Wintertime blues

I last rode my Harley Super Glide on Dec. 15 -- my birthday.

A massive snow storm dumped two feet of snow on Southwestern Virginia on Dec. 18, followed by a Christmas Day ice storm and three weeks of sub-freezing temperatures, so the ice in my driveway is hard, slick and unmeltable.

A warming trend over the past few days along with rain overnight on Saturday has some gravel peeking through on the driveway and a lot of what once was ice and snow is now mud.

May try to get the bike out on Monday when the high will be around 51. We'll see.
