gramcracker 28

A few days ago, Emily's adopted son, Zak, came by the house and Kenyon saw a trailer hitch ball that Zak has on the back of his truck. It is a 6 1/2 inch ball. Kenyon decided he wanted one for his Harwee just because it would be so hilarious. He found one on the internet and it came in early last week. A friend of Grant's told Kenyon that he would build a hitch piece for the ball to go onto, but Kenyon didn't want to wait because Sunday was coming up and he wanted to show it off now.

So on Saturday, Kenyon built a hitch piece for the ball out of wood. The main problem with the building of the hitch piece is that the exhaust for the Harwee is right there where the hitch is and since the ball is only made of plastic, Kenyon needed to place the ball far enough away from the exhaust so that it wouldn't melt. Plus the Harwee is so low to the ground that the hitch piece had to be built up a little higher so it wouldn't drag on the ground.

So on Saturday he gets this hitch built, attaches the ball to the hitch and goes off to town for some zip ties for the dune buggy. While in town, he had two people ask about his hitch (Kenyon loves that kind of attention). On Sunday, however, we were a little later arriving to church than usual and so not too many people in our ward saw it. Kenyon was a bit disappointed, but Hey, there's always next week.

It's pretty fun being married to him. He really enjoys life.
