Another tradition around this time is to change your tyres to handle the snow & ice. It's a real hassle to do it and takes over an hour and I always end up with some muscle I haven't used in a while aching for days after. And it's cold, and boring. So yesterday I set a few hours aside to do this, put on shitty clothes, grabbed a beer and went to work. And on the second bolt of the first tyre I had to give up because I broke the damn tyre iron (or whatever it's called in english, you know that steel cross thing you take off the bolts with). I don't know who put that bolt on but it wasn't coming off - at all. So I admitted defeat (even though it was the tools that broke, not me!) and put the first bolt back on...
... and drove 400 meter to the car mechanics and had them do it in 15 minutes for $20...
