We had an adventure today...
Went to go pick up my motorcycle from where its been sitting for 2 months outside covered in snow and ice. Picked up a trailer and headed out about 50 miles to where its parked. Dug out the bike and saw the clock on the speedo was still on! I thought for sure the battery would be dead.

After an HOUR, I finally got the bike to the end of the driveway. AN HOUR. Pushing, shoveling, falling.. Just a fun time.

THEN, I go to pull into the little access road next to the driveway (the flattest spot around, or so it used to be.) The trailer pushed the a55 end and it sunk right off the side, I tried to correct but the weight of the trailer, and the fact my 4wd isn't the best right now just swung me right off the edge. My right rear tire dug in and I was done. I came withing ~8-9" of a utility box. If that wasnt there I could have wiggled it down and drove along side the access road.

Called my buddy with his Cummins and we unhooked the trailer and drug it back out of the road, and back into the driveway. Simple enough, right? Wrong. The tow rope and everything was frozen solid, and completely tangled. Took another 30 mins to break that loose and get it around the trailer.
He then hooked to me and tried to pull my rear axle back onto the road and the whole truck away from the box but got caught on a downed log under the snow and decided I had to go forward. Instead of burying myself even more and since we were losing daylight (only had ~5hrs total today.) We just decided to hook up front and pull me out.

Then on the way back home I decided to stop and blow off some steam... SNOWNUTS SON!

But, the bike got to its new covered home, truck and trailer are now safely parked in the lot.
