The Chain Gang

For the love of chains...
So, as I said before my amazing parents bought me a 4wd car so I wouldn't have to deal with chains in the snow. Dan, on the other hand, is not so lucky. He is currently driving my other Jeep "Princess" a 2wd car. This car definitely needed chains for the snow and so the adventure began. I bought the first set of chains up in Tahoe. I had all the specs from my tires including a picture and the 3 Kragen employees insisted the chains I bought were the right ones. Well guess what, they were wrong, way too big for the tires. So operation find the right chains began. This time I had my brother Todd and Dan's help so I was assured to get the right ones. Last pair in the store and they fit perfect. Of course, this wouldn't be the last trip we took to Kragen since it's so much fun to be around dirty smelly men. On the new chains we bought, a piece broke off before we even used them. Since chains are supposed to be non-refundable, we knew this would be fun. After hours of waiting around listening to the manager talk about his girlfriend dumping him last night blah blah blah, we finally got a new pair. Let's see how long these will last us. On a side note, I think I might be getting used to the cold.....or maybe my body is just numb.

  1. Omg that sound like a shitty day on the bright side you got to hang out at an auto repair store all day! Do you have sand bags in the back of the truck? It helps my sister drive her monster during winter in the midwest you should try all you need is to get stuck in a ditch. That would make for a good story tho. Miss u and stay warm xo
