Maybe you were blue because your wife had a pillow over your face? Just a thought.

Hi,
I go to the shop and not only change the air, I change out all four tires and put my winter tires on the rims. I keep thinking about buying another set of wheels but haven't gotten around to it. That would mean changing all four tires myself, with a hand jack. I'm getting too lazy in my old age.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I bought 4 tires that are called traction winter tires and I just leave them on. They are a hum to them during the summer but my hearing is not overly bothered by the sound and I don't have to pay someone or try to do a change out.Hi,

I have two sets of tires (summer & winter (real not all-season)) each on rims.
I watch the snow-level come down on the hills (aka mountains) and wait till we'll have snow sticking on our valley bottom.
I swap out the summers for the winter out in the drive-way in about 30 min. When that happens depends on what we get from Mom Nature each late fall/early winter.
Typically, in mid-March we have a distinct weather shift that starts pushing the snow back up, and then I put the summers back on.
Driving on dry pavement on the softer winter rubber makes them wear out faster. I also use only stiped tires. Tried studded tires once but the studs wear down fast on plowed roads. Studded tires are really only good when you live where the roads are snow-packed all winter.

If I ever get that way I will look you up. I think we could pass a good time. You are spot on with the "Eastern" northerners. Where I was born we eat gumbo, but I have never driven through any. Lol

Our "Gumbo" vs. the southern dish.

Traveling across the prairie is always an adventure, but there is one thing that can stop any prairie traveler in their tracks: gumbo. What is gumbo? The easy answer is that it’s just mud, but it’s not your average mud. You might think to yourself, “How bad can mud be?” Anyone who has...

BTW it occurs in Idaho also (personal experience) since ID isn't mentioned in the article.

I am familiar with gumbo. Much like driving in wet clay. Manitoba is full of it, Minnesota not so much...at least not in these parts.Our "Gumbo" vs. the southern dish.

It actually is type of clay that's super slick & sticky when wet then concrete when dry.
Nasty stuff.
