      Absolutely down to our incompetence, although winter tyres would have been nice! We're between Tignes & Val Disere.

        @Alex:

        If anyone is looking for some accelerated evo on their jeans, attempting to fit snow chains in two-foot deep snow helps, as @Giles can confirm from the pool of indigo he left near the front left tyre of our hire car this morning…

        That's so weird I had to deal with snow chains today too. I had to rent some to get inside Sequoia National Park. I rented the smallest tire size because I had no intention on actually using them. What a coincidence.  ???

          We bought tyre socks which are idiot proof, after two hours of not putting chains on!!

            I'm picturing grey tires with red Triple Works W's on the side walls. I held a pair of the Iron Heart socks yesterday and they are insanely awesome. Glad you guys made it okay and are safe.

              Surprised by that. I don't think snow chains are even legal on cars in Norway any more due to the damage they do to roads, and to the quality of studded and non-studded winter tyres. Only lorries and trucks over a certain tonnage can have them and even then only when strictly necessary.

                My in-laws are insane. They're discussing whether they should drive from Houston back to Las Vegas instead of flying. Why are they considering a 1,500 mile drive, you ask? So he can take his guitar back with him, and it's too expensive to check an extra piece of luggage…

                  whoa… sounds like a good excuse to buy another guitar.

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                    I checked Southwest's baggage policy- you can check a guitar like regular luggage, and they allow two bags for free.  So the guitar would cost them nothing to take back versus a three day drive with attendant gas, food, lodging, etc. costs.

                    All he needs to do is buy a decent hard case for the guitar (which he should have bought years ago anyway).

                      Now @Chris don't be logical with the in-laws. You know by now you'll only come off second best.  😢

                            but why not. that's the question!! i'd pick driving over flying anytime for that distance. it's so much more fun!! i recently did 1400km in a day. and roughly 3500km in total spanning 5 days 😃

                              Yes he did. Just a little too gross @Filthy25ozJunkie, sorry mate.

                                Interview went well today, should hopefully hear back by the end of the week.
                                Was initially with two women, and then they called their supervisor in too so I hope that's a good sign!

                                          My Dad almost died last week. This time last week I was basically saying my goodbyes.

                                          On Friday he went into a hospice (a truly amazing place with some incredibly hard working people).

                                          Went to see him this evening and he has made such a remarkable recovery that he is going to be going home!

                                          Nice to see him on good form but incredibly fucking bewildering considering we were told he had days to live!
