The Mini Freeze Your B@ll$ Off Ride Jan 29, 2014

Having said I would not ride my ATV in January, this goes to show my wife is right, and I am wrong once again.  The GrizzLee started right up, and while it was warming, I opened the divider between back and front yards.  I'm sure it expected to go in the truck, as that is almost always it's first stop when leaving the building.  Boy was it ever surprised!

Oblivous to me or the Grizz, the kids played in out in the street,

at times loosing their footing.

Other than for children, the street was deserted.

I eased the Grizz out of the building wondering if I'd need 4WD.  Things seemed OK, so I took a more or less direct route to the tree, the only one in the front yard.  I sat here, pondering my next move.

I proceeded in the direction of the driveway, wary of the ice under the snow.  I made 4 complete doughnuts, 2 of them on the state road.  Yea.  In NC at that!  Feeling refreshed and having dodged sure jail time, and also having rode my ATV in January, I took a more leisurely ride back to the building.  I pulled the Grizz inside and turned it off.  

Sorry, I didn't turn the GPS on so no track.

A day or two of this is neat (and always awesome in WV), but upon careful consideration, I have decided you guys can have this great white north crap all to yourself. The roads still look like they do on that Alsaka State Troopers show. White and bumpy. We are just not equipped to deal with it here, particularly Atlanta.  Ever heard of such a mess??

It's rapidly melting (finally).  We'll probably have a flood now...  Laughing
