Clearing the Wheel Well

Dried clay hardened right inside my rear wheel well after earlier. Every roll came with an irritating rattle against the tire. Couldn't leave that friction dragging on my axle overnight. I lined up straight with the ribbed border of the heavy rubber doormat and hit reverse. Shunted back, rocked forward, struck it again. A solid clump snapped free and skittered across the smooth tiles. Axle spins silent now. Clear and ready to park.
