Well, the Jazz did it–they went down to Houston and beat the Rockets in game 7! And now they face the red-hot Golden State Warriors. Whether or not the Jazz can win another huge series remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure, my 11-year old son will be watching, and cheering, and screaming, and groaning. He’ll jump up and down when they make a big shot. He’ll hide his head when they miss or get a bad call. Whoever wins, it will be exciting around here.

We have a couple of huge Jazz fans in the family. My mother in law has season tickets and several of her relatives fight over who gets to go to the games with her. Regardless of who attends the game, that person is always calling the others to talk the game over after it’s done, win or lose.

If you have an NBA fan among your friends or family, keep in mind that an NBA trailer hitch cover makes a great gift, (even if you have to give it to yourself!) Our trailer hitch covers are useful, durable, good looking, a great way to show your support for your team, and, during the month of May, all NBA hitch covers are 15% off! So, if you’ve been thinking about getting a hitch cover for your truck or SUV, now is a great time to do it.

Happy trailering, and best of luck to your team, unless of course they’re playing the Jazz, and then I’ll just have to offer my condolences.

Apparently bull balls, truck nutz (www.trucknutz.com), or whatever other brand name you know them by are raising quite a stir in Maryland. Del. LeRoy E. Myers Jr., R-Washington/Allegany, filed a bill for Maryland to ban such “toys” and others like them with fines up to $500 for drivers caught displaying them. He sees it as a law supporting decency, others, like the ACLU, see it as a law contrary to the first ammendment.

The text of the bill reads :

“A person may not display on a motor vehicle any model, sign, sticker, or other item that depicts or resembles anatomically correct, less than completely and opaquely covered, human or animal genitals, human buttocks, or human female breasts.”

While I haven’t found Bull Balls anything more than a crude form of humor, as a mother, I would fully support removing the playboy bunny and similar depictions of the famale form from mud flaps and bumper stickers, so I guess I’m up in the air on this one.

We are pretty proud of our selection of trailer hitch covers – 300 and counting. But every time I search for hitch covers on the internet, I find more styles, types, and designs than I ever thought possible. Just today, I found websites that sell hitch covers for numerous college and NFL teams, a PG hitch cover for country singer Pat Green, a Superman hitch cover, and even one hitch cover that looks like a real train coupler! And then there are always the sites that offer custom hitch covers that you can totally personalize. What’s the moral of this story?? You have no excuses for a naked trailer hitch receiver, no matter what you are in to!

I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone today, and near the end of the conversation, he said, “Hey, you need to put your locking hitch pins on a more prominent place on your website.” When I asked him why, he said his University of Colorado hitch cover that he bought last fall got stolen a couple days ago. He said when he bought it he figured “who is going to steal a trailer hitch cover???”. Well, people will steal anything that isn’t bolted down or locked, and he found that out the hard way. That’s the real reason why we decided to offer the discount on the locking hitch pins when you buy any one of our trailer hitch covers — there is nothing worse that having your brand new hitch cover stolen when your truck is parked and you aren’t around. I guess all we can suggest is that you think seriously about a locking hitch pin with your new trailer hitch cover.  For our part, we will continue offering the discount for the foreseeable future…

In fact, most of my day is spent with trailer hitch accessories – whether Im placing orders, answering questions, or looking for new products to carry. As such, I see a lot of ideas, some good, many bad. I thought it was time to share my knowledge with all of you, so here it is: 8 trailer hitch accessories you’ve never heard of.

8. Hammaka hitch mounted hammock chairs – bringing hammock comfort to highway speeds

From the Hammaka website:

“Climb In…Hang Out. That’s the idea behind Hammaka Hammock Chairs and Hammocks. Each of our products is carefully designed for uncommon comfort, ease and relaxation, with a serious focus on quality.”

A serious focus on quality is a must. Cruising in a hammock behind your truck is a great way to pick up chicks, but one loose screw and the dream is over. Ride responsibly.
