Also got a pansized grunter, and a small trevally, both released. -- Edited by...

I don't know wether it's just my eyes or if Jonathan is trying to fill the Funny Farms... Each time I look at his Avatar it seems to change.. One day it's a normal, er unaltered pic then the next day the eyes & nose are stretched.... I think I'm Losing It!!!!

Hi all, we are about to take off on another adventure in July and want to see about adding maybe a towball lock when the van is unhitched. Have any of you knowledgeable Goeys any suggestions as to a brand, type or even another method of security that is practical? Thanks in advance.
