It's been a while since I've used a bumper pull. I can hook up the  
gooseneck with my eyes closed (I guess most people could). Hitting the  
bumper pull with a new truck and a new trailer for the first time...it  
just took me about two seconds longer than normal.

Please don't worry, you carers. I am properly chastened and won't do  
it again. I won't need to.

Point well made.
