You can buy a kitchen sink, and toilet there too. And lug nut covers, made from vinyl tread protection caps.

Yeah, mine are Les Schwab branded, but 1520 in the #.

Good advice and I will do if it looks like there's a possibility that I'll need them. I'm not planning any more mountain trips, so should be ok. Oh, man I really don't want to use them!

BTW - I heard a rumor this morning that snow is expected this weekend - on the valley floor and even the coastal beaches.

Yeah they're forecasting the "S" word for elevations higher than 100ft. Of course when you get to an elevation that low... it could reach sea level. Right now it doesn't look like a major snow event... maybe only 1"-3" at best. Stay tuned to your local news.
I'm glad I got those Les Schwab chains (just-in-case).

Very funny reply! But there are two problems with your claim: scorpions and hurricanes. I'd take earthquakes and snow over those anytime!
