A Funny Thing Happened

[1STMP]

A 1979 Jeep CJ7. 360 V8, quadratrac
transfercase.
Beautiful weather with a break in the
heat just after a thunderstorm.
Jumped in the Jeep and hit just some
simple existing dirt tracks.
Tumble weeds (green) growing down
the center. I didn't make it 100 yds
down the chosen path.
The Jeep slowly strained against any
power applied.
Shut it down and crawled underneath.
Two balls of weeds (wrapped around
both driveshafts) stopped forward
momentum.
Looking back down the path showed
weeds being plucked from their roots.
Walked a couple miles from the house
for a screwdriver to pry the weeds
from the driveshafts.

I think I would have tried backing up for a bit. But mainly because I am too lazy to walk that far for a screwdriver. Beer maybe.
