I woke to the sound of ice this morning. I headed to the kennel and things were indeed covered by a thin sheen of ice, quite slippery on smooth surfaces like the patio blocks, but OK on the rocks in the play area. And the gravel driveway seemed ok too. I loaded up both teams and headed to my training spot. I decided to run the B team first, in case things were more slippery than they seemed. Well...they were. The team struggled up Poole Hill rd, only to zip down it on our way back. We were sliding around, ass end of the ATV trying to spin. The ATV also acted funny. I ran the engine for extra hold back, only I had to jump it to get the engine going and the gas would not work. I decided not to run the A team, and fed everyone at or in the truck.
Thankfully Terry happened to be at the townhouse working on the Bean Hole Beans new building. He pull-started the ATV for me and I got it back on the trailer.
I sure hope we have better luck tomorrow.
