At least it wasn't snowing
colder than the north pole, but no snow, thank whatever. My wife calls me a couple of hours ago, she blew out a tire and needed the spare put on.
So I hustle down to where she was working to put on the temp, and wouldn't you know it my cheater pipe wasn't in the car. I tried using the tire iron that came with her car, it's about ten inches long and try as we might just couldn't generate the torque needed to turn the nuts.
So I drive twenty moles back home, my cheater isn't in the garage where I thought it was, but, I did find a piece of pipe, so hustled back, the nuts came right off, five minutes later she's ready to go get the tire replaced, and I'm freezing it's 15 degrees out, my car heater works when it's 80 degrees out, but at least it's not snowing.
Damn I love cold winter mondays.
