Well. Where to begin on this one .
I had said to my DW last friday it would be a good weekend to put the snow tires on. Oh! she said. There will be plenty of time to do that next week. Then my lazy side agreed with her as I said yeah O.K. ( big mistake ) but she had that tone in her voice that made me actually believe it would be all right. I am the sucker born every minute. So sunday night comes along and we've all settled into a movie, SHREK ( the old one ); when my DD starts to get sick..upset tummy cramps and vomit, the whole 9 yards. Now the DW and I are discussing which one of us will have to phone in sick tomorrow inorder to stay at home with our DD. Well DW has used up all her sick days and has spent her vacation down at DWD. So I agreed it should be me. Now its time for bed and my DD tells me " hey! its snowing outside!". There is an inch on the back deck and it was only 10:00 PM. That was the upper cut and I didn't see it comming (due to poor planning and not paying attention to the news). This kept me up all night hoping it was not going to be bad out there in the morning. I worry to much about this type of stuff and the thought of my DW having to drive in this crapy weather got the best of me. To make this story shorter I ended up going to work since I can walk there in 20 minutes. She took the day off to stay home with DD and change the tires over. Better safe than sorry I always say, and we can make up the difference another day. Anyways the moral of my story. When you need time to do somthing and a window of opportunity presents its self, take it. drive safe and always use snow tires......it's a piece of mind thing.
