I’ve just gotta share a little victory from this past weekend. It dawned on me that if I could set the back window of my topper shell out at just the correct angle I might be able to see a top view of the hitch and ball in my rear view mirror. Sure enough. Pushing it out 15 inches from the tailgate gave me a great view. So out came the C-clamps, and a garden hoe. I backed up to the trailer, missed by a couple inches, as usual. But this time I got to stay inside. Pulled forward, then backed her right in there – second try!!! And I never had to get out and look. Permanent version is "in the design stages". Just think how many marriages this could save! Jim on "Grizzly Bear"

An Idea

Hey! That gives me an idea! A small mirror on a swivel hooked to the tailgate of my truck...

I once saw

a power boat that had what looked like a rearveiw mirror on the winch post. But here is the puzzeler why does the mirror only reverse left and right but not up and down?

It's your eyes Rick......

Rick, Your eyes are left-right. Mirrors flip left for right. If your eyes were stacked on your face the mirror would flip top for bottom and you'd look like my sister.

Ask Your Wife (for humor)

Ask your wife and see what answers you get ? <grin>. Okay, so I have offended half of the readers. To offend the other half: wifes, ask your husbands to sweep something and watch them put half the dirt back in the air. Now that I don't have any friends, I'll go off and eat some worms by myself.
