    Classic move. So I stopped for a pee and fell off the trail. I had just snuck out for a quick tour. The wife would be home soon and I was supposed to be doing renos. Here I was stuck like a fool on a simple little trail. I didn't start to get panicy till the dog looked at me like I was an idiot and snuck into the back seat. I start digging. I can move now - but cant get up on to the solid trail. The snow is too deep and sticky. Now I am stressed. Left foot braking came to the rescue. Hillbilly Atrac. A quick left foot and a gentle right foot walked me right out of the divorce I was looking at.

    Sounds like a good story to post over in the "Revoked Man Card Thread".
