Snow! Need chains? Try Pep Boys.
If anyone is heading up to the mountains and needs chains, just wanted to let you know that Pep Boys will sell them to you and you can return them unused for a small 10% re-stocking fee. We took some up to our Colorado Road trip this Christmas and fortunately didn't need to use them. We beat the storm into town, but I was sure happy to be able to return them for such a reasonable fee.
Rainy Days in Aliso Viejo
It's Monday the 23rd of January and it's raining. I love the rain. Living by the natural areas, we need as much as we can get to keep it green and free from fire danger.
I am always amazed at how many people complain about it, and continue to drive as if there are normal conditions outside.
What do you do to keep yourself busy on a rainy day if you are not at work? Does anyone enjoy walking in the rain anymore? My dogs don't seem to mind..
