    My brain froze and I was CHEATED out of the ice cream to make it worthwhile...... ######!

    In states that have chain carry laws, when are they typically in effect? I know we are either close to it, if not already.... hmmmm

    If you need to carry chains at any time during the year, why would you not have them year round?

    In Colorado, Traction Laws go into effect Sept. 1st until May 31st. Also, 4 wheelers must have a minimum of 3/16ths thread. Fines are hefty,,any predictions on the 1st pileup???

    Oregon will check anytime. They're boastfully proud of it.

    One time I needed another chain for Washington. Talking to the mechanic at home base. He "woke" up and said: They only check from XXXX to XXXX! I said: It's snowing.
