    So, you fill your glass with water and tip it in the freezer? Cool effect.

    No, this rubber thingy goes on the glass and you fill it up and then freeze it:

    I'll try to remember to get a photo once it is ready to go into the freezer.

    The drawback to the new trailer. How do you like the hooks for picking up the deck versus eyes? Probably wouldn't have to worry as much about forgetting to latch it.

    They have pros and cons. Pro is they don’t push a bunch of mud between the stirrups and the trailer. Con- you have to be pretty well straight to get it connected. It can be a real ##### if you are a little crooked when you detach

    I guess I'm a wuss Truckdad because the little dilution of melting ice seems perfect to me. I might drink less/slower if were straight though! I dang sure ain't going to turn down one without ice if offered!
