    My favorite time of year. Not even kidding. I run west. And this is when the real truck drivers come out to play. I love throwing chains. Love the challenges. This is when I get to show some of the steering wheel holders up.

    Dang it! I left my chaining clothes at home. Guess my flip flops and nitrile gloves will have to do.

    Oh, I can beat even that one, Pete! The very first time I chained was between Fort Worth and Austin during one of those epic Texas ice storms. I-35 was closed, so I hit the backroads to the west, as I wasn't about to sit the weekend in Austin if I missed my delivery appointment at the prison. Took all dang night, but I got there!:biggrin_2559:
