Wife says salt is easier

[Dirt_Dad]

Winter finally arrived and stranded the bike at home. TCS is great, but still not going to intentionally tackle ice with it. Driveway was coated in a sheet of ice. I decided to attempt to break it up in a way consistent with my personality. Wife asked me "why don't you just use salt?" :question: Sometimes she really doesn't understand me. Personally I think my way was working just fine.

Breaking the ice

Your method is clearly better ::003::

Yup, looks like way more fun than shaking salt... ::008::

Looks fine from here! Salting is bad for the blood pressure and corrosion on metal parts. Bike sat here for over a week now. We got hammered with snow. I have been without power for three days and not expected to return for 3 more either.

That sucks. I've seen on the news you guys are getting hit hard. Good luck on getting life back to normal.

That's rude, dude. Been reading about your woes down there. For once, I think I'll take my weather over yours. Hope that nonsense is over soon. R

I definitely like your way better DD. You could always make the Mrs. happy and spread a little salt when you are finished. My lane looks a little icy today too. Mo' ice tonight...oh boy :



Dang HoebSter...dig out soon man. Several winters in a row here in the east have gone that way. This one is a comparitive piece of cake...so far.

Dirt_dad.....I have plenty of salt but don't have the driveway like you to do that needs a "guys" touch Hoebster, hope conditions improve soon for you guys out there......I was supposed to be in Colorado skiing for the week, but the wife nixed the trip at the last minute.......arrggghhh, talk about throwing "salt" on something

At least you have power to be on the Forum! ::022::

Good luck getting your power restored for the "less important" items in life!!

Rod, My boss made me drive into work to make sure our store was open. ::010:: ON the worst day we did $30 worth of invoices. I sat here on the computer looking at forum till my eyes crossed. The snow wasn't all that bad here with 5-7"! South of us near Olympia the capital, they got 12-17" of snow. For us that is bad. The ice rain started ontop of 4-6 inches of snow, then trees covered in ice starting falling everywhere. Roads are all clear and dry now, just not the power lines. I will head to house mid-day today to empty freezer where meat and other stuff has almost completely unthawed.
Later Guys!!!

well done - my boys were doing the same on their quads. ::012::

Any other way of breaking up the ice on your driveway would be a waste of time.
