Red face Caught off guard

by my own design, and weather.

With my recent surgery and trip to California during the recuperation I never got my Blizzaks mounted on the 560. Ooops! Woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow, no biggie I thought as I went out for morning coffee. Wrong!

My Yokohama H4's are virtually worthless in the current conditions. I did get my morning cup at the filling station but it wasn't a pleasant drive. Definitely two hand conditions, kinda tough when you've only got one. With the summer tires the car likes to pick its own path .

Tomorrow morning I will be heading straight to the tire shop to have my winter tires mounted. Gotta do it ASAP as I have to drive 1/2 way across the State on Tuesday for my next Dr visit. As soon as I got home I brought my winter tires to the front door so I can start loading them into the 560.

I guess I should have mounted them while it was still too warm. Oh well, live and learn.
