital this morning to get more info before next week's meetings with surgeons, anesthesia people, etc. and then muscle biopsy. I'm going to be crankier than ever next week, I should probably stay away from the keyboard so I don't get tossed off the board.
